The accident mentioned by Dalila Di Lazzaro, actress and model turned beauty icon in the 70’s and 80’s happened 25 years ago. The actress was on a moped and due to a pothole on the road in Rome, she had a bad fall that caused her multiple fractures and pains that had become chronic and have not yet been overcome. To make matters worse, as she explained, the distrust of the doctors, who didn’t believe her: “Back then, there was no talk of chronic pain. I had to go to Arizona and they were amazed that Italy wasn’t talking about it”.
However, the fight isn’t over for the actress: “Unfortunately, it’s not over yet. I don’t want people’s pity. I am combative, strong, I want to help thousands of people who are struggling with chronic pain. “With my strength, I want to continue this problem,” said Dalila, thanking the presenter for giving her the opportunity to share her experience to tell and to start their appeal.
Mara Venier intervened by saying: “About a year ago you said to me: ‘I can’t do the trips, take the car, the train, the plane’ and instead you arrived in Rome. I’m overjoyed, that means you made it. You got up from this bed, from this sofa. Whenever I come to your house, you are always there. The actress then explained that they call her Cleopatra now.
A tormented life
It’s not the first drama Di Lazzaro has experienced, however
In 1991 she lost her 22-year-old son in a car accident and at 62 she tried to be a mother again, but it didn’t go well. “Despite my age, I tried to have a baby, but I miscarried,” he told Chi weekly in 2015. “The doctors told me it would be a risky step, but I tried anyway.”
In the Sunday Salon of Barbara d’Urso then, in 2017, the actress had recounted the most difficult moments of her life or suffered three sexual assaults when she was a child. “The first time I was raped by a cousin was when I was only six years old.” The second, at 17, at the end of a fashion show: “I was attacked by a guy who kidnapped me for four days. I suffered all sorts of ailments. But I’m a lioness, I overcome everything.” The third at forty: “Cheated by someone I thought was a friend. He was a billionaire: if I had sued him, he would have hit me,” says the actress, who, however, glossed over with a smile: “I managed to find the strength within myself to overcome these shocks and, above all, to forgive”.
