Giuseppe Valerio Fioravanti, commonly known as "Giusva," is an Italian former terrorist who, alongside Francesca Mambro, played a prominent role in the far-right group Nuclei Armati Rivoluzionari (Armed Revolutionary Nuclei, or NAR). Before his involvement in extremism, Fioravanti had a successful career as a child actor, becoming Italy's most celebrated young star during his early teenage years.
His father worked as a television presenter. In the 1960s, Fioravanti gained widespread fame through the popular series "La famiglia Benvenuti," in which Enrico Maria Salerno and Valeria Valeri portrayed his on-screen parents. He made his film debut at age nine in the Spaghetti Western "Cjamango" (1967). His final acting appearance came in 1975 with "Grazie... Nonna" (Thank You Grandma), a film about a boy's loss of virginity.
Fioravanti's legacy remains deeply controversial, defined by both his early celebrity as a child actor and his later notoriety as a leading figure in one of Italy's most violent far-right terrorist organizations during the Years of Lead.
