As an Italian-American citizen based in Los Angeles, CA, Massimo boasts a distinguished academic background from the renowned United World College of the Adriatic, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Mount Saint Mary University, and Pepperdine University. Fluent in five languages (English, Italian, Spanish, Croatian, Serbian), Massimo's cultural heritage, born within the Istrian Italian minority in Istria (Croatia), imbues his interests, research, and performances with a unique depth. This rich heritage enables Massimo to seamlessly transition between Italian and Latin roles and projects to Eastern European, Asians, Australians, Africans, North Americans, and all continents, where he contributes as an educator, performer, director, mentor, coach, or instructor. His next ambition is to fund an International Academy in Latin America, serving as a bridge to the most talented and hardworking Latin artists of Showbiz, connecting them directly to high-quality Hollywood/European projects and educational journeys to enhance, improve, and specialize a diverse and exclusive pool of Latin artists deserving of international exposure. Dedicated to mentoring new actors and guiding them through the intricacies of showbiz, Massimo founded Massimo Wines, LLC, and its sister company, Massimo Wines Productions, an international production company headquartered in Los Angeles, Rome, Paris, Milan, and Zagreb.
