The billboard, 20 feet high, features an image of Gilberti and a call-out for a female, marriage-minded partner who also enjoys karaoke. In the two weeks since the billboard was installed, he has received over 400 calls and 50 emails, although many of these inquiries have been from people looking to gain something from him financially, which he is not interested in entertaining.

He mentioned that he is looking for someone with a slim build but does not have a specific preference for looks. Gilberti emphasized that he is open-minded and willing to move anywhere in the U.S. or even to Europe if it means finding the right person. He mentioned that he is retired and has a retirement income, despite not looking or feeling his age, and is ready to explore new opportunities for love.

He highlighted that being a good listener and open-minded are some of the qualities he can bring to a potential relationship. Gilberti also noted that he is willing to go to the U.K. if he feels a strong connection with someone there but emphasized that the most important factor is finding someone who is genuine and sincere in their intentions.
Gilberti expressed his willingness to go to great lengths to find love, including going to Europe if necessary, as long as the connection feels genuine and sincere. He clarified that he is not interested in entertaining relationships with individuals who are focused solely on financial gain. Despite the challenges of dating at an older age, Gilberti remains hopeful and open to new possibilities, emphasizing that he is someone who is looking for true love rather than fame or financial gain.
As he continues his search for love, Gilberti remains committed to finding a genuine connection with someone who shares his values of loyalty, honesty, and sincerity. He is uninterested in relationships based on financial gain and is open to exploring opportunities for love no matter where they may lead.
