The accident and the illness
It was 2006 when the famous 68-year-old actor and film producer fell victim to a terrible domestic accident that took a toll on his health. A fall from the stairs caused a skull hematoma that left him in a coma for four months, resulting in severe neurological damage and the loss of some of his motor skills. As a result, Nuti has almost completely lost the ability to speak and is confined to a wheelchair.
After the fall, the actor was admitted to the Umberto I Polyclinic in Rome and stayed there until November, when he was transferred to a special center in Versilia.

Who was Francesco Nuti?
Francesco Nuti has lived two lives: the first as an actor and film director, interpreter of that kind of romantic and sweet and sour comedy that had a strong hold on the comedians of later generations, and who with his ease was a box office hit in the 80s; the second, now a sad victim of the crisis of his own comic cinema, marked by a ordeal of falls, accidents, accidents and illnesses that have left him semi-ill since 2006. Through a marked dialectal cadence and the animation of characters trying to regain the dominant role within the couple, Nuti performed brilliant comedies with slightly surreal tones that had an amazing success in the 80s thanks to films like “Me, Clare and the”. Darkness”, “Casablanca, Casablanca”, “Heaven’s Fault”, “In Love with a Witch”, “Caruso Pascoski of a Polish Father”, “Willy Signori and I come from far away”, to “Women with Skirts” , lucky film that broke all box office records in the 1991/92 season and marked the most successful moment in Nuti’s career, writing, directing and leading actress of this film alongside the beautiful Carole Bouquet. Francesco Nuti was born in Prato on May 17, 1955 and made his debut as an amateur actor while still a student, writing his own monologues. He was noticed by Alessandro Benvenuti and Athina Cenci, who wanted to include him in the group I Giancattivi, and under Benvenuti’s direction, he made his cinematic debut in “AdOvest di Paperino” (1981), a reinterpretation of the comic book repertoire of the Tuscany trio .
After leaving the trio, with which he ventured into cabaret and participated in successful television shows such as “Non stop” (1977-78) directed by Enzo Trapani on Raiuno, he began his solo career taking part in: als Screenwriter and protagonist in some Maurizio Ponzi films. Under his direction, he starred in three films that highlighted his original comedy: “Madonna, what silence is tonight” (1982), in which he embodies the character of the film Welcome and which makes him popular also thanks to the song. doll a pera»; “Io, Chiara e lo Scuro” with Giuliana De Sio, for which he received special recognition; and “I’m Happy” (1983). There are three films that give him great notoriety: in particular the role of Francesco Piccioli in the second film, for which he wins the David di Donatello and the Silver Ribbon for Best Actor. In the course of the success achieved, Nuti also made his directorial debut and confirmed the bittersweet tones of his comic streak with Casablanca Casablanca (1985), again alongside Giuliana De Sio, who gave him the second David di Donatello; The film, loosely based on Michael Curtiz’s classic ‘Casablanca’ (1942), continues the story of ‘Me, Clare and the Dark’ and pokes fun at a couple’s arguments during a crisis.
Nuti was always the interpreter of his films and often also the author of the screenplay. He has remained faithful to a delicate comedy that sometimes explodes in neurotic outbursts, in which the relationship between man and woman is constantly analyzed in different contexts: from “Tuta guilt del Paradiso” (1985) with Ornella Nuti to “Stregati” (1986) from Caruso Pascoski (A Polish Father) (1988) with his fiancée Clarissa Burt, whom he left for actress Isabella Ferrari will direct Willy Signori and I Come From Afar (1989) through to “Women with Skirts” (1991). In the meantime he has also devoted himself to music. In 1988 he took part in the Sanremo Festival with the song “Sarà per te”, later also recorded by Mina, and in a duet with Mietta with the song “Let us Breathe”, composed by the singer-songwriter Biagio Antonacci. Less successful films followed: OcchioPinocchio (1994), an ambitious reinterpretation of Carlo Collodi’s puppet; “Signor Quindicipalle” (1998) with an irrepressible Sabrina Ferilli, based on the actor’s passion for billiards – already at the heart of “Io, Chiara e lo Scuro” and “Casablanca Casablanca” – “Io amo Andrea” (2000), by produced by himself, and “Caruso, zero in behavior” (2001). After a difficult period, he returns to the set with Benvenuti in Claudio Fragasso’s «Concorso di guilt» (2005), his last film interpretation.
Moderate acclaim at the box office in the late 1990s, incomparable to the successes of the previous decade, caused Nuti to experience deep depression and problems with alcoholism, and the 2003 chronicles also mention a suicide attempt. But fate had one last joke in store for him: on the eve of his return to the set, on September 3, 2006, he fell down the stairs of his home and hit his head; Due to a severe cranial hematoma, he was urgently admitted to the Umberto I General Hospital in Rome. He went into a coma from which he awoke on November 24, 2006. He was transferred to the Versilia Hospital in Lido di Camaiore (Lucca). Site of a specialized neuromotor rehabilitation center and in February 2009 he returned to his home in Prato, helped by his brother Giovanni, doctor and composer, his collaborator in several films: but he will no longer be independent and has serious problems with his limbs and language difficulties, forced to live in a wheelchair.
The abuse lawsuit
In January 2016, Nuti made headlines over a lawsuit he was unwillingly involved in: his 35-year-old Georgian handler was reported for abusing the actor from Prato, who had been immobilized in bed for some time. A year after his release, the Georgian was arrested on charges of being part of a gang of compatriots engaged in shoplifting. In September 2016, Nuti was admitted to the resuscitation department of the CTO of Florence’s Careggi Hospital due to a cerebral hemorrhage. In the following years he was in rehabilitation clinics in Rome. In the summer of 2017, Nuti’s daughter Ginevra, who was born out of the relationship with actress Anamaria Malipiero, published an interview that said: “Now that I’m of legal age, I’ve asked to be my father’s sole guardian because I don’t think anyone is better than I can take care of him.
