Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Italy’ places love at the center of everything, focusing on emotional connection and communication instead of physical appearance, since participants don’t see each other before becoming engaged. In season 1, Elisa Vago and Alessandro Albero followed this same path with genuine excitement about where their ways could lead. Both worked to set aside their preconceived notions and allowed themselves to exist in a kind of protective bubble, and gave their relationship the space it needed to grow naturally and authentically.
Elisa and Alessandro Found It Difficult to Adjust in the Real-World
Elisa Vago was eager to find a partner with whom she could build the life she had always envisioned. At 30, she felt prepared to take the next big step toward having a family, and the moment she heard Alessandro Albero’s voice from the pod opposite hers, she felt an instant pull. Their connection was almost magical from the very beginning, but one thing that initially concerned Elisa was Alessandro’s age. At 26, he seemed a bit younger than what she had imagined for herself. However, as their conversations continued effortlessly, she discovered a strong sense of compatibility. When he spoke about losing his father, she realized that there was much more depth to him than she had perceived.
They often spent their time in the pods asking each other one question after another, which helped them see how naturally they matched. So when Alessandro proposed, Elisa had no hesitation in accepting and was convinced that he was the person she was meant to be with. The moment they saw each other for the first time, their eyes were full of the love they had confessed. Their new romance continued to blossom during the retreat, where they settled into each other’s company with ease and shared deep intimacy with each other. However, the romance and connection they had felt so strongly at the retreat faded far too quickly in the real world. The first sign of trouble came when Elisa went to check up on her dog, whom a friend had agreed to look after.
Elisa was upset because her friend had decided to rearrange her home while she was away, but Alessandro interpreted her reaction as rudeness and even remarked that she behaved that way with everyone. When he later met her friends, he brought up their first argument in a seemingly off-putting manner, driving some of them to feel as if he was complaining about her to them. What began as minor disagreements soon escalated into bigger conflicts between the couple, with everyday routines and habits becoming constant points of tension. Eventually, Elisa told him that she no longer felt they were compatible and that they were only hurting each other by continuing to be together. She walked out of their apartment, and he respected her decision. However, when he saw her getting close to Davide C. at a gathering, he felt as though she was the one acting immaturely.
Elisa and Alessandro Did Not Feel Compatible in Their Relationship
Elisa and Alessandro’s relationship began with intense passion. During the retreat, they appeared completely in sync and were drawn to each other’s energy, values, and the comfort they found in one another’s presence. For a while, it seemed as though the foundation they had built could withstand anything. But once they returned to their everyday lives, the chemistry that had seemed effortless in the controlled environment began to shift. In the real world, many of the traits they had admired in each other slowly turned into sources of tension.
Elisa, who valued emotional expression and clarity, often felt unheard or dismissed. Alessandro, meanwhile, interpreted some of her reactions as overly critical or confrontational. What started as small misunderstandings soon became regular bickering, leaving both feeling unappreciated. The effortless harmony they once shared was replaced by frustration and emotional distance. Despite their strong initial connection, they found themselves struggling to agree on even the simplest things. Daily habits, communication styles, and expectations about the future became sticking points. The more they tried to talk things through, the more disconnected they felt. Eventually, they realized that the relationship was bringing out their worst anxieties rather than supporting their best selves.
When they finally decided to part ways, the breakup was surprisingly gentle. Both acknowledged the effort the other had put into the relationship and apologized for the hurt that had built up between them. There was no dramatic fallout or resentment, and it was just an honest recognition that love alone was not enough to bridge their differences. As of now, Elisa and Alessandro are not together. Alessandro acknowledged that they could have tried harder, but Elisa said they had different realities that stood in the way of their finding a life together. Even though Elisa said that she put in more effort and Alessandra didn’t acknowledge it, the reunion allowed them to understand that there were discrepancies in the way they saw life. It was the best decision to walk away from the relationship.
