TV presenter Franco di Mare, 68, suffering from terminal mesothelioma.

 

Has no English wiki page, but very famous in Italy, at least until some time ago.

Franco di Mare dead at 68.

I should have included him in my Deathlist Cup team...

@Mercarte

Your deathlist could be at 18 hits if you had also concidered the death of your No. 4 pick Wanda Półtawska on 24.10.2023.

http://dpseggi.altervista.org/DeathList/X2023.html

@Mercarte You seem to have not acknowledged Dabney Coleman's death on the 16th of last month on your list this year, which would take it to four hits. I just thought I would let you know.

Luciano Acquarone was born in Imperia and died at the age of 93 in the same place, known for his numerous world records in long-distance running in master athletics set over a period of 43 years, between 1972 and 2015, in categories M40 to M85.

Damn! Now that's what I call an A-lister! He would have completely overshadowed Chomsky's death had it really happened.

Thank you!

Emilio Fede looks awful while paying tribute to Silvio.

 

He has played the "I'm dying" card for years, but it's probably time to start to consider him seriously.

Emilio Fede currently hospitalised for routine check-ups, hoaxes about his death circulated this week in Italy. The man himself says he has never been better.

 

How is this creep still alive? Immortals list next year.

I'd like to spend some more words for Luca Giurato. He was a national icon, a cultural phenomenon. And not because he was particularly good; he was always mediocre at best. He rose to cult status thanks to his continuous malapropisms and involuntary comicity. He was a meme before everyone knew the word "meme".

 

Just to remember him, he once had in the studio the president of Italian deaf mute association. He introduced him, then said "Hear, in a few words, of course, can you speak about...."

I sugested Ornella Vanoni a few Times over the year. L’appuntamento and Anche Se were two of my favs of her which I used to listen to on repeat when living in Italy for a year. I think She looked frail on her last appearances at San Remo and on Instagram but, as for Loren, it’s hard to tell with that much plastic surgery…

anyway, both of them will stay on my list for next year (considering I didn’t drop Ornella ? I’m not sur and my signature doesn’t show on my phone)

Controversial left-wing director Nanni Moretti recently suffered a heart attack, but he has already been discharged and back to public life.

 

He survived cancer twice, in the 90s and 2010s. I'd never thought he would make old bones.

Perenially ailing A-lister politician Emma Bonino hospitalised after breaking her femur in a fall.

 

75 years old and has recently announced she completely recovered from lung cancer after eight years.

Emma Bonino hospitalised in ICU with respiratory failure, but of course "improving and not in danger".

The bit in Dear Diary where, so disgusted by a movie critic's positive review of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer that he goes to the guy's house in the middle of the night and starts shouting the review through his letterbox, is one of my 10 favourite film scenes OAT.

It's a pity Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was a good movie while Moretti's movies suck.
