Son of Francesco Moscato and Concetta Turturiello, he was born in the Spanish quarters of Naples, in the eighteenth-century Palazzo Scampagnato. After attending the "Antonio Genovesi" classical high school in Naples, he graduated in philosophy at the Federico II University of Naples,^[1] obtaining a qualification in Human Sciences and History, with a thesis on the relationships between the political movements of sexual liberation and psychoanalysis. From 1975 to 1977 he taught philosophy and history in high schools in Naples and Oristano. In 1980 he began his activity in the theater which brought him to the attention of critics and the public as an actor, author and director, placing himself among the leaders of the new Neapolitan dramaturgy. He held artistic direction positions for the Teatro Mercadante-Stabile of Naples ^[2] in the years 2003–2006, for the Festival Internazionale di Teatro-Benevento Città Spettacolo^[3] in the years 2007–2009; since 1990 he was the artistic director of the "Enzo Moscato theater company".^[4] He held courses for the master's degree in theater writing at the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples in the academic years 2005–2006, 2007–2008, 2009–2010. He conducted courses and workshops in dramaturgy and theatrical writing at the University of Salerno in Fisciano near Salerno,^[5] at the Naples Study Center on Southern, Neapolitan and European theatre, and other institutions; he held seminars and in-depth meetings on the "Theatre of Enzo Moscato" in various Italian and European theaters and universities. In May 2016 he participated in the thirteenth edition of the FIT-Festival Internacional de Teatro, the largest theatrical event in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, with the representation of two of his works: Toledo suite and Compleanno. During this Brazilian tour he held, again in Belo Horizonte, a Lectio Magistralis entitled "Vocal Desnudamento" at the Faculty of Letters of the Federal University of Minas Gerais,^[6] and a conference at the Academia Mineira de Letras^[7] from title "Drama contemporâneo italiano - Degolarratos", in which he presented to the Brazilian public the contents of his book (translated into Portuguese, with the title Degolarratos, by the playwright and actress Dr. Anita Mosca) as well as the theater work of the same name, Scannasurice. Moscato also recorded four musical CDs as a chansonnier-revisitor of the Neapolitan and international singing universe.

Moscato died in Naples on 13 January 2024, at the age of 75.^[8]
