Early life and career
Iervolino was born in 1987 in Cassino, in the province of Lazio. He was raised in Italy. Due to family problems in the household, he left home at the age of 15, to work in a company in Northern Italy, where he learned production. The same year, he came back to his home town to produce his first film. The next year, he produced his first movie, with an old kind of crowd funding, by asking people for small investments of around 50 Euros.
The movie failed to distribute it in cinemas. However, he distributed the movie through Cine School Day initiative, a program he launched. The initiative involved adding a film into the school curriculum. Students, during school time, on payment of a reduced-price ticket, could go to the cinema in the morning and watch a film about social issues.
Two years later, he was the co-executive producer with Luciano Martino for The Merchant of Venice, and subsequently worked as a co-producer with him on multiple movies. In the beginning on Iervolino's career, he acted in two movies that he produced, Dopoquellanotte, Prigioniero di un Segreto. However subsequently stopped acting in movies.
