Roberto SavianoRoberto Saviano (Naples, September 22, 1979) is an Italian journalist, writer and essayist. In his writings, articles and in his book Gomorrah, his first novel, he uses literature and reportage to tell the economic, territorial and business reality of the Camorra and organized crime in general.
Since the first death threats in 2006 by the Camorra, denounced in his “exhibition” and in the Casal di Principe square during a demonstration for legality, Roberto Saviano has been subject to a strict protection protocol. Since October 13, 2006 he has been under surveillance. He has collaborated with many important Italian and international newspapers. He currently collaborates in Italy with L'espresso and La Repubblica, in the United States with the Washington Post, the New York Times and Time, in Spain with El Pais, in Germany with Die Zeit and Der Spiegel, in Sweden with Expressen and Great Britain with the Times. Because of his courageous positions, there was no shortage of calls not to leave him alone from important writers and cultural figures of the caliber of Umberto Eco. The Gomorrah case.
“It is my reader who has annoyed the criminal organizations, not me. My reader is what he doesn't want, that we are talking about it right now, that all the newspapers have talked about it, that books keep coming out, that documentaries keep being created, it's all this that I don't want, it's paying attention to them, to their names, above all to their business ”
(Roberto Saviano on his book “Gomorrah”)
“I know and I have proof. I know how economies originate and where they get their smell. The smell of affirmation and victory. I know what they get from profit. I know. and the truth of the word takes no prisoners because it devours everything and proves everything. And it need not prolong the presentation of evidence to the contrary or initiate investigations. Watch, weigh, observe, listen. You know. No convictions in any cage and witnesses don't recant. No one regrets. I know and I have proof. I know where the pages of economics manuals disappear, transforming their fractals into matter, things, iron, time and contracts. I know. The evidence is not hidden in any flash drive hidden in holes under the ground. I don't have compromising videos in hidden garages in inaccessible mountain villages. Nor do I have mimeographed secret service documents. The evidence is irrefutable because it is partial, filmed with irises, told with words and tempered with emotions bounced off iron and wood. I see, I feel, I look, I speak and thus I give testimony, an ugly word that can still have validity when it whispers: “It is false” in the ears of those who listen to the rhymed chants of the mechanisms of power ... . The truth is partial, after all, if it were reducible to an objective formula, it would be chemistry. I know this and I have proof. And so I tell the story. Of these truths”
(Roberto Saviano)
Saviano began “with a story imitating Tommaso Landolfi and sending it to Goffredo Fofi, who made him understand that, although he wrote very well for his age, he wrote ‘nonsense’. I saw on the stamp where you come from - he told him - Write about your parts.
Saviano owes a lot to writers like Fofi or Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, writers he defines as “fighters”, masters who use the pen as a weapon”.
In March 2006, the Mondadori publishing house published in the Strade Blu series his first novel Gomorra - Journey to the economic empire and dream of domination of the Camorra, a journey into the business and criminal world of the Camorra and the places where it was located. Born and lives: Campania, Naples, Casal di Principe, San Cipriano d'Aversa, the countryside of Aversa, places where the author grew up and where he introduces the reader to a new reality in the eyes of those who do not come from these places. . The book speaks of sumptuous villas of criminal bosses created in imitation of those of Hollywood, of fields full of toxic waste disposed of on behalf of half of Europe, of a population that not only conspires with this organized crime, but in fact protects and approves of the work; The author then tells us of a System (this is the real name by which he refers to the Camorra) that attracts new recruits who are not yet teenagers, making them believe that theirs is the only possible life choice, of child bosses convinced that the only way to die like a real man is to die killing[24], and of a criminal phenomenon influenced by media spectacularization, in which the bosses are inspired in their clothes and movements by movie stars.
As of August 2009, the book has sold over 2.5 million copies in Italy alone[25] and has been translated into 52 countries. In the rest of the world, Gomorrah has sold around 2 million copies. It is present in the best-seller rankings in Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, France, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Albania, Israel, Lebanon, Austria. A theater show was based on Gomorrah
on Gomorrah , which earned Saviano the 2008 Olimpici del Teatro as best author of Italian novels, and the film of the same name which won the prestigious Grand Special Jury Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival; in 2012 there was also a six-episode TV series in which Roberto Saviano collaborates as a consultant (as he also did for the theater show and the film); The series is produced by Sky Italia and directed by Stefano Sollima (already director of the TV version of Novela criminal) and is scheduled to be broadcast on Sky Cinema channels in autumn 2013.
In 2009 he won the Tonino Guerra award for best story at the Bif&st in Bari for the film Gomorrah by Matteo Garrone.
The success achieved by Saviano's book created several problems for the author: starting from threatening letters, silent phone calls but also and above all from a kind of environmental isolation.
