Matteo Farneti Revealed as Former Face of Kinder Chocolate

The Italian model confirms he appeared on the packaging from 2004 to 2019, addressing impersonation claims and contractual silence.

Matteo Farneti, a 31-year-old Italian from Bologna, has publicly confirmed he was the face of Kinder Chocolate from 2004 to 2019.
Ferrero, the company behind Kinder Chocolate, has officially verified Farneti’s claim in a statement provided to the press.
Farneti decided to come forward after others falsely claimed to be the child featured on the packaging, causing personal and family distress.
He cited a contractual agreement with Ferrero that previously prohibited him from speaking publicly about his role.
Farneti, now a model and sports management student, reflected on both the opportunities and challenges the role brought to his life.
