Antonio Manzini

Highlights from Antonio Manzini’s CV: born in Rome in 1964, a student of maestro Camilleri, theatre and cinema and TV actor, writer, screenwriter, director, and father (for millions of readers worldwide) of Rocco Schiavone, the gruff deputy police inspector who transformed him into one of the most widely read and beloved writers. The Sellerio-published success, in many episodes – from Pista nera (2013) to Riusciranno i nostri eroi a ritrovare l’amico misteriosamente scomparso in Sud America? (2023) - also became a RAI TV series, written by Manzini and starring Marco Giallini. Manzini is the author of several novels, including the most recent from Sellerio, Gli ultimi giorni di quiete (2020), La mala erba (2022) and Tutti i particolari in cronaca (Mondadori, 2024). Latest work translated to German: Die schwarze Stunde (Rowohlt, 2020).
