She last returned on January 1st Mara Venier Sunday in the living room Dalila di LazzaroActress and writer, who years later wanted to remember the dramatic moments after the traffic accident 25 years ago, revealing the worse consequences than the fact itself: “The accident happened 25 years ago and I haven’t got out of bed for 11 years , not even to wash me”.
Caused by a hole in the pavement of Rome that left Di Lazzaro with multiple fractures and the chronic pain that still plagues her, the actress has had to battle over the years even with those who didn’t believe in her pain: “It was a nightmare, because the doctors didn’t believe me back then, there was no talk of chronic pain at the time. I had to go to Arizona and they were amazed that Italy didn’t talk about it.”

A life, that of Delilah, peppered with great successes, but unfortunately also with dramatic events. In 1991, the death of his 22-year-old son again after a traffic accident and a plane crash: “I had a plane crash, I didn’t like flying in planes. I was with a friend of mine and with her partner they decided to hire a private plane to fly to the Bahamas and to get there we had to fly over the Bermuda Triangle. There was no more pressure and they dived until they hit the sea water and we jumped until we stopped, some she got hurt, I was like dead, I passed out. You could feel the sea sucking in the plane. They pulled me out of the plane and dragged me into the cockpit.”

Venier’s emotion was strong, as was that of the audience, to which Dalila responded with a wish: “Unfortunately, it’s not over yet. I don’t want people’s pity, I’m combative, strong, I want to help thousands of people battling chronic pain. I want to use my strength to advance this problem.”
