Salvatore Striano

Salvatore Striano has known the hardships of the detention home as a juvenile offender, and after that many years behind bars in Rebibbia. Striano became involved in theatre while being mentored by Fabio Cavalli. Free, thanks to a 2006 pardon, Striano started an acting career with Cavalli, and after that with Emanuela Giordano and Umberto Orsini, who gave him an important part in Shakespeare's The Tempest. He made his movie debut in Gomorra by Matteo Garrone, and since has worked with Abel Ferrara, Marco Risi, Stefano Incerti, and in various television series. To take on the role of Brutus, Striano returned for several weeks, now as an actor, to the same place where he once was incarcerated.
