The beginnings
The Italian’s relationship with sex began at an early age, as he himself tells in the documentary rocco. She felt a fire between her legs that she couldn’t put out: “I’ve always thought about sex.”
His drive for sex and poverty at home led him to make the decision that changed his life. “I have to do something to help my mother,” he thought before entering the world of pornography. His mother was also the first to support him. “Does it make you happy? Is that what you want to do? Then do it,” she told her.
Achieving fame, getting money to sleep with beautiful women multiple times a day (confessed to having had 3-4 sexual intercourse a day for 20 years), being desired by many and admired by millions might seem like a perfect life.

Another of the nicknames used in the industry to refer to Rocco was: “Mr. 23cm”.
