Giovanni Allevi Marks 23rd Myeloma Infusion as Documentary Nears Rome Film Fest Premiere

He rejects statistical life‑expectancy limits after detailing a non‑chemotherapy, bone‑targeted infusion with heavy short‑term side effects.

Overview

  • Diagnosed three years ago, the composer says the infusion makes him feel unwell for about ten days and intensifies bone pain while aiming to strengthen bone tissue.
  • He noted on Instagram that receiving a chocolate pudding at the end of his twenty‑third infusion felt like a beautiful moment.
  • The documentary Allevi – Back to Life is slated for an October presentation at the Rome Film Fest and a November 17 cinema release with an accompanying soundtrack.
  • Allevi describes drawing strength from fellow patients, calling the cancer institute’s acceptance room a sacred space of mutual support.
  • He previously returned to the stage by conducting MM22, a cello concerto he composed during hospitalization.
