Lele Mora Hospitalized in Rome After Stroke During Tour

Doctors say he will need at least 60 days of rehabilitation and he is seeking transfer to Verona to be near family.

Overview

  • Mora felt unwell before a show at Teatro San Filippo in L’Aquila on Oct. 24 but went on to perform, and the next day he fainted on a train to Rome and was admitted to Policlinico Umberto I.
  • He has been in hospital for about two weeks and spent five days in intensive care, a period he described as a ‘total darkness’ from which waking was very difficult.
  • The clinical team treating him is led by Professor Giovanni Fabbrini, head of neurology, and Professor Francesco Pugliese, director of emergency and urgency at the Policlinico Umberto I.
  • Medical staff have told Mora he faces a long rehabilitation of at least 60 days, and he is seeking transfer to Verona but has encountered difficulty finding a suitable rehabilitation placement in the Veneto region.
  • His children Diana and Mirko and the priest Don Felice have kept close bedside watch and the family limited public notice; Mora is a former high‑profile talent agent who served probation after a bankruptcy conviction and later worked with Don Mazzi’s Exodus community.
