He is currently living and studying in Milan, Italy. He is enrolled in an economics course at the University Bocconi. The Italian celebrity magazines, such as Diva e Donna and Chi have been printing occasional updates on his social life in Milan, showing pictures of him with the likes of socialite Olympia Scarry and models Caroline Winberg and Fernanda Lessa. The Spy column in the Daily Telegraph has said that he leads a very opulent lifestyle with a GBP 2,000-per-month apartment in Milan's trendy Brera district. It is believed that he will use his economics degree towards learning the business of his father's companies that are, in the meantime and since his father's death, being managed by Pierre's uncle Marco Casiraghi.
