The court heard how Manuali, a 59-year-old binman, drugged and raped three women on separate occasions.
He filmed two of them without their knowledge and later shared the videos in a chat with two of his friends.
His crimes took place in Capranica, Mazzano Romano, and Alatri, Italy, between September 2022 and January 2023.
The court heard how the binman lured his victims on social media and later invited them to meet in person.
He has been dubbed the “Keanu Reeves of Riano” because he allegedly used his resemblance to the Hollywood heartthrob to seduce them.
The Viterbo prosecutor’s office said he slipped benzodiazepines into the women’s drinks before instigating them to “perform and endure sexual acts”.
Manuali first came under investigation in 2023 after a 48-year-old woman went to A&E after a blurry night with him.
At least seven women have reported him to date, among them a mother and daughter.
He is alleged to have drugged both and raped the latter, as reported by Need To Know.
He was under house arrest when his trial took place.
He had been sent to prison on remand but was granted home detention after being beaten up by some inmates.
His lawyer is maintaining that his “relationships were consensual”.
As well as collecting rubbish, Manuali appeared as an extra in the popular TV series “Mameli”.
The court in Viterbo also ordered him to pay €26,000 (£21,700) in compensation yesterday (14 Oct)
