Emma Bonino hospitalized in intensive care in Rome due to respiratory crisis

Quiet night for Emma Bonino. The historic radical leader has been hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Santo Spirito in Rome since yesterday afternoon. "The measurement of the parameters is underway after the night" his staff said, underlining that "the situation remains calm" and that "an official medical bulletin will be issued in the morning". Bonino, who is 78 years old, had been admitted to the same hospital, again in intensive care, as early as November 2025. Subsequently transferred to the Stroke Unit of San Filippo Neri, she was discharged after about a week. Doctors had ruled out a recurrence of the lung cancer that she had been diagnosed with in 2015.

In intensive care

Yesterday afternoon, around 6pm, Emma Bonino was taken by ambulance to the emergency room of the Roman hospital due to a respiratory crisis. Around 8pm the doctors decided to transfer her to intensive care to monitor her parameters. "In these hours, uncontrolled news of all kinds is coming out: critical conditions, intensive care and more. And therefore - specified Claudio Santini, attending physician - in respect of the privacy of Emma Bonino and her family we have decided that the only information on her state of health will be issued by her personal secretariat through bulletins created on the basis of what has been verified by the doctors who are treating her and in liaison with me".
