Lando Buzzanca «today is a shrunken, emaciated, toothless man and will weigh more or less 50 kilos . His leg is as big as my arm.'
Fulvio Tomaselli, the doctor who treated the 87-year-old actor who was hospitalized for two weeks at the Gemelli Polyclinic after a fall from his wheelchair in the RSA where he had been for about a year , denounces it.
«Today of Lando Buzzanca remains 10% of what it was. In all senses. He was 1.87 meters tall and weighed 83 kilos. Until 2021 he had a perfect physique, beyond his wit and sympathy ». But today the situation is completely different.
«I haven't been able to see Lando since April 21 of last year – writes Tomaselli on social media – But working for 50 years in health care I can get indirect information about his health conditions. And when they told me how he got to Gemini two weeks ago, I couldn't believe it . Then yesterday Francesca (Della Valle, his partner, ed) managed to visit him and I had confirmation of it: he was dozing, he ate with difficulty, he had bedsores and he muttered to her: "Take me away"».
There had been another fall on April 21, 2021: «Lando, the night after the second dose of the anti-Covid vaccine was administered at the Auditorium, fell ill and fell. It was found the following morning on the floor by the maid . I don't want to say that the cause is the vaccine, maybe it would have fallen anyway. But after an ambulance was called, Lando was taken to the Santo Spirito hospital in Rome. I called to make myself available since I knew his medical history, but since then I have not been able to get in touch with him".
It was 2014 «when he sought me out to solve vascular problems. I am an angiologist and he wanted to do prevention, which is why he had also done speech therapy. Lando suffered from aphasia, meaning he couldn't pronounce words . And this is not the best for an actor. It's like losing a hand for a pianist. But I've never seen signs of senile dementia in him, just as I've never seen any medical certificate attesting to it. So much so that despite the attempts, Buzzanca has not been banned by the guardianship judge, but has a support administrator. Then the fact that the law that instituted it, the 6 of 2004, should be abolished, also to save Nando, is another matter".
