Vittorio Sgarbi admitted to intensive care at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome
Vittorio Sgarbi , 74, is hospitalized in intensive care at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.
No official statement has been released so far. However, Evelina's daughter's lawyer, Lorenzo Iacobbi, has issued a statement addressing the situation. He stated that the art critic's deterioration had been foreseeable for some time, citing Evelina's own pleas for help. Here's what the statement says.
"Tragic and predicted outcome": Sgarbi hospitalized, a note from his daughter Evelina's lawyer.
Vittorio Sgarbi is in intensive care, this is the note from Lorenzo Iacobbi, Evelina Sgarbi's lawyer: " The hospitalization is not a sudden event, but the tragic and foretold epilogue of an irresponsible management of the pathologies that have afflicted the professor for some time.
Evelina, his daughter, has been asking for help for over a year, reporting what was happening to her father. This was compounded by forced and incessant summer promotion and participation in events throughout Italy in which he was involved, ensuring his physical presence to the public. In the statement, Iacobbi also lists everything he claims Sgarbi was forced to endure: "Constant travel, sudden changes in temperature, heat, air conditioning, and devastating physical stress imposed on a man whose health was already severely compromised and visibly compromised. These serious conditions are extensively documented and confirmed by official medical records, which, with great effort and commitment, Evelina finally obtained after a year." On the subject of depression: " This is anything but depression induced by newspaper investigations and news programs! It's too easy to identify scapegoats that have nothing to do with the complex clinical picture of Vittorio Sgarbi, who suffers from far more serious illnesses that precede depression, which is merely a consequence of physical decline and not the cause. ” Then on the reactions received by Evelina: “ When the girl raised her voice to shout that she feared for her father's life, the response from the press and television talk shows was shameful: insults, derision, personal attacks . She was used as a target by those who were only concerned with protecting 'the Sgarbi character' and ensuring the continuation of the business linked to his public figure. Today, while many should simply remain silent, Evelina is there, next to her father's bed, hoping that her father will recover and that he will finally and truly be put in a position to receive adequate care. All those who in this long year have insulted, mocked, and hindered her while she was trying solely to save her father's life should today do only one thing: apologize to Evelina.”
