Luca Fiocca Presents His New Book at Nhero in Milan: A Night of Wit and Seduction

A lively atmosphere and an engaged audience set the scene last night at Nhero in Milan, where Luca Fiocca unveiled his latest book, If It’s a Dove, It Will Return to Water. To Each Era Its Art, to the Art of Approach Its Freedom. The intriguing title hints at the book’s playful yet insightful take on the art of seduction and human interaction.

With his sharp wit and engaging storytelling, Fiocca captivated the audience as he shared the inspiration behind his essay. The book stems from a survey depicting the Latin male as fragile and timid, a notion he previously debated during an appearance on The Maurizio Costanzo Show. His experiences and reflections have now evolved into a lighthearted yet meaningful exploration of the importance of authentic connections.

Through anecdotes and humor, the evening provided an entertaining yet thoughtful perspective on the dynamics of courtship and social interaction. Fiocca emphasized that the book is not merely a semi-serious guide to mastering seduction techniques but also a broader reflection on human communication in a tech-dominated world. And it’s not just men who can benefit from his insights—women, he explained, can also gain valuable knowledge, decoding male tactics and crafting their own counter-strategies.

The presentation concluded with enthusiastic applause and audience questions, underscoring the timeless relevance of the topic. If seduction’s greatest secret is freedom, as the book’s subtitle suggests, then last night, the Nhero crowd got a taste of just that.

Mad Mood Milano 2025: sustainability, craftsmanship and innovation in fashion
