He co-wrote it as well as directing (his debut), along with Leonardo Fasoli, Maddelena Ravagli, Francesco Giacchio and Giulia Forgione.
D'Amore got his break working with the theatre troupe of Toni Servillo, from La Grande Bellezza.
Directly following Gomorrah Season 3, we find out that Ciro really is Immortal, as Genna's bullet hasn't killed him. He's sent on a mission to work for Russians in Latvia, cross cut against his life when young, working with a disreputable crook Gianni Vastarella. Young Ciro is played by Giuseppe Aiello, called 'L'Immortale' because as a baby he was the only survivor of an earthquake that killed every one else in the building, who worships a young singer Martina Attanasio. (Fagin and the Artful Dodger, and Bill Sykes and his girl Nancy?)
Anyway, adult Ciro gains the respect of the local Italians, who help him when a shipment is stolen by warring Latvians.
I have to say this all works terrifically well, right down to the ending, which is pure bromance... Photographed by Guido Michelotti, edited by the indefatigable Patrizio Marone (who also cut Romanzo Criminale and Suburra, a Rome-set organized crime series for Netflix), music by Mokadelic.
