Tadzio

Tadzio is very attractive, and at fifteen, he already attracts the attention of many people, even adults. He has sharp features, smooth skin, and a slender build. He has wavy, shoulder-length honey-colored hair and blue eyes. At times, he resembles a painting rather than an ordinary boy.

Tadzio is introduced as a fifteen-year-old boy, born in 1955, with a very handsome appearance, who came to Venice on vacation with his family—four sisters, mother, and grandmother. From the outside, he may seem indifferent and even a little cold, but in reality, he's quite cheerful and kind, especially when playing on the beach with his friends. He's polite and modest around strangers, but this doesn't last long once you get to know him better. He's Swiss by nationality and was born in Sweden.
