The Italian Global Series celebrates the ten years of Rocco Schiavone, one of the most beloved and representative series in contemporary Italian television drama.
Based on the novels by Antonio Manzini and produced by Cross Productions in collaboration with Rai Fiction, the series debuted in 2016, winning over audiences and critics thanks to an original and unconventional protagonist. A Roman deputy police commissioner transferred to Aosta for disciplinary reasons, Rocco Schiavone is a complex, ironic, and disillusioned character, capable of moving between police investigations and personal affairs.
Over the years, the series has maintained a strong narrative identity, becoming one of the most recognizable and highly regarded titles in Italian television fiction.
At the heart of its success is Marco Giallini, one of the most appreciated actors in Italian cinema and television.
He gradually built his artistic reputation after a long journey through theatre and supporting roles in film and television, later establishing himself through performances that highlighted his intensity, irony, and authenticity.
Throughout his career, he has worked with important Italian directors and received numerous awards, establishing himself as one of the most popular faces in Italian audiovisual production. With Rocco Schiavone, he has brought to life one of the most iconic characters in contemporary Italian television.
The event will bring together Marco Giallini, Antonio Manzini, Rosario Rinaldo (Cross Productions), and Ivan Carlei (Rai Fiction) to retrace the history of the series and explore its origins, character development, and evolution within the audiovisual landscape.
During the evening, Marco Giallini will receive the Maximo Excellence Award, while Antonio Manzini will be honored with the Maximo Celebration Award.
