Michela explained the reason they haven’t posted many photos of their baby boy since he was born in a previous PEP interview, citing this need for privacy as common practice in her home country, Italy.

After the baptism, their guests were treated to a magical reception, inspired by the classic book, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
