Biography
Alessandro Fricano is an Italian born stage and screen actor from Bagheria (Sicily). Emotionally captivated as a child by watching Cinema Paradiso by his country-fellow Academy Award winner Giuseppe Tornatore, he quickly developed an interest in acting.

His drama studies also included one academic year in England, at Rose Bruford College. He took part in a number of stage productions in Spanish and English, working with professionals such as Vicente Genovés, Antonio Diaz Zamora, Lola Lopez, Sam Rumbelow, Simon Usher.
Alessandro made his feature film debut as the lead role in Libera Me (2015), a dramatic psychological thriller about domestic violence - it was awarded Best Feature Film at the Los Angeles Cine Fest and selected in numerous film festivals around the world. Since then, he has been playing in different stage and film projects, most recently as a policeman in the 1980s in the nationally televised RAI docu-fiction Maxi (2018) directed by Graziano Conversano.
Alessandro is passionate and always looking to develop as an artist and human being.
