Libero De Rienzo was an acclaimed Italian actor, director, and screenwriter most famously known for his breakout role as the charismatic, wisecracking Bart in Stefano Sollima's 2001 cult film Santa Maradona, which earned him the Nastro d'Argento for Best Supporting Actor and established him as a fresh, intense talent in Italian independent cinema; he followed with strong performances in gritty dramas like Fortapàsc (2009) as a Camorra-affiliated youth and Sangue: La morte non esiste (2005), which he also directed and co-wrote, showcasing his versatility in raw, realistic portrayals of Naples-rooted stories. Born in Naples but raised in Rome after his mother's early death, he came from an artistic family (son of a filmmaker and nephew of Pino Daniele's bassist Gigi De Rienzo) and appeared in over 30 films and TV projects, often in supporting or character roles that highlighted his magnetic screen presence and Neapolitan roots. Surprisingly, despite initial reports of a heart attack at age 44 when found dead in his Rome home on July 15, 2021, toxicology tests later confirmed death from heroin overdose (with cocaine and anxiolytics present but not causative), leading to the arrest of a dealer charged with supplying the fatal dose and sparking renewed discussions about addiction in the Italian entertainment world.