During a demonstration for legality held on September 23, 2006 in Casal Di Principe, the writer denounced in the street the affairs of the heads of the Casalesi clan, Francesco Bidognetti, Francesco Schiavone (currently in prison) and the two regents, Antonio Iovine and Michele. Zagaria, addressing them in a heated tone (“You are not of this land! Stop being of this land!”) and inviting the population to revolt[1]. Due to the threats and intimidations he suffered, the then Minister of the Interior, Giuliano Amato, decided to assign him an escort for security reasons as of October 13, 2006 (Saviano was returning from Pordenone, where he had gone to promote the book Gomorrah).
On March 14, 2008, during the Spartacus trial, the lawyer of patrons Francesco Bidognetti and Antonio Iovine, Michele Santonastaso (assisted by his colleague Carmine D'Aniello), read before the president of the first section of the court of appeal Raimondo Romeres , a letter written jointly by patrons Francesco Bidognetti and Antonio Iovine (both in prison). The letter contained a request for transfer of the trial due to legitimate suspicions generated by the influences that Roberto Saviano, Rosaria Capacchione and the prosecutor Raffaele Cantone would have had over the judges[30]. Following the letter, the Ministry of the Interior decided to reinforce the writer's security measures, increasing the escort from three to five men.
On October 14, 2008, news arrived of a possible attempt on Roberto Saviano's life. A Milan DIA police inspector informed the district anti-mafia directorate that he had learned, through the repentant Carmine Schiavone (cousin of boss Francesco Schiavone, known as Sandokan), of a plan, now in the operational phase, to kill the writer and the men of the Christmas escort with a spectacular attack on the Rome-Naples highway in the Capaci style. However, Carmine Schiavone, questioned by the magistrates, denied being aware of a plan by Casalesi to kill Saviano, provoking the writer's immediate response: “It is obvious that he says so; if he said so, he would implicitly have to admit that he still had relations with organized crime”[33]. The prosecutor in charge of the investigation finally requested and obtained a dismissal after the news turned out to be unfounded. Carmine Schiavone denied knowledge of the attack, but confirmed that Saviano was sentenced to death by the Casalesi clan.
In October 2008, Roberto Saviano decided to leave Italy, “at least for a while and then we'll see”, also as a result of threats, confirmed by information and statements from collaborators of justice who revealed the plan to eliminate him on the part of Casalesi clan.

“I think I'm entitled to a break. I thought, at the time, that giving in to the temptation to retreat was not a very good idea and, above all, not smart. I thought it was very stupid - as well as indecent - to give up on oneself, to let oneself be dominated by men of nothing, people who despise for what they think, for how they act, for how they live, for what lies in the most intimate of fibers but, at this moment, I see no reason to persist in living like that, a prisoner of myself, of my book, of my success. 'Fuck success. I want a life, that's all. I want a house. I want to fall in love, have a beer in public, go to the bookstore and pick out a book by reading the back cover. I want to walk, sunbathe, walk in the rain, meet my mother without fear and without scaring her. I want to be with my friends and be able to laugh and not have to talk about me, always about me as if I have a terminal illness and they are dealing with a boring but inevitable visit. Hell, I'm only twenty-eight! And I still want to write, write, write because that is my passion and my resistance and, to write, I need to sink my hands into reality, rub it, smell it and sniff it and not live, as if sterilized in a hyperbaric chamber, inside a police station - today here, tomorrow two hundred kilometers away - moved like a package without knowing what has happened or could happen. In a state of perpetual confusion and precariousness that prevents me from thinking, reflecting, concentrating, whatever I have to do. Sometimes I catch myself thinking these words: I want my life back. I repeat them one by one, silently, to myself.”
(Roberto Saviano)

Roberto Saviano (Nápoles, 22 de septiembre de 1979) es un periodista, escritor y ensayista italiano. En sus escritos, artículos y en su libro Gomorra, su primera novela, utiliza la literatura y el reportaje para contar la realidad económica, territorial y empresarial de la Camorra y del crimen organizado en general.
Desde las primeras amenazas de muerte en 2006 por parte de la Camorra, denunciadas en su "exposición" y en la plaza del Casal di Principe durante una manifestación por la legalidad, Roberto Saviano está sometido a un estricto protocolo de protección. Desde el 13 de octubre de 2006 vive bajo vigilancia. Son numerosas sus colaboraciones con importantes periódicos italianos e internacionales. Actualmente colabora en Italia con L'espresso y La Repubblica, en Estados Unidos con el Washington Post, el New York Times y Time, en España con El País, en Alemania con Die Zeit y Der Spiegel, en Suecia con Expressen y Great Gran Bretaña con el Times. Debido a sus valientes posiciones, no faltaron los llamamientos para no dejarlo en paz por parte de importantes escritores y figuras culturales del calibre de Umberto Eco. El caso Gomorra.
