Gherardo "Barù" Gaetani Dell'Aquila D'Aragona was a finalist on Grande Fratello VIP 6.
Barù entered the House on Day 99, and he quickly became a fan favorite among the newer entries thanks to his blunt yet aloof demeanor, which many considered a breath of fresh air. He developed friendships with Davide Silvestri and Soleil Sorge, as well as conflicts with Delia Duran and Nathaly Caldonazzo.
What truly made him become a fan favorite, however, was his relationship with Jessica Selassié. The two had a flirt in which Jessica seemed extremely engrossed, while Barù alternated moments of warm emotions in appreciating Jessica as a person to moments of coldness when he would criticize her strategy in the game and state he would never want to date her outside of the House. Nevertheless, a big portion of the public became very passionate about the duo, forming a fandom called 'Jerù' whose hashtag would take over Twitter trends during each live show. The support helped Barù win multiple public votes and reach a spot in the final, where through a mechanism of luck he was safe until the Final 3 public vote.
At that point, the 'Jerù' fandom decided to focus their votes on making Jessica win, and Barù received the least votes to win among himself, Jessica and Davide, placing 3rd overall.
