The Italian hunk has previously hailed the legendary front man Freddie – who passed away just over a year after Giovanni was born – as an ‘inspiration’.
He told reporters in 2020: “One of my biggest idols is Freddie Mercury.
I’m going to be what I was born to be – a performer.
“He could do everything, and he had such power and incredible energy on stage.
“Unfortunately, I never got to see him live. But I watch all the clips of him on YouTube and he is just incredible, honestly.
“Just unbelievable energy.”
