In the 1980s, in the Agrigento area, the destinies of magistrate Rosario Livatino and a group of young stiddari, who grew up in poverty and attracted to crime as a way of redemption, intersected. Livatino fights the mafia power by attacking its assets, economic interests and roots in the territory, while the stiddari advance in the province, gaining space and consensus. In a narrative structure that opposes law and violence, justice and oppression, “Livatino the judge and his murderers” tells the story, the new TV miniseries – a Rai Fiction – Goldenart Production – Rai Com co-production directed by Michele Placido, broadcast tonight and tomorrow at 9.30 pm for the first time on Rai 1 and on RaiPlay.
A fiction that speaks Messina, given that there will be three actors from our city. Starting with Giuseppe De Domenico, the actor who plays judge Livatino. Also at his side are Nino Frassica (Livatino’s father) and Ninni Bruschetta.
Who is Giuseppe De Domenico
Giuseppe De Domenico was born in Messina on 26 January 1993 and is an actor. Despite being the son of two physicists, he understood almost immediately that he wanted to turn his passion for acting into a job, which is why he made a decision that might have seemed courageous at the time: he moved to Rome at a very young age in 2012 to study at the European Union Academy of Theater and Cinema. This allowed him to specialize in dramatic art, which was undoubtedly his favorite genre, studying, among others, alongside a professional of the caliber of Giancarlo Giannini. This was followed by graduating from the Scuola del Teatro Stabile in Genoa in 2016, one of the most prestigious, an activity which he was however able to combine with his first experiences. In fact, starting from 2013 he began working in the theater. In 2017 he appeared in “Now it’s my turn”, a film which cast him in the role of Manfredi Borsellino. Also that year he starred in a short film entitled “A Game at the End of the World”, while in 2018 he achieved his first notoriety with Goldfish, a TV series in which he played Giovanni. Also that year he appeared in “Euforia”, while in 2019 he played Stefano La Piana in ZeroZeroZero. In 2021 he starred in John Fox, in 2022 in Bang Bang Baby playing Rocco Cosentino and in 2024 it was the turn of Jarno ja mina and Vermiglio, a film in which he played Pietro Riso, enjoying success. Then, in 2025, he was chosen to play “Raffaele Sollecito” in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
