Robert de Niro, a master for Ermenegildo Zegna
by GQ 
We are what we have lived. The scars and wrinkles that the road has left on our skin. The result of the experience turned into a legacy. An example of this is the actor Robert de Niro. His face, his voice and his gestures have made him an inimitable actor. He needs no introduction, his career speaks for himself. This is not the case, however, with the young promise McCaul Lombardi, who became known thanks to 'American Honey', although she has a good guide.

Both actors embark, along with creative director Alessandro Sartori and filmmaker Francesco Carrozzini, in Ermenegildo Zegna's new 'Defining Moments' campaign. Four short films that will delve into their defining moments. De Niro discusses his mentors, his philosophy of taking risks, what draws him to a role – as well as what drives him away from it – and the city in his heart. Lombardi naturally respects the maestro – visibly impressed to be in his company – but is also willing to share his knowledge and experience, with which De Niro sometimes identifies. All this with a style full of natural elegance and a bold character, since the garments in the collection worn by both protagonists have been chosen by themselves.
This initial short film represents a step towards a new dimension of the firm and its community, with which it intends to communicate by connecting emotionally and not just materially. You can discover exclusively in GQ the first part of this adventure that will continue very soon.
