Tommaso Ragno

Tommaso Ragno is an italian actor. Tommaso Ragno, leading actor in Oscar nominated Italian film Vermiglio (2024), was born in Vieste, a coastal town in the province of Foggia, as the eldest of two children. His family, mainly from Apulia and on the grand-maternal side from ex-Yugoslavia, moved to Piacenza when he was two years old. Always having been very introverted, he spent a lot of time in solitude reading books and studying literature, planning on becoming a writer.

However, later he went on to study acting at the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Art in Milan. After having spent a part of his life living in Berlin, Ragno resides in Rome. In 1988, he debuted as a stage actor in the Greek tragedy La seconda generazione with a collection of pieces by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides directed by Mario Martone. Since the 1990s, he has worked repeatedly with Carlo Checci, whom he calls his "greatest teacher".
