New York, NY (February 14, 2008) – It has been said that we only need two things in life: Something to look forward to and someone to love. On Sunday, March 2nd at 10pm ET/PT MTV presents “That’s Amore” the brand new romantic comedy-reality elimination series featuring Domenico Nesci, the Italian native from the hit series “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila”. Domenico may have gone home broken-hearted, but this Italian bachelor hasn’t given up on love. He’s still looking for the perfect match, and MTV is going to help him find her! Viewers will get a special sneak peek at the new series on Sunday, February 24th at 10pm ET/PT MTV with “Domenico’s Passport to Love.”
To get to know Domenico, you’ve really got to understand where he comes from, and since he can’t take us all to Italy, he’ll bring the flavor to us. On February 24th at 10pm ET/PT, “Domenico’s Passport to Love” is his personal look back at his favorite moments from “A Shot at Love,” the show that put him on the American map, as well as a love letter to his home country. In this half-hour special, Domenico will tell his fans what he was really thinking during his time on “A Shot at Love,” and why he’s such a great catch for anyone who gets his unique sense of humor.
Domenico Nesci was one of the fan’s favorite contestants from the first season of “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila” which was the highest-rated series telecast on MTV for 2007. When Domenico strutted out in his tiny green and red spandex swimsuit, he won all of our hearts. Fans will get to experience more of their Italian bachelor with the comedic romantic elimination series “That’s Amore.”
Born and raised in Milano, Italy, Domenico is looking for his very own American sweetheart to bring home to his ‘mamma.’ From southern belles to big city socialites to Colorado snowboarders, MTV has hand-selected 15 girls who will get the chance to go on a romantic adventure of a lifetime with Domenico. From pillow-fighting contests to spaghetti-wrestling matches, these girls will battle to the finish to win his heart.
