Fortuna Serlino: A Cinematic Journey from Naples to Hollywood
Early Life and Theatrical BeginningsBorn in 1971 on the outskirts of Naples, Italy, Fortuna Serlino's family lineage traces back to humble farming roots. However, Serlino's destiny was destined to take a different path.
At the tender age of 17, he made his theatrical debut, followed by a bold leap to London at 22. There, he worked as a waiter until a call from Italy summoned him back home for a theatrical production.
Film and Television Breakthrough
Serlino's cinematic debut came in 2003 with the miniseries "Caso di coscienza." His breakthrough role occurred in 2008 with Matteo Garrone's "Gomorrah," an adaptation of Roberto Saviano's best-selling novel exposing the notorious Camorra crime syndicate.
"Gomorrah": A Life-Changing Portrayal
As Pietro Savastano, the ruthless patriarch of a powerful Camorra clan in "Gomorrah," Serlino's performance propelled him to international recognition. Savastano's power and brutality were a stark contrast to Serlino's own gentle nature, highlighting his remarkable acting range.

Following "Gomorrah," Serlino continued to explore diverse roles, including Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi in the television series "Hannibal." His versatility extended beyond Italian productions, as he starred in international projects such as the Netflix series "Suburra."

Serlino resides in Naples with his partner, Antonella, an editor. They share a deep love for travel, literature, music, and their beloved dog, Michelangelo.
