I had an emergency tumor removal. The surgery was delicate, but it went very well and was curative. I feared the worst, but thank God I'm fine now.

Five Star Movement leader Giuseppe Conte said this in an interview with Corriere della Sera, recalling that he had to cancel several events across Italy and "even skip May Day" due to the intervention. He emphasized that he appreciated the solidarity "from so many colleagues in the opposition, but also from the government and the media," as well as "from my political community."

"A few hours ago," the former prime minister said, "the histological test confirmed that it was a benign tumor, which allows me to return to my previous life without any consequences. These have been difficult days, with life changing in a second. I want to thank Olivia, my son, and my family, who have always been by my side. I thank the medical team who have cared for me, and my political community. Everyone has rallied around me, filling me with love."
