Bologna in numbers
Why Bologna
From Bologna the nearest production cities are Modena, Ferrara and Reggio nell'Emilia. We book in both directions and plan travel so that it pays off.
For models from Bologna the fairs (Cosmoprof and Bologna Children's Book Fair) are fixed dates in the calendar: product presentations, shows on the stand, content for social media.
As a university city, Bologna is home to many young faces, and brands shoot campus and recruiting campaigns here. Students from Bologna apply to us particularly often.
Travel and support
Applicants from Italy are welcome. From Bologna everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Italy and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Bologna?
Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.
02Does the application cost anything?
Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
03How tall do I need to be?
Guide values: women 172 to 181 cm, men 184 to 192 cm for fashion. For commercial and e-commerce we book outside these ranges as well.
04Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Not for the application. The first conversation is a video call; castings happen in the region or in Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train.
05Which photos should I send?
Four natural photos: face front, face profile, full body front, full body side. Daylight, plain clothes, no make-up, no filters.
06Will I hear back?
We read every application in Bologna and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
07What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
08Are there jobs in Bologna?
Bologna and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Rome, Milan and Turin as well.
