Marco Calvani on Being Part of a Queer Interracial Couple in ‘The Four Seasons’ as LGBTQ Rights Are ‘Again at Stake and in Danger’: ‘I Am Proud of Putting My Face Out There Like This’


Italy’s Marco Calvani on landing a big role in 'The Four Seasons' and playing half of a queer interracial couple as LGBTQ rights are 'at stake.'

Calvani, who was born and raised in the city of Prato, near Florence, trained as an actor in Tuscany when he was a teenager and has appeared in several Italian and international TV shows and films, including Tom Fontana’s series “Borgia” produced by Barry Levinson. Calvani then directed his first feature “High Tide,” a queer romance set in Provincetown that premiered in 2024 at SXSW and stars Marisa Tomei, James Bland and Brazilian actor Marco Pigossi, who is his husband. Below, Calvani tells Variety more about his role as Claude, “the only non-American in the group,” and why he’s proud of starring with Domingo as a queer interracial couple at a time “when LGBT rights are again at stake and in danger.”
