Struck by an illness last night, Pippo Franco was hospitalized.
The 81-year-old actor, comedian and presenter probably had a transient ischemic attack (Tia) which is now being resolved: he is in fairly good health in a bed at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome.
Pippo Franco, a native of the capital, has been one of the main stand-up comedians and presenters of Italian TV since the seventies.
