Nanni Moretti in Stable Condition After Suffering Heart Attack in Rome
Nanni Moretti is reportedly in stable condition after suffering a heart attack in Rome late Wednesday
The 71-year-old idiosyncratic director, actor and screenwriter, who won the 2001 Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for “The Son’s Room,” was rushed in the afternoon to Rome’s San Camillo hospital where he underwent surgery. Known as an acerbic moralist and social commentator, Moretti most recently competed in Cannes in 2023 with high-concept meta-comedy “A Brighter Tomorrow,” in which he stars as a Roman director who is shooting a period piece set in Rome in 1956. Moretti has often constructed his films around his own persona, appearing as the central character, starting with his 1976 Super-8 debut “Io Sono un’Autarchico” and its follow-up, “Ecce Bombo,” which humorously captured the discontent gripping Italy in the bleak 1970s, and, of course, the autobiografical “Caro Diario,” 1994, which marked his international breakthrough.
