Le Donatella at Verissimo, her mother’s illness

Guests of Silvia Toffanin, the TV twins talked about themselves in a long interview, talking about the illness that struck their mother and remembering their father, who passed away last year: «They were very delicate weeks. Just before Christmas we noticed that mum couldn’t speak well and we got worried. Giulia called the ambulance immediately and they went to hospital. We thought it was her memory loss, but the nurse looked into her eyes and told her that she needed emergency surgery for an aneurysm with brain hemorrhage. She’s fine now, she’s in rehab, it takes a long time, but she was really tough. The operation lasted seven hours, then the next day she fortunately woke up and spent a week in intensive care and then others in the ward for checks. She says that her father saved her”, Silvia and Giulia Provvedi told Silvia Toffanin. «The 48 hours following the operation are very delicate. There is anxiety about waiting for the post-operative awakening, understanding how he wakes up and then still waiting for 48 hours. They have been complex days. We looked at the ceiling hoping for good news. Our guardian angel was dad because he protected her,” she added Giulia Provvedithrough tears.

The death of the father

Then there is space for the story of their father’s death, experienced live by his daughters during a video call: «Dad had been battling an illness for several years and was responding well to treatment. Unfortunately, while we were on a video call he had a heart attack and it was a very serious shock. Fortunately we are very close and we have a wonderful family and a beautiful little girl who is lifting our spirits”
