He is the nephew of film producer
Dino De Laurentiis and first cousin once removed of chef
Giada De Laurentiis. De Laurentiis serves on the board of directors of the National Italian American Foundation. In 1995, he was a member of the jury at the
19th Moscow International Film Festival. After Napoli went bankrupt in 2004 and were relegated to
Serie C1, the third division of Italian football, De Laurentiis bought the club with the ambition of bringing them back up the divisions whilst ensuring financial stability. After two promotions in three years, Napoli were back in
Serie A. They spent the first few years in mid-table, and in the
2010–11 season qualified for the
UEFA Champions League. Napoli spent the 2010s competing at the top of the table and in European football. The club went on to win the
scudetto, the Serie A championship, in the
2022–23 and
2024–25 seasons. == Filmography ==
