Marco Romagnoli, spinning instructor, dies. He will donate his organs

FALCONARA He left home on Thursday to go to work. He planned to return in the afternoon and then go to Athlon, the Falconara gym where he had been leading spinning and toning courses for years. Romagnoli, however, never returned to his city, where his son, who turned 17 just yesterday, and his wife Monica were waiting for him. A cerebral hemorrhage struck him while he was in the car driven by a colleague with whom he reached the Abruzzo railway stations where he had cleaning and maintenance duties.

The news

He died yesterday in Teramo hospital, where he had arrived in desperate conditions. Falconarese, 57 years old, employee of a company that works for the railways, Marco Romagnoli was a person you couldn’t help but love: full of life, always smiling and empathetic, ready to help others. Those who knew him define him as “unique”. He had left with his colleague on Thursday for Teramo. They worked together but when they left in the car, Marco told his partner that he didn’t feel well and that he needed to rest. He fell asleep and when his colleague got back into the car he found him still dozing: he became suspicious and tried to shake him but he wasn’t responding. He called 112, requesting an ambulance.

The 118 operators found Romagnoli lifeless. He had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The doctors transported him to the Teramo hospital but since Thursday there have been no signs of recovery: Romagnoli stopped fighting yesterday and the family authorized the donation of his organs. Ugo Corinaldesi, owner of the Athlon gym since 1986, is devastated: «He has always worked with me in the gym – he says. He was the brother of my first partner. A splendid, brilliant and unmistakable person with his old red Range Rover or little dated 500. I encouraged him to enroll at the ISEF in Urbino and he graduated but then chose to work with the porters cooperative. I still can’t believe he’s no longer here. We all loved him.”
