Stefano De Martino is riding the crest of the wave. The young presenter has recently signed a four-year maxi contract with RAI but in his past there is a dramatic event
That it was capable of unleashing an avalanche of controversy was almost a given. The four-year agreement between RAI and Stefano Martinocertified in black and white by a millionaire contract, has split public opinion in two and triggered a series of heavy accusations against the leaders of Viale Mazzini.
State TV executives have identified the former dancer as “Friends” the most suitable profile to replace a big piece like Amadeuswho decided to leave the public broadcaster to land on Channel Nine owned by the Discovery group.
To contribute to De Martino’s popularity, now more than ten years ago, it was the controversial and tormented relationship with Belen Rodriguez. A story that has seen ups and downs and from which little Thiago was born, the couple’s first and only child.
And it goes back to the very beginning of their love story an event that could have had tragic consequences. And the one who told it recently, not without a modicum of sarcasm and irony, is the same former protagonist of “Friends”.
Stefano De Martino, the motorcycle accident with Belen: the story is surprising
While they were speeding on De Martino’s motorbike through the streets of Rome, the couple were victims of a serious accident which only by pure chance did not have devastating consequences. “I was with Belen on the motorbike, she was sitting behind me. Just as I accelerated we had a violent collision with a Ford Transit“.
The story-monologue continues: “The back of this van has two doors, each of which has glass, one of which was smashed by my face. I still remember the thud and the wallpaper because I stepped into it. I regain consciousness, I take off my helmet and think: Belen, what a fool!“.
Stefano De Martino, the rush to the hospital: the doctors were all for her
Of the two, he was the one who suffered the most damage: “They hospitalized me in code red, I had a fractured nasal septum, fifty stitches on my left arm and a torn tendon. But the entire medical and paramedical staff of the hospital was all around Belen. There was only one trainee nurse with me”.
Luckily everything went well and after a few days the couple was able to return to everyday life. The memory of those moments, however, is still alive in the memory of the young presenter and today he can afford the luxury of telling what happened jokingly about it.
