Bio from Wikipedia:

Ettore Majorana (Italian: [ˈɛttore majoˈraːna]; born 1906;) was an Italian theoretical physicist who worked on neutrino masses. He disappeared suddenly under mysterious circumstances while going by ship from Palermo to Naples. The Majorana equation and Majorana fermions are named after him. In 2006, the Majorana Prize was established in his memory.

if you can find it "I Ragazzi di via Panisperna"[0] is a good movie about the "Via Panisperna Boys", the group of physicist led by Fermi of which Majorana was a member (the movie is mostly focused on the relation between Fermi and Majorana).
