Maurizio De Giovanni
Writer and screenwriter
Born in 1958 in Naples, where he lives and works, he likes to define himself viscerally as a “fan” of his city. He is the author of the novels that have as protagonist the commissioner Ricciardi, active in Naples in the thirties. After “Il metodo del Coccodrillo” (Mondadori 2012; Einaudi Freestyle 2016; Scerbanenco Prize), with “I Bastardi di Pizzofalcone” (2013) started a new contemporary cycle (published by Einaudi Stile Libero), which follows the events of a Neapolitan investigative team. Many of his novels have been translated into English, Spanish and Catalan, German and French. His works have given rise to three television series: “I Bastardi di Pizzofalcone” (2017), “Mina Settembre” and “Il Commissario Ricciardi” (2021). He was a guest of the Liberevento Cultural Festival in 2023 with the book “Sorelle. Una storia di Sara” (Ed. Rizzoli 2023).
