Staller was nicknamed "Cicciolina".In 1983 the duo founded the model agency Diva Futura.Moana Pozzi was another source of popularity for Schicchi; Pozzi was the face of Schicchi's "Partito dell'Amore" (Love Party), a party that served parody of other Italian political parties: in 1990, the Love Party was unable to cross over the minimum limit for admission into the lowest Chamber, yet it still amassed a significant number of votes for Pozzi.Éva Henger was also discovered by Schicchi and later became his wife in 1994.
