Roberto Saviano (Italian: [roˈbɛrto saˈvjano]; born September 22, 1979) is an Italian writer and journalist.
In his writings, articles, television programs, and books he employs prose and news-reporting style to narrate the story of the Camorra (a powerful Neapolitan mafia-like organization), exposing its territory and business connections.
Since 2006, following the publication of his bestselling book Gomorrah (Gomorra in Italian), where he describes the clandestine particulars of the Camorra business, Saviano has been threatened by several Neapolitan "godfathers". The Italian Minister of the Interior has granted him a permanent police escort. Because of his courageous stance, he is considered a "national hero" by author-philosopher Umberto Eco. He lives at a secret location to avoid reprisal attacks.
Saviano was born in Naples on September 22, 1979. His father was Catholic while his mother was Jewish. He grew up in the Naples suburb Caserta. He graduated in philosophy at the University of Naples Federico II. His writing is influenced by anti-fascist thinkers such as Giustino Fortunato, Gaetano Salvemini and conservative authors such as Ernst Jünger, Ezra Pound, Louis Ferdinand Celine, and Carl Schmitt.
Saviano is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the Italian region Campania, located about 25 km northeast of Naples. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 15,114 and an area of 13.8 km².
Saviano borders the following municipalities: Nola, San Vitaliano, Scisciano, Somma Vesuviana.
The commune was created in 1867 through the merger of the former Sirico (thenceforth called Saviano) with Sant'Erasmo. It was part of the Terra di Lavoro province until 1927.
The name Robert is a Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic *χrōþi- "fame" and *berχta- "bright". Compare Old Dutch Robrecht and Old High German Hrodebert (a compound of hruod "fame, glory" and berht "bright"). It is also in use as a surname.
After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England in its Old French form Robert, where an Old English cognate form (Hrēodbēorht, Hrodberht, Hrēodbēorð, Hrœdbœrð, Hrœdberð) had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto.
Similar to the name, Richard, "Robert" is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic. It can be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name as well.
Robert, and also the name Joseph, were in the top 10 most given boys' names in the US for 47 years, from 1925 to 1972.
In Italy during the Second World War, the form of the name, Roberto, briefly acquired a new meaning derived from, and referring to the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis.

Roberto Saviano interviene a Masterclass e racconta il sistema "O'Sistema" Camorra da li alla sua creazione Gomorra. Un lungo dibattito sull'argomento dove si approfondiscono gli aspetti della sempre più radicata presenza di una Camorra ormai legalizzata pienamente integrata nel sistema legale, tanto da chiamarla O'Sistema, che ormai racchiude oltre a proprietà, attività e partecipazione di persone comuni nella attività di investimento una vera e propria struttura di multinazionale radicata nell'assetto finanziario dei paesi dove si insedia, la sua presenza non è solo all'interno del nostro paese ma come si è dimostrato è presente in diverse nazione europee ed extra unione. I business illegali come lo spaccio, l'estorsione, il gioco d'azzardo, la prostituzione e molto altro , riciclano i ...

‘I’m afraid of many things,’ the Italian journalist Roberto Saviano has said. ‘But dying isn’t one of them.’ As the author of the international bestseller 'Gomorrah', which exposed the workings of the Neapolitan crime syndicate the Camorra, Saviano faces the possibility of retribution every day. His book — which has sold 10 million copies around the world — earned Saviano a death sentence from the crime bosses he had exposed. For the past nine years, he has lived under constant armed guard, moving from one secret location to another. None of this has deterred him from waging war on organised crime with words as his only weapon. His reportage has helped secure life sentences for 16 mafia ringleaders. Roberto Saviano made a rare appearance in the UK when he came to the Intelligence Squared ...
Roberto Saviano vive da dieci anni protetto da una scorta. Perché raccontare va bene, ma puoi farlo solo a patto che le persone ti leggano poco e ti considerino pochissimo; puoi farlo se rimani in una cerchia ristretta, meglio se di intellettuali scelti. Se invece parli a tanti, e tanti ti leggono, rischi la vita. E Roberto Saviano rischia la vita da dieci anni per colpa di una delinquenza chiamata camorra, e per il silenzio di altri. Sono dieci anni che Roberto Saviano vive sotto scorta. Sono dieci anni che Roberto Saviano non può alzarsi e dire: "Guarda un po', ho finito lo zucchero, faccio un salto al supermercato e torno". Io ho intervistato Roberto Saviano per capire cosa significa essere da dieci anni nel mirino della mafia. Come vive lui, umanamente, questa situazione. Come l'ha...

Britain has been named the most corrupt country in the world, according to journalist and mafia expert Roberto Saviano. Saviano has spent more than a decade exposing the Italian Mafia’s criminal behavior and claims that, “It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not at the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital.” Saviano goes on to state that offshore tax havens, such as those in the Cayman Islands allow, “...access to criminal capital in Europe and the UK.” The UK is currently ranked 10th in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index as of 2015. Jo Ankier and Nik Zecevic take a closer look at Mr. Saviano’s accusations on the Lip News. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/roberto-saviano-britain-corrupt-mafia-hay-festival-a7054851.html ...
