Italian actress Sophia Loren, 89, underwent surgery in Geneva on Sunday for a broken hip after falling at her home in the Swiss city. She will have to be hospitalized for a few days and will have to undergo rehabilitation.
The great diva of Italian cinema and international star turned 89 on September 20 and was planning to move this week to Bari, in the south of Italy, to inaugurate the new branch of the Restaurant Sophia Loren chain, the fourth location in Italy after Milan, Florence and Fiumicino (Rome).
This time he was also to receive honorary citizenship of the capital of the Pulla region, and it was precisely the restaurant chain that confirmed that Loren would not be able to travel to Bari for the operation, while reassuring everyone assuring that "fortunately everything went well and Mrs. Loren will be back very soon". With the actress "there are her two children, Edoardo and Carlo", added the note.
In September, the Italian film star participated as a godmother in the One night only parade-event, organized by Armani at the Arsenale in Venice, and in June she was also the star of the evening to celebrate the centenary of the Festival of Opera of the Verona Arena.
In 2020, Loren shot his last film in Bari, La vita davanti a sé (Life in Front), directed by his son Edoardo Ponti.
