Emma Bonino hospitalized in Rome following respiratory crisis

Emma Bonino, the 78-year-old leader of +Europa, has been hospitalized at the Santo Spirito Hospital in Rome following a severe respiratory crisis. She was transported to the emergency room in red code on the afternoon of Monday, September 7, after being found at her home.

Medical reports indicate that while her condition is described as delicate, she remains conscious, alert, and lucid. She has been placed in the intensive care unit as a precautionary measure to allow for continuous monitoring of her vital signs. Doctors have noted that her cardiovascular and respiratory parameters are currently acceptable.

A consultation between the hospital medical team and her personal physician, Dr. Claudio Santini, is scheduled to determine the next steps for her treatment. To prevent the spread of unverified information, her personal secretariat will be the primary source for official medical bulletins. This hospitalization follows previous health challenges, including a respiratory insufficiency in late 2025 and a lung microcytoma diagnosed in 2015.
