00:00 Are they? Are they a couple?
00:02 People are still speculating about the romance, aren't they?
00:05 - Yeah. - If there is one...
00:06 We have a great, great relationship
00:09 and we are going to have...
00:12 - Oh, yeah, we are, we are. - We made a promise.
00:15 No, we made a promise.
00:16 No, no, no. So, we made a promise.
00:18 We had a little joke and we said,
00:21 "So, if we make it to the final..."
00:23 This was, like, weeks ago. We were just joking.
00:25 "If we make it to the final, why don't we get a tattoo?"
00:29 - Oh! - But it was just a joke.
00:31 - It was just a joke. - We didn't expect to get there.
00:34 And after, we said, "Oh, we are in the final.
00:36 "We have to keep the promise and make..."
00:38 It was a tattoo of the...
00:39 - Aubergine. - The aubergine.
00:41 Cos we are the aubergine team.
00:43 - So, it's going to be a little... - We have to understand where to...
00:46 But after, we turned the aubergine,
00:48 because, you know, we do the tattoo of the aubergine.
00:50 So, at the end, we decided that we do a B
00:53 with the body of the aubergine.
00:55 Like, this is something in between, yeah?
00:57 Because aubergine... No, the B is a resilient insect.
01:01 And it's also the symbol of Manchester.
01:03 - Yeah. - So, it makes sense all together.
01:04 But that is a symbol of our bond and our friendship.
01:06 What's the aubergine stand for?
01:08 Er, it's a really long story, but basically...
01:10 - Parmigiana. - We are holding our hands.
01:13 Vito loved parmigiana and I had never tried it.
01:16 - Oh, right. - Never tried parmigiana.
01:18 Aubergine, the main ingredient of parmigiana, for me, is a drama.
01:20 So, we spent one day in Nottorio just speaking about this.
01:23 - We actually did. - And at the end, we became the aubergine team.
