Biography

Amato has worked in cinema, television and theatre. He is famous for his numerous participations in television series such as La squadra, Il Grande Torino, L'uomo sbagliato, L'ultimo padrino, Crimini e Il coraggio di Angela.[1] [2] [3] [4]

He is also the author of novels, including The Witness of 2009 (finalist for the Bancarella Prize). Amato also writes for cabaret, theatre and cinema.[5]

Political activity

During the regional elections campaign 2010, he was a candidate for regional councillor for the province of Naples, obtaining 1,659 votes and not being elected.[6]

Subsequently, he joined the Five Star Movement and in the 2022 Italian general election he was a candidate for the Chamber of Deputies in the single-member constituency Campania 1 – 07 (Torre del Greco), being elected with 34.3% (equal to 51,089 votes) ahead of Annarita Patriarca of the centre-right (33.99%) and Sandro Ruotolo of the centre-left (21.79%).[7]

Political views

On his Facebook profile, dealing with foreign policy, he strongly criticized the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyj and the President of the United States Joe Biden; from an internal point of view, however, he expressed himself polemically against Giuseppe Conte, Luigi Di Maio and Rocco Casalino, as well as, in 2014, against the 5-Star Movement itself, which prevented the actor from running as a candidate on their lists due to the previous experience, albeit as an independent, in the lists of Italia dei Valori, arriving at defining the discipline of the M5S "Ku Klux Klan rules", while confirming his vote for training.[8] Furthermore, in 2015, again on Facebook, he harshly attacked politicians who opposed cutting annuities.[9]
