Overview

• In a new interview, Vittorio Sgarbi recounts a severe depressive collapse that led to repeated stays at Rome’s Gemelli hospital, parenteral nutrition, a low of 59 kilos, and what he describes as a life‑threatening condition before returning to 71 kilos.
• He says he intends to marry longtime partner Sabrina Colle in Venice and describes her support as decisive in his recovery.
• Sgarbi reappeared publicly on September 28 to vote in San Severino Marche, posting photos with the local mayor and drawing a wave of online reactions.
• His daughter Evelina has filed for an amministratore di sostegno, with a hearing set for October 28 at the Tribunal of Rome, and Sgarbi says he will oppose the request.
• Evelina disputes claims he made about gifts and support, alleges €33,000 in unpaid maintenance, and through her lawyer describes his voting appearance as instrumental and her father as strongly debilitated; Sgarbi counters that many artworks are held by his foundation and are not his to sell.
