From Cosplay to Controller: How One Italian Creator Built Her Gaming Empire
Gaming has been Giulia Forleo's world since before she could even read properly. Known to her thousands of followers as Allerendys, this Italian content creator from Puglia has carved out her own unique space in the competitive landscape of Twitch streaming. What started as a passion project has evolved into a thriving community where she can, in her own words, "say strange things and share my passion with chat."
Allerendys didn't take the typical path to streaming success. Before she ever turned on a camera for Twitch, she was already deep in creative pursuits as a cosplayer and special effects makeup artist. This artistic foundation shows in her approach to content creation, where she seamlessly blends competitive gaming with more lighthearted entertainment. Her expertise particularly shines in League of Legends, where she's become one of the most recognizable faces in Italy's gaming community, though she also streams other titles like Hollow Knight.
The diversity of her interests sets Allerendys apart from many streamers who stick to one niche. Beyond gaming, she's passionate about fitness, makeup, anime, manga, and animals - interests that naturally weave into her streaming content. This authentic multifaceted approach resonates with viewers who see her as more than just another gamer. She built her streaming setup through hard work and study, creating something entirely her own rather than following a predetermined formula.
Her dedication has paid off in measurable ways. With 39,146 followers and Twitch Partner status, Allerendys consistently draws an average of around 100+ viewers per stream. Her all-time peak of 2,068 viewers came in February 2022, showing her ability to capture significant attention when the moment strikes. As the 316th ranked Italian channel on the platform, she's positioned herself as a notable voice in Italy's streaming landscape while maintaining the intimate community feel that makes Twitch special.
What makes Allerendys genuinely compelling isn't just her gaming skills or creative background - it's how she's created what she calls her "safe place" on Twitch. Part of the DNSTY collective of Italian creators, she represents a generation of streamers who understand that authentic connection trumps flashy production values. Her streams feel like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at video games, someone who can discuss the latest anime episode just as easily as she can clutch a ranked match.
