Former Italian Minister Emma Bonino was rushed to the Santo Spirito Hospital in Rome in critical condition late Monday, according to reports. The 77-year-old politician was subsequently transferred to the hospital’s intensive care unit.
Bonino, a prominent figure in Italian politics and a long-time advocate for civil rights, previously battled lung cancer. She was diagnosed with the disease ten years ago, affecting her left lung, and announced she was in remission in 2023. At the time, she emphasized her commitment to continuing her work, stating, “I am not my illness.”
This latest health scare comes after Bonino was hospitalized for two weeks in October 2024 due to a severe respiratory crisis. Just weeks later, in November 2024, Pope Francis visited her at her home in Rome. A photograph from the visit showed both Bonino and the Pope seated in wheelchairs, with Bonino wearing sunglasses and a head covering instead of a turban, which she wore during her cancer treatment. The meeting underscored the respect Bonino has garnered across the political and religious spectrum in Italy.
Bonino has consistently chosen to maintain a degree of privacy regarding her health struggles, stating, “The personal is not public,” and preferring to focus on the political implications of her experience. This approach reflects her decades-long career dedicated to breaking barriers and championing progressive causes in Italy. +Europa officials have stated that Bonino is currently conscious.