« Es mi lector el que ha molestado a las organizaciones criminales, no soy yo. Mi lector es lo que no quiere, que estemos hablando de eso ahora mismo, que todos los periódicos hayan hablado de eso, que sigan saliendo libros, que se sigan creando documentales, es todo esto que no quiero, es prestarles atención, a sus nombres, sobre todo a sus negocios »
(Roberto Saviano sobre su libro "Gomorra")
"Lo sé y tengo pruebas. Sé cómo se originan las economías y de dónde obtienen su olor. El olor a afirmación y victoria. Sé lo que se obtiene de las ganancias. Lo sé. Y la verdad de la palabra no hace prisioneros porque todo lo devora y todo lo prueba. Y no tiene por qué prolongar la presentación de pruebas en contra ni iniciar investigaciones. Observar, pesar, observar, escuchar. Sabes. No condena en ninguna jaula y los testigos no se retractan. Nadie se arrepiente. Lo sé y tengo pruebas. Sé dónde desaparecen las páginas de los manuales de economía, transformando sus fractales en materia, cosas, hierro, tiempo y contratos. Lo sé. La evidencia no está escondida en ningún pendrive escondido en agujeros bajo tierra. No tengo vídeos comprometedores en garajes escondidos en pueblos montañosos inaccesibles. Tampoco tengo documentos mimeografiados del servicio secreto. La evidencia es irrefutable porque es parcial, filmada con los iris, contada con palabras y atemperada con las emociones rebotadas en hierros y maderas. Veo, siento, miro, hablo y así doy testimonio, una palabra fea que aún puede tener validez cuando susurra: "Es falso" al oído de quienes escuchan los cantos rimados de los mecanismos del poder. . La verdad es parcial, al fin y al cabo si fuera reducible a una fórmula objetiva sería la química. Lo sé y tengo pruebas. Y así cuento la historia. De estas verdades»
(Roberto Saviano)
Saviano comenzó «con un cuento imitando a Tommaso Landolfi y enviándoselo a Goffredo Fofi, quien le hizo comprender que, aunque escribía muy bien para su edad, escribía “tonterías”. Vi en el sello de dónde vienes - le dijo - Escribe sobre tus partes.
Saviano debe mucho a escritores como Fofi o Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, escritores a los que define como "luchadores", maestros que utilizan la pluma como arma".
En marzo de 2006, la editorial Mondadori publicó en la serie Strade Blu su primera novela Gomorra - Viaje al imperio económico y sueño de dominación de la Camorra, un viaje al mundo empresarial y criminal de la Camorra y los lugares donde se encontraba. Nace y vive: Campania, Nápoles, Casal di Principe, San Cipriano d'Aversa, la campiña de Aversa, lugares donde el autor creció y donde introduce al lector en una nueva realidad a los ojos de quienes no provienen de estos lugares. . El libro habla de suntuosas villas de jefes criminales creadas a imitación de las de Hollywood, de campos llenos de residuos tóxicos desechados por cuenta de media Europa, de una población que no sólo conspira con este crimen organizado, sino que, de hecho, protege y aprueba el trabajo; El autor nos habla luego de un Sistema (este es el verdadero nombre con el que se refiere a la Camorra) que atrae a nuevos reclutas que aún no son adolescentes, haciéndoles creer que la suya es la única opción de vida posible, de niños jefes convencidos de que el la única manera de morir como un hombre de verdad es morir matando[24], y de un fenómeno criminal influenciado por la espectacularización mediática, en el que los patrones se inspiran en sus vestimentas y movimientos en las estrellas de cine.
En agosto de 2009, el libro ha vendido más de 2,5 millones de copias sólo en Italia[25] y ha sido traducido a 52 países. En el resto del mundo, Gomorra ha vendido alrededor de 2 millones de copias. Está presente en los rankings de los más vendidos en Alemania, Holanda, Bélgica, España, Francia, Suecia, Finlandia, Lituania, Albania, Israel, Líbano, Austria. Un espectáculo de teatro se basó en Gomorra , que le valió a Saviano el Olimpici del Teatro 2008 como mejor autor de novedades italianas, y la película del mismo nombre que ganó el prestigioso Gran Premio Especial del Jurado en el Festival de Cine de Cannes; en 2012 también se llevó a cabo una serie de televisión de seis episodios en la que Roberto Saviano colabora como consultor (como también lo hizo para el espectáculo de teatro y la película); La serie está producida por Sky Italia y dirigida por Stefano Sollima (ya director de la versión televisiva de Novela criminal) y su emisión en las cadenas Sky Cinema está prevista para otoño de 2013.
En 2009 ganó el premio Tonino Guerra a la mejor historia en el Bif&st en Bari para la película Gomorra de Matteo Garrone.
