- Both represent women and men.
- Castdiva offers a paid photo book and course, so ask for the price before you agree.
Modeling work in Catania
Catania is Sicily's second-largest city, on the island's east coast. Our catalogue lists two agencies here. Castdiva Models Management has its office on Via Gabriele D'Annunzio; the agency has women's and men's boards and offers a photo book and a walking and posing course on its website. Model Media presents women's and men's divisions on its website.
A course or a photo shoot is a cost to you, not a job offer. Ask for the price in writing, ask whether representation depends on buying it, and compare with other agencies. Agencies by board are listed on the women and men pages.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For advertising and shoots in the region, a local agency fits. For fashion week work, pick a few agencies in Milan and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. Check on the agency's profile whether it charges applicants for photos, courses or registration; ask for the price in writing and compare it with other agencies. If you are pressed to pay or sign on the spot, say no: other warning signs are listed in the glossary entry on modeling scams.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Italy.
