Biography
Roberto Saviano is an Italian writer, journalist, and screenwriter whose work exposing organized crime has defined his career and shaped his survival. Born 22 September 1979, Saviano gained international recognition through his book Gomorrah and investigative articles that document the economic reality and business operations of the Camorra crime syndicate in Italy. His writing earned him a dangerous reputation: after publicly denouncing the Casalesi clan during a demonstration in Casal di Principe in 2006, he received direct death threats and was placed under a strict police protection protocol that remains active since 13 October 2006. Despite the security restrictions, Saviano has maintained a prolific international journalism career, regularly contributing to major publications including l'Espresso, la Repubblica, and The Post Internazionale in Italy, while also writing for The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time, El País, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, Expressen, The Times, and The Guardian. His work has earned critical praise from figures like Umberto Eco and established him as a leading voice in crime reporting and literary journalism. As a Virgo born in 1979, Saviano embodies the sign's commitment to detail and truth-seeking, traits essential to his investigative methodology. Screenwriters and journalists employ both narrative craft and factual rigor—skills Saviano has deployed to transform crime reporting into literature.
