Making already wonderful movie experiences just that much better, these handsome Italian guys are in some great Italian films that you can watch NOW.
Alessandro Borghi is on the top of the list and the one to really watch for. If you haven’t yet seen him in Suburra, DO IT.
In ancient Rome Suburra was a crowded lower-class area and a notorious red-light district near the Esquiline Hills but for the purposes of this film, it’s a symbol of purported crime, dirty politics, a not-so-holy Vatican in modern Rome. If you love a thrilling, grisly crime story, this one’s for you.
Borghi plays Numero Otto (Number 8), the “prince” of the Ostian underworld, and you can look for him in Italy’s submission for the foreign film Oscar, Non Essere Cattivo, another great film that should be coming soon to American theaters.
Feel like some binge watching? If you haven’t watched Lorenzo Richelmy in the HBO series Marco Polo, you are missing out. Lorenzo plays young Marco Polo and another good-looking guy, Pierfrancesco Favino plays his father.
As the saying goes, Pierfrancesco Favino and Alessandro Gassman aren’t getting older, they’re getting better.
Pierfrancesco, you can see him in Suburra, Marco Polo, and a bunch of English language films like Ron Howard’s Rush.
Gassman was absolutely amazing as the rich, spoiled lawyer with the problem child in Ivano De Matteo’s I Nostri Ragazzi (The Dinner).
A really good guy playing a bad boy in the just recently released in the USA, Anime Nere (Black Souls), Giuseppe Fumo seriously impresses in his first acting job. Fumo plays Leo, the son with ambitions to follow his uncles into crime instead of his father’s straight and narrow. His father, played by Fabrizio Ferracane, isn’t bad looking either.

Last but not least, the guy on the list every year, Riccardo Scamarcio. You can actually catch him in a movie that’s in the American theaters right now, Burnt, with Bradley Cooper.
