(Los Angeles, CA / August 1, 2023) — “I studied Mining Engineering knowing porn was my future…” – so says legendary pornographer Maestro Claudio of his well-planned path over the past 28 years to the top of his game as a highly-respected and awarded adult film director/producer/writer/studio owner/performer – “…because if my dream didn’t work out, I knew I’d have a Plan B. And you always need a Plan B!”
The X-Rated maverick, who has always been instinctively driven to meet a formidable challenge, emerged from Italy’s University of Trieste with flights of fancy that dared drift beyond a life of ores and minerals. “I graduated in Engineering only because I thought it was the most difficult course of studies one could choose, but I never wanted to do it. I always dreamed of moving to the US with the goal of having a porn career in mind, and I made it happen.”
But this daring visionary’s journey didn’t stop there. Claudio’s boundless spirit also took to the skies, earning a commercial pilot license and ensuring no limit would ever hold him back. While others might settle for mediocrity, the Maestro’s heart belonged to the silver screen, as he rose above and beyond expectations with unbridled passion and creativity.
Seizing his destiny, Maestro Claudio took a bold leap into uncharted territory, crossing continents to California to chase his dreams. Two years later, the promise of adult film fame beckoned, and now, nearly three decades later, the Maestro heads up his own successful film studios, PervCity and DP Diva.
“It’s a tough world out there, and nothing worth having ever comes easily,” he says. “A solid education keeps you soaring above the ordinary, and I made the decision to earn a good degree as a way to please my family while finding my true calling without any doubts about my future. Having a safety net is important because life throws curveballs at you that you never saw coming.”

ABOUT MAESTRO CLAUDIO:
Maestro Claudio is an iconic adult film performer, producer and director with nearly 30 years of on-set experience under his belt. Originally from Trieste, Italy, Claudio started his career as a freelance engineer after graduating with a degree in Mining Engineering at the University of Trieste in 1984.
After obtaining his private pilot license, Claudio decided to move to the US to continue his pilot training. In 1993, he moved to Los Angeles and obtained his commercial, multiengine and instrument pilot licenses. But aviation wasn’t his only interest in LA: from a young age, Claudio had long dreamed of pursuing a career in the porn industry.
In 1995, Claudio’s dream finally came true and he started working in the adult business as a performer; his impressive gifts quickly sparked a buzz among the top studios in town, as well as legendary directors such as Paul Thomas, Gregory Dark and Tom Zupko. He soon expanded his professional repertoire to include cameraman, photographer, director and producer. Flying eventually became just a hobby for him – now unfortunately abandoned because of his tight work schedule.
Claudio now owns and runs his award-winning studios PervCity.com and DPdiva.com and, in partnership with Mick Blue, BAMvisions.com. Among his many accolades, he has earned the XRCO Award for ‘Best Director – Web’ in 2018 and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2019.
Maestro Claudio still performs onscreen occasionally, but only independent content with female performers for his and their personal OnlyFans platforms.
