The longtime VIP agent has been at the Umberto I Hospital for two weeks following his stroke. Here's what he said after his hospitalization.

These are not easy days for longtime VIP agent Lele Mora, who has been hospitalized after suffering a sudden stroke. Mora was on a theater tour when the medical emergency occurred, and he was immediately taken to the hospital where he has been for two weeks. "They grabbed me by the hair," he revealed to Il Messaggero.

Lele Mora admitted to the hospital: emergency admission after a stroke.

He was supposed to return to Verona the following day to reunite with his family, but he was admitted to the Policlinico Umberto I Hospital in Rome. His daughter Diana and her other son, Mirko, joined him. Lele Mora suffered a stroke about two weeks ago, while he was on tour, as reported by the newspaper Il Messaggero, with which the former celebrity agent spoke and released some statements.

In the hospital, besides his daughter, is also Don Felice, a priest whom Mora met in Don Mazzi's Exodus community. Interviewed by the newspaper, Lele Mora revealed: "They saved me from death. If I'm still here, I owe it only to God," confirming that only the timely intervention of the doctors prevented the worst.

He revealed that he fell ill while he was in L'Aquila, performing at a theater. "I felt ill before going on stage. But I went on stage anyway out of respect for the audience who had paid for tickets; the show was sold out."

Lele Mora suffers a stroke: how the former VIP agent is doing

"On the train to the capital, I fainted. Then it was total darkness. I remained in intensive care at the Policlinico Umberto I for five days," said Lele Mora, confirming that the stroke struck him before his return to Verona. Mora's condition is good, but, as explained, the long rehabilitation process will take at least two months. Despite this, he considers himself lucky: "I know I've been lucky. I've faced many challenges in life, this is the most difficult." Lele Mora said he's ready to "fight," first and foremost "for the love I owe to my two children and grandchildren. I live for them." The former VIP agent hasn't spoken about his hospitalization until now: "My family and I agreed not to inform anyone." Mora, therefore, will have a period of complete rest, but also the need to return to Verona: "I need to be with my loved ones. I'm trying to get transferred to Verona, closer to my family. For now, I'm waiting; it's difficult to find a place in Veneto."
