An Italian actor known for his role in the acclaimed film "Gomorrah" (2008), he gained recognition for his portrayal of a young boy caught in the web of the Neapolitan mafia. His naturalistic performance was widely praised, and the film won multiple awards, including the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. Despite the film's success, he largely stepped away from acting afterward, maintaining a low profile and choosing to live a life away from the public eye.
