Italian actor Massimo Boldi was admitted to hospital on Friday after falling and hitting his head in Forte dei Marmi, a coastal town in Tuscany, according to Corriere della Sera.
The 80-year-old comedian is now receiving medical care at a hospital in Livorno, the newspaper reported. The incident took place on 14 August, with the actor reportedly tripping on a pavement in the seaside resort.
Corriere della Sera said Boldi was hospitalised for checks following the fall. Other Italian outlets, including RaiNews, Sky TG24, AGI and MilanoToday, also reported the incident, with RaiNews specifying that he fell on a sidewalk and was taken in for observation.
The actor, known for his roles in Italian comedy films, was in Forte dei Marmi at the time of the accident. No further details on his condition have been released by the hospital or his representatives, and the reports do not indicate the severity of his injuries.
Boldi is a well-known figure in Italian entertainment, having starred in numerous popular comedies since the 1980s, often alongside fellow actor Christian De Sica. His presence in Forte dei Marmi, a favoured destination for celebrities, had drawn local attention before the fall.
The reports from multiple outlets agree on the basic facts: the fall occurred on a pavement, the actor struck his head, and he was subsequently hospitalised for precautionary examinations.
