Almost two years have passed since the accident in which Gianni Morandi burned his hands while gardening. How are you doing today?
On March 11, 2021, Gianni Morandi worked as he often does on his land in the countryside, in Sant’Angelo di Savena. He was very happy and posted a photo on Instagram explaining that he had finally found “gloves my size”, as he wrote, making fun of the size of his hands.
Shortly thereafter, while burning brushwood, he slipped and burned both his hands and, to a lesser extent, his legs. He was immediately transported to the Ospedale Maggiore in Bologna and later to the Centro Grandi Burns in Cesena, where he remained hospitalized for a long time due to severe burns on his right hand.
A year after the accident Gianni Morandi He was on the stage of Sanremo competing with Apri tutti le porte, the song that Jovanotti had written for him, which ended up in third place. Morandi himself said it was precisely the accident that sent him to the festival.
Thinking about it, he realized that “someone from heaven had looked at me… I had saved my skin, my face… I was lucky,” and in the days that followed, he posted a video on Instagram in which he heard Boy Fortunato: the famous song by Jovanotti … which he wrote for him at the time: Open all the doors.
Gianni Morandi, his hand after the terrible fire
Last year in Sanremo, Morandi was still “convalescent”, so much so that he brought a doctor to the festival “Who takes care of me every day. The hand cannot be relinquished.” She said. On the competition days, the singer wore a bandage.
In September 2022, Morandi underwent another operation on his right hand and posted a photo with his palms open, accompanied by the caption “Want to scream”: The hand still seemed very marked, but that’s obviously a step up compared to before .
That’s how it is today
This year Gianni Morandi returned to the Sanremo Festival, where he conducted with Amadeus. No bandages or protective gloves this time, but… hands free, even to hold the broom and clean up the “disaster” that left Blanco’s performance and of course around the microphone along with his peers Albano and Massimo Ranieri and with the youngster to hold Sangiovanni, with whom he duetted in a new version of Fatti mandare dalla mamma.
However, in rehearsals, behind the scenes and in moments of everyday life, he still wears the black and white protective glove he wore last year to prevent further damage to his hand. But it’s getting better every day… because Gianni is a lucky guy!
