Gianni Morandi: the accident last year
The accident, which could have had far more serious outcomes, occurred in his home on March 11, 2021. The 77-year-old singer lost his balance and fell into the fire while he was burning the brush in the garden. And he himself had told of having “been lucky”, because “I saved my life. When you fall into a hole while pushing into a log that you think is resisting, and you find yourself in the middle of the embers, with the flames around, it is a terrible thing. “
Burns on 15% of the body
Rescued and admitted to hospital, he was then admitted to the center for burns at the Bufalini hospital in Cesena with burns “on 15% of the body: severe burns in both hands, knees, a little in the buttock, then a burn in the back and ear. The pain is so great and when they change the bandages they fall asleep ». But if the other burns had turned out to be superficial, those of greater severity turned out to be precisely those on the hands: the left and, to a much greater extent, the right.
The support of fans from all over the world
And during the weeks of his hospitalization, Morandi had said that he had received comfort and support from fans from all over the world, explaining that it was really helping him a lot “the affection of the people. Incredible stuff: messages from all over the world, even from Russia and America. Everything arrives: drawings, books, chocolates, Easter eggs ».

But now, after a year and a half, it’s finally over, and for the singer it’s time for a liberating cry.