El éxito alcanzado por el libro de Saviano creó varios problemas para el autor: empezando por las cartas amenazadoras, las llamadas telefónicas silenciosas pero también y sobre todo por una especie de aislamiento ambiental.
Durante una manifestación por la legalidad celebrada el 23 de septiembre de 2006 en Casal Di Principe, el escritor denunció en la calle los asuntos de los jefes del clan Casalesi, Francesco Bidognetti, Francesco Schiavone (actualmente en prisión) y de los dos regentes, Antonio Iovine y Michele. Zagaria, dirigiéndose a ellos en tono acalorado ("¡No sois de esta tierra! ¡Dejad de ser de esta tierra!") e invitando a la población a rebelarse[1]. Debido a las amenazas e intimidaciones que sufrió, el entonces ministro del Interior, Giuliano Amato, decidió asignarle una escolta por motivos de seguridad a partir del 13 de octubre de 2006 (Saviano regresaba de Pordenone, donde había ido a promocionar el libro Gomorra).
El 14 de marzo de 2008, durante el proceso Spartacus, el abogado de los patrones Francesco Bidognetti y Antonio Iovine, Michele Santonastaso (asistido por su colega Carmine D'Aniello), leyó ante el presidente de la primera sección del tribunal de apelación Raimondo Romeres , carta escrita conjuntamente por los patrones Francesco Bidognetti y Antonio Iovine (ambos en prisión). La carta contenía una solicitud de traslado del proceso debido a sospechas legítimas generadas por las influencias que Roberto Saviano, Rosaria Capacchione y el fiscal Raffaele Cantone habrían tenido sobre los jueces[30]. A raíz de la carta, el Ministerio del Interior decidió reforzar las medidas de seguridad del escritor, aumentando la escolta de tres a cinco hombres.
El 14 de octubre de 2008 llegó noticia de un posible atentado contra Roberto Saviano. Un inspector de policía de la DIA de Milán informó a la dirección antimafia del distrito que había tenido conocimiento, por medio del arrepentido Carmine Schiavone (primo del jefe Francesco Schiavone, conocido como Sandokan), de un plan, ahora en fase operativa, para matar al El escritor y los hombres de la escolta de Navidad con un espectacular ataque en la autopista Roma-Nápoles al estilo Capaci. Sin embargo, Carmine Schiavone, interrogado por los magistrados, negó estar al tanto de un plan de Casalesi para matar a Saviano, provocando la respuesta inmediata del escritor: "Es evidente que lo dice; si lo dijera, implícitamente tendría que admitir que todavía tenía relaciones con el crimen organizado"[33]. El fiscal encargado de la investigación finalmente solicitó y obtuvo el sobreseimiento después de que la noticia resultó infundada. Carmine Schiavone negó tener conocimiento del ataque, pero confirmó que Saviano fue condenado a muerte por el clan Casalesi.
En octubre de 2008, Roberto Saviano decidió abandonar Italia, "al menos por un tiempo y luego ya veremos", también a raíz de las amenazas, confirmadas por informaciones y declaraciones de colaboradores de la justicia que revelaron el plan para eliminarlo de parte de Casalesi. clan.
« Creo que tengo derecho a un descanso. Pensé, en ese momento, que ceder a la tentación de retroceder no era muy buena idea y, sobre todo, no era inteligente. Creí que era muy estúpido - además de indecente - renunciar a uno mismo, dejarse dominar por hombres de nada, personas que desprecian por lo que piensan, por cómo actúan, por cómo viven, por lo que hay en la más íntima de las fibras pero, en este momento, no veo ninguna razón para persistir en vivir así, prisionero de mí mismo, de mi libro, de mi éxito. 'A la mierda el éxito. Quiero una vida, eso es todo. Quiero una casa. Quiero enamorarme, tomar una cerveza en público, ir a la librería y elegir un libro leyendo la contraportada. Quiero caminar, tomar el sol, caminar bajo la lluvia, encontrarme con mi madre sin miedo y sin asustarla. Quiero estar con mis amigos y poder reírme y no tener que hablar de mí, siempre de mí como si tuviera una enfermedad terminal y ellos estuvieran lidiando con una visita aburrida pero inevitable. ¡Diablos, sólo tengo veintiocho años! Y todavía quiero escribir, escribir, escribir porque esa es mi pasión y mi resistencia y, para escribir, necesito hundir las manos en la realidad, frotarla, olerla y olerla y no vivir, como esterilizada en una cámara hiperbárica, dentro de una comisaría -hoy aquí, mañana a doscientos kilómetros- se movía como un paquete sin saber qué ha pasado o podría pasar. En un estado de perpetua confusión y precariedad que me impide pensar, reflexionar, concentrarme, sea cual sea la cosa que deba hacer. A veces me sorprendo pensando estas palabras: quiero recuperar mi vida. Me las repito una a una, en silencio, para mí. »
