After arriving in Morocco, Love Is Blind: Italy stars Giorgia and Giovanni discussed various topics. He carried her into their villa, and they explored the surroundings.

Giovanni confessed that touching Giorgia was a bit awkward at first. It was because he was trying to put a voice to a face.

"I spent a lot of time listening to her. Now I have to spend time looking at her. So it's a mix of awkwardness and discovery, and this is both beautiful and delicate," confessed Giovanni.

Giorgia also enjoyed the cozy villa. She shared that such surroundings would help them create a sense of connection and intimacy. The two joked about Giovanni fitting on the bed and Giorgia sleeping in the kitchen.

Later, the two sat down and talked about their experience of knowing each other.

"I really appreciate the fact that he is an extremely unique person. And he's very...eccentric. Let's put it that way," she shared.

Love Is Blind: Italy star Giovanni talked about his childhood, family, and other things. He told her that he grew up "very Catholic." He noted that with a certain environment, individuals grow up believing that sexuality is linked to procreation. Listening to him, Giorgia asked him whether it was any different for him.

"No, that's not its only purpose," responded Giovanni.

She was relieved to learn that and noted that otherwise it would have been a rough start. He added that it would have been a very religious way of looking at one's life.

Love Is Blind: Italy star Giorgia asked whether he was not religious. Giovanni revealed that he was a spiritual person. However, he noted that he no longer defined himself as a Catholic.

"I...I'm not that religious, but the thing I like about Giovanni is that he forces me to consider different points of view," confessed Giorgia.

Giovanni opened up about growing up in a big family. That was what he wanted to have in his life. She confessed that it was something she was looking to have in a partner. She didn't want to have a "dull" person. She didn't want a partner to pamper her. Because if that were to happen, she wouldn't feel attracted to them.
