How Sophia Loren ended up in urgent hospital care

On September 20, Sophia Loren turned 89. Just days later, she received a cruel gift of fate that led the actress to go into emergency surgery.

The cinema legend Sophia Loren suffered a spectacular fall in the bathroom of her home in Geneva (Switzerland), as reported by the ANSA news agency.

As a result of the fall, the actress had multiple fractures that required emergency surgery in the hospital.

Specifically, Sophia Loren has broken her hip and femur. The actress's mobility will be very limited in the short term.

Obviously, Sophia Loren's agenda has been paralyzed, which means that, for the moment, she will not receive the mention of honorary citizen of Bari, an event she had planned for this week.

Nor will she be able to open what would be her fourth restaurant in Italy, precisely in the city of Bari.

On the actress's Instagram account, representatives reported the facts. They confirmed that in the coming weeks, "she will have to undergo a brief period of recovery, followed by a rehabilitation process."

Furthermore, 'The Hollywood Reporter' confirmed that her sons, Carlo and Edoardo, have accompanied her at all times in the hospital.

Her son, Edoardo Ponti, was the last filmmaker to direct Sophia Loren in a movie. It was in 2020 when she starred in the highly recommended 'The Life Ahead.'

Sophia Loren's last public appearance was at the Armani fashion show in Venice on September 2. It remains to be seen how long it will take her to recover from these two very complicated fractures.
