Sebastiano Pigazzi is curious what viewers think of the latest season of “And Just Like That.” As for what he thinks, well, he hasn’t seen it — only the first two episodes, which screened during the Season Three premiere in New York.

“The more I go on, the less I can watch myself in everything I do. I’m becoming one of ‘those’ actors,” says the 29-year-old actor, who stars in the “Sex and the City” reboot as Giuseppe, the Italian poet-lover of Hot Fellas bakery owner Anthony.  “Everything you do is immortalized and you’re just like, ‘oh — I should have done that.’ It becomes a little too nerve-wracking.”

Still, teasing what the second half of the season has in store for his character, Pigazzi offers a cryptic preview: “ Let’s say Giuseppe has some interesting fans in his life,” he says. “People that admire him and they have an interesting way of showing their admiration. This will make sense when the episode comes out.” And no, the admirer in question isn’t his onscreen mother — Patti LuPone — who has recently arrived in New York for an extended stay.

The actor is in Rome, visiting his real mother, on the heels of men’s fashion week, where he attended events for Tod’s and Brett Johnson. Offscreen, Pigazzi is the grandson of Italian comedic actor Bud Spencer, and his great-grandfather was Italian director Giuseppe Amato, known for producing Federico Fellini’s film “La Dolce Vita” and “Bicycle Thieves.” But growing up, “I wasn’t even aware of my grandfather’s fame or even my great-grandfather’s history at all,” says Pigazzi, adding that he was more captivated by the narrative of their experiences. “All these stories that my grandfather had of how he would travel and go one place to another, and these amazing things that happened on set.”

As for Pigazzi, one of his own memorable on-set moments from “And Just Like That” was from the end of Season Two, while shooting on location on 23rd Street in Chelsea. 

“We had these lights on us and it had that nice New York dramatic lighting. And that’s when it kinda hit me. I was like, wow — you’re shooting in the most iconic city, probably the most iconic show, and you went to school a couple blocks away,” he says. “I would’ve paid to get the chance to do this. And even this season, when we shot at the Met, somewhere I go whenever I get the chance to, but seeing it empty — I mean, it’s plenty of pinch-myself-moments.”

Pigazzi studied at NYU, but majored in government and political science while dabbling in acting during a semester of conservatory-style training through the Tisch school. Although he lived in New York briefly as a kid, he grew up mostly in Santa Monica, and returned to L.A. after graduation. Soon after, he was cast in Luca Guadagnino’s 2020 HBO series “We Are Who We Are,” which brought him to Europe. 

Despite his Italian lineage and onscreen presence, Pigazzi is American, and the Italian accent is part of the role. “ I sometimes have felt when people meet you, they sort of expect something; they expect a version of you. And then when you don’t exactly meet that version, you can sense it,” he says of reaction to discovering that he is not, in fact, Giuseppe in real life. “I try to just be myself as much as possible.”

Pigazzi recently finished shooting a film set in Portugal as the project’s lead, and will be back on-set to shoot another unannounced project in September. He also stars in Italian Amazon Prime film “Non è un paese per single,” which will be released this fall.

“ I fell in love with this job through film, so that’s sort of where my heart still lies,” he says, asked what projects he finds himself drawn toward. “But it always changes. When I got cast for ‘And Just Like That,’ it wasn’t on my radar that was even a possibility.”

Beyond the exposure that the role has given him, getting to work alongside the veteran “Sex and the City” cast has been a master class in career longevity.

“It’s rewarding to work with them and see what it’s like to be around people who have been doing this for a very long time,” he says. “I’m always looking to learn and suck in some of whatever they have that’s allowed them to be where they are for such a long time.”

“At the end of the day, it’s about that camaraderie: coming together, doing what you love together,” he adds.
