Pietro Boselli is what happens when science and sex appeal collide in the most divine way. This Italian heartthrob—better known as the “world’s sexiest math teacher” after his student’s now-iconic photo of him went viral in 2014—is more than just a pretty face. He’s the ultimate fantasy for anyone who appreciates a perfect blend of brains, brawn, and, let’s be real, hotness that could turn any calculus problem into a wet dream.

Before we even get to the part where he broke the internet with his ridiculously good looks, let’s talk about his background: this man is a child model for Armani (yes, that’s right) and decided to put his modeling career on pause to get a PhD in mechanical engineering at University College London. I mean, who’s gonna solve equations and break hearts at the same time? Pietro Boselli, that’s who.

After becoming a viral sensation, he didn’t just stroll back into modeling—he dominated it, working with big names like Abercrombie & Fitch and Equinox. But when it comes to this beachside shoot? He’s doing the most, and honestly, it’s making us do the least—we’re all sweating just looking at him.
Boselli and his Wood
Let’s talk about these photos. If muscles had a dictionary entry, it would just say “Pietro Boselli”—each one more defined than the lines on a textbook page. But it’s not just his body that has us gagging. It’s the way he’s flexing that jawline and locking eyes with the camera like he knows we can’t look away.
Honestly, when he stares through those palm trees like he’s trying to seduce the sun itself? That’s it. Game over. You’ve just melted into a puddle. And in case you missed it—he just posted these photos of him and his wood…and no, not just any wood. That’s right—he’s literally holding a piece of wood, just to drive us wild with even more metaphorical possibilities. We’re not sure whether he’s trying to build a house or just shatter our hearts, but either way, we’re here for it.
And that pose—standing tall, drenched in sweat (we see you, summer glow), gripping that weathered piece of wood like it’s some metaphor for how much we want to grip… well, you know. It’s pure strength. It’s pure power. And let’s be honest: it’s the kind of strength that makes us weak in the knees.
Pietro’s working angles better than the geometry class he probably taught, and every inch of him is a visual invitation to get thirsty. That torso? A whole 10 out of 10. That gaze? A whole heartbreaker. He’s not just showing us his body; he’s putting on a masterclass in how to make everyone want you without even trying.
So let’s recap: Pietro Boselli isn’t just a model or a math genius; he’s a whole damn mood. From his chiseled abs to the power in his pose to the way he effortlessly makes you want to dive into those deep brown eyes and never come up for air—he’s leaving us parched. And let’s be honest, gay community, we’re not just thirsty. We’re dying of thirst.
These photos? Proof that some equations are worth solving, and Boselli is the answer.
