Adamo Angelo Ruggiero (born December 14, 1986), better known as Adamo Ruggiero, is a Canadian  actor. He is  Italian by his parents' side, and he has a brother named Adriano. Ruggiero was born in Mississauga, Ontario.

Ruggiero became famous when he was chosen to play Marco in the Canadian television hit program Degrassi:The Next Generation, in 2002.

Contrary to most other actors in the series, Ruggiero had no previous show business experience before he got the chance to act in the Degrassi series.

Ruggiero joined Degrassi in the show's second season. That same year (2002, when Ruggiero began working on the show), American rights to Degrassi: The Next Generation were bought by American television company Abc, which, in turn, decided to air the series on its teenage oriented channel, The N. The show became a hit in the United States as well, helping Ruggiero gain some fame there as well.
