Ines Trocchia: From a Town of 3,000 to Playboy’s Inside Cover

Ines Trocchia has said she grew up in a town of about 3,000 people, where telling anyone you wanted to be in Playboy would get you laughed at. In December 2025 Playboy named her the Inside Cover winner of its Great Playmate Search, almost a decade after she appeared on the cover of Playboy Portugal.

Ines Trocchia is an Italian model, television presenter and actress from the Naples area who built her following through magazines, sports television and Instagram. Belloria found no adult-film credits for her, so she is covered here as a Playboy model and not as a performer. This profile separates what Playboy and Trocchia say about themselves from what independent outlets such as Maxim and Libero report, and it flags where sources disagree. It contains no explicit description and does not link to any paid platform.

Source note: Belloria could not open Instagram directly. Statements that come only from Playboy, from Trocchia’s own interviews or from FHM’s own award are labelled as such. Birth details and some career dates rest on Wikipedia and Italian media, which Belloria could not check against a primary source.

Who Is Ines Trocchia?

Maxim introduced her in 2024 as an accomplished Italian model and television host whose first movie role came in Parthenope, a fantasy drama directed by Paolo Sorrentino. Her modelling work runs from Italian men’s magazines to a Vogue Mexico jewelry cover, and her television work centres on football. Playboy’s own December 2025 article says millions of fans follow her on Instagram as she moves between the United States and Milan. That is a Playboy statement, not a verified follower count.

How Old Is Ines Trocchia?

Ines Trocchia's exact birth date is unconfirmed. Wikipedia lists 22 December 1994 in Nola, and Marie Claire Serbia also says December 1994 but places her birth in Naples. Belloria treats 1994 as the birth year and the exact day as unconfirmed, which would make her 31 if December 1994 is right.

Early Life and Background

DiLei and Wikipedia place her birth in Nola, and Wikipedia adds that she was raised in Sperone. In a 2017 interview with Libero she said she had just finished scientific high school when a designer from Campania contacted her on Facebook about a casting. Her first thought, she said, was that she was not a model, but she went, with her mother beside her. Sources disagree on when she moved to Milan: Wikipedia and DiLei say at 19, while Marie Claire Serbia says at 18.

Playboy quotes her describing her hometown as about 3,000 people and a place where dreaming of Playboy would have drawn laughter. That is her own description and has not been independently measured. She is also a well-known Inter supporter, a fact Libero and Italian outlets mention often.

Career

Modelling and magazine covers

Wikipedia lists early campaigns for Zuiki, Alcott and Chateau d’Ax, and a 2016 hair-care deal with Cotril. Italian outlets say she reached the Italian editions of Maxim and GQ in her early twenties. In the 2017 Libero interview she credited foreign magazines for her rise, naming FHM in Spain and Singapore, and said she had appeared several times in Playboy, in the Romanian and Slovak editions and on the cover of the Portuguese one. Playboy dates that Portuguese cover to October 2017.

Maxim has also written that she appeared on the cover of Maxim Australia. In December 2023 FHM France named her its Breakout Supermodel of the Year, an award from the magazine itself. In July 2024 Vogue Mexico’s jewelry edition, Vogue Joyas, put her on its cover, according to Vogue Mexico as cited by Wikipedia.

Italian television

Her television career began in 2016 on Sportitalia’s Calciomercato show. In August 2017 she joined Rai Sport as a face of its transfer-market coverage on Rai 2, a role Wikipedia says she held for two seasons. Later appearances include Tiki Taka on Italia 1 in 2018, a guest spot on Canale 5’s Pomeriggio Cinque and, in 2025, the Rai 2 late-night show Paradise: la finestra sullo showbiz. She has told Marie Claire Serbia that she owes much of her Instagram popularity to Italian television.

Parthenope

In July 2024 Maxim reported that she was making her silver-screen debut in Parthenope alongside Gary Oldman and Stefania Sandrelli, with the film due on 24 October 2024. Trocchia told Maxim she had worked in television but never in cinema. Maxim does not name her role, and Belloria found no independent source that does.

Major Work and Notable Projects

Current Projects and Latest Updates

Playboy announced on 16 December 2025 that Trocchia had been chosen as the Inside Cover winner of its Great Playmate Search. Complex later reported that she and overall winner Lauren Summer would appear in Playboy’s Spring 2026 print edition, due on newsstands in March 2026. Playboy’s article is promotional and says she returns to the magazine in 2026. Belloria could not confirm the printed issue’s contents. No newer verified project turned up after the Spring 2026 issue.

Social Media Stats

Checked 12 October 2026. Instagram blocks automated access, so no follower count could be verified. Playboy’s own article says millions of fans follow her there. Aggregator sites quote figures above two million, but they give no dates or sources. Social media figures are approximate and may change.

Personal Life

Playboy says she fosters shelter dogs and donates to rescue services, and it describes her dog, Bruno, as her usual travel companion. She told Playboy she wants a partner who brings out the best in her. Belloria does not repeat relationship rumours from tabloid and aggregator sites.
