Mauro Coruzzi, popularly known as Platinette, has been hospitalized once again for checks related to health complications stemming from his cerebral ischemic stroke. The announcement came straight from him via a social media video, where he addressed his supporters from the hospital bed.
Just days before the prestigious Festival di Sanremo, Coruzzi shared his health updates, stating with characteristic humor, "Perhaps it was divine intervention. This you see is a hospital bed, and I am here for checks since my condition had made itself known just before Sanremo. Maybe it found a way to keep me away from the Festival, but not too much, to be honest." His witty take has certainly kept the spirits of his fans high, even as he struggles with speaking due to the stroke's aftereffects.
Coruzzi's health issues began on March 14, 2023, when he suffered the stroke. Remarkably, he received prompt medical attention, which his representative credited for his recovery efforts. Following months of rehabilitation, he managed to return to television, becoming a spokesperson for organizations fighting against strokes. "I feel it is not only right but useful," he told Vanity Fair. "I do it also because I need it: it's another push not to waste time; to trust the best experts. Strokes today affect anyone, at any age; it’s not just the older generations at risk anymore. Even young athletes and healthy individuals can suffer from it now."
After the stroke, Coruzzi underwent extensive rehabilitation, which included regular therapy sessions and intensive speech rehabilitation. He managed to regain control over his movements and speech, albeit with challenges. Resuming his career, he made appearances on Domenica IN with Mara Venier, sharing his experiences and motivations with the audience. "I was fortunate because my physiotherapist was present when I had the stroke; he noticed something was wrong immediately, and within hours I was at Niguarda Hospital," he recounted.
Coruzzi's recent video also served as an explanation for his absence from public events leading up to Sanremo, indicating he would be undergoing tests over the next couple of weeks. He noted, "This is why I've been forcibly absent from events. Now we do the checks, and after a couple of weeks, we head home, I hope. Okay?" Following his message, he included the hashtag referencing Giorgia’s Sanremo 2025 song 'La cura per me', reflecting his enduring connection to music and the festival itself.
His hospitalization just before such a significant event has not gone unnoticed by fans and celebrities alike, who took to social media to send him wishes for recovery, expressing their support. Notable figures from the entertainment industry offered messages of encouragement: "Courage, Mauro, good recovery," wrote Roberta Beta, among many others urging him to regain his strength.
Roaming freely through memories and lessons learned, Coruzzi shared reflections on his experiences post-stroke with touching sincerity, addressing how life's unexpected challenges can reshape one's outlook. "It's clear when you're engulfed by troubles; your motivation to rise above becomes the only force propelling you up. Your resolve makes the difference," he mentioned during his candid moments.
Recently, Coruzzi reiterated the importance of lifestyle modifications to prevent future strokes, acknowledging his past excesses: "My life had become cluttered with vices. I'd gained 50 kilos within one year and would often eat compulsively. Stress played a significant role, compounding the risk, but I never imagined my fate could intertwine so drastically with my health. Today, I am determined to change this narrative and thrive."
This candid admission reveals how closely Coruzzi mirrors the struggles many face when confronting health crises, lending vitality to his narrative as more than just public entertainment but as relatable personal growth.
Now, as he prepares for the next steps of his recovery, fans wait eagerly for his return to the spotlight, hopeful for the resilience and humor Platinette is widely known for. His story promises to inspire and resonate with many dealing with similar issues, showcasing the human spirit's tenacity to navigate through adversity.
