Marco Bocci on his illness
In 2018 Marco Bocci suffered from erpetic encephalitisa sort of herpes on the brain that caused him important memory problems. Problems from which, in part, he still suffers today. “One part of the memory has returned, the other is lost forever. I can even see a film five times, without knowing that I have already seen it. At first it was hard, then I learned to live with it”, confessed the actor, explaining how much the disease has changed him. Today Bocci appreciates everything to the fullest, and enjoys the present without plans or plans.
Marco Bocci had also spoken about his memory problems to Vanity Fair. His notebooks are full of notes, and so are his cell phone notes. Although the biggest problem remains faces. No longer able to associate faces with names, he pretends to always know everyone, going so far as to speak in an intimate and affectionate way even to those he doesn’t know. When he has to study a play, however, he takes his time. Because, if before he needed three weeks, now he needs four months. A condition that today, after struggles and suffering, he has learned to accept.
