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.
