Luigi Sciamanna (1955) is an Italian actor known for his discreet yet impactful presence in contemporary art-house cinema. A recurring figure in the cinematic landscape of recent decades, he has established significant collaborations with prominent directors.

He is particularly appreciated for his roles in Nanni Moretti's films, notably *The Son's Room* (2001), where he plays the attending physician, and *We Have a Pope* (2011), in the role of a cardinal. He has also worked with Paolo Virzì (*Human Capital*, 2014; *Like Crazy*, 2016) and Daniele Luchetti.

Sciamanna distinguishes himself through his portrayal of often ordinary characters, with a melancholic or subtly eccentric streak, such as professors, employees, or professionals, whom he sketches with humanity and a veiled irony. His acting style, measured and authentic, makes him a valued figure for his ability to bring depth even to supporting roles, significantly contributing to the atmosphere of the films he participates in.
