Besides, playing the role of 'Paolo Canessa' in five episodes of the crime drama television mini-series, "Il mostro di Firenze," in 2009, his many other television credits include, playing the role of 'Edmondo Dantes' in six episodes of the television mini-series, "Il conto Montecristo," in 1997, and playing the role of 'Ettore Luxardo' in the episode entitled, "Merry Christmas," of the crime drama television series, "Un caso di coscienza," which originally aired on December 20, 2009. His last role was playing the role of 'Padre di Irene' in the film drama, "Dark Love" (2010). The film which was directed and written by Antonio Capuano, and which also starred Irene de Angelis, Gabriele Agrio, and Luise Ranieri, tells the story of which is set in contemporary Naples, Italy. Dark Love focuses on the consequences of the brutal rape of a young woman by three teenage boys. Ciro is the only boy who shows remorse (he confesses his role, leading to recriminations from his fellow assailants), and part of the film is devoted to his experiences in an offshore juvenile prison. Simultaneously, the film follows the faltering efforts of the victim, Irene, to put her life back together, continue studying for university, and behave with some semblance of normality with her boyfriend and family. However, Ciro starts writing letters from prison to Irene, who eventually begins to read them. The two stories have a marked difference in tone. Ciro's experiences are unsurprisingly gritty and occasionally violent, while Irene, in a much more meditative depiction, is shown going about everyday life while still disturbed and alienated by what she has been through. The interweaving of the two stories is skillfully handled, the use of Naples, Italy, as a setting is evocative, and the performances of the young protagonists are a little short of astonishing. Director Antonio Capuano has created an understated, challenging, and meditative film that avoids either cheap moralizing or simplistic resolution. For his work as an actor, film director, film Producer, film Editor, composer, cinematographer, and screenwriter, he was also nominated or won several honors including being a winner of the Golden Sacher Award for Best First Feature (Migliore Opera Prima) "Voci d'Europa" (1989), at the Golden Sacher Awards, Italy in 1990, being nominated for a Prize of the City of Torino for Best Italian Film, "Danilo" (1990), at the Torino International Festival of Young Cinema in 1990, being nominated for Prize of the City of Torino for Best Italian Documentary Film, "Tre donne in Europa" (2004), being nominated for Prize of the City of Torino for Best Italian Documentary Film, "C'è un posto in Italia" (2005), and being nominated for City of Torino for Best Italian Documentary Film, "Talsi: Confini d'Europa #4" (2007), all at the Torino Film Festival which was held in Torino, Italy, in 2004, 2005, and 2007.
