Is dead Clelio Jowlsa highly esteemed 78-year-old doctor and father of the actor Lino Guanciale. The news comes from local news. The Abruzzo newspapers and the Marsican communities announce the death of a man who for years was a point of reference for many. We read about a professional who has “left a profound mark not only for his professional competence, but also for the humanity with which he always dedicated himself to his patients”.
A doctor who left his mark
Reading the news, we discover that Clelio Guanciale represented that figure of a doctor who today seems to belong to another era: always available, attentive to people even before pathologies, capable of building relationships of trust that went well beyond the professional relationship. There are two cities in which he left his mark: Avezzano and Collelongo. In Avezzano he was known not only for his profession, but also for his youthful passion for football at a good level.
The relationship with Lino Guanciale and the choice not to be a doctor
Clelio’s story is linked to that of his son Lino Guancialewho had passed the medical test. The path seemed clear: father a doctor, son a doctor. Instead he chose literature and philosophy at Sapienza, then the Silvio D’Amico Academy of Dramatic Art. “My father wanted me to be a doctor, until one evening I found the courage to tell him that I wanted to become an actor. We discussed for two hours and in the end he told me: okay, tell me how I can help you.” Clelio was his son’s biggest fan, as the actor himself said during his interviews, he never missed a show of his son’s. Clelio also leaves another son, Giorgio, a psychotherapist by profession.
Pietro Sermonti: “I was a kind of misfit, they failed me 4 times. My father wanted me to be a footballer”

The funeral will be held tomorrow, December 31stat 2.30 pm in the church of San Rocco in Collelongo, the town of origin of the Guanciale family. An appointment on the eve of the new year that closes a painful 2025 for the actor from Abruzzo.
