Italian Composer Giovanni Allevi Says Summer Heat Worsens Multiple Myeloma Pain

Italian composer and pianist Giovanni Allevi, who announced in June 2022 that he is living with multiple myeloma, posted on social media that the summer heat intensifies his pain and fatigue. He wrote, “Il caldo estivo aumenta la percezione del mio dolore e la spossatezza,” and expressed hope that autumn will arrive soon.

Allevi said he is trying to manage the disease through stretching, brisk walking, and careful diet, but feels limited by the condition. He concluded his message with an encouragement to others battling illness, sending “an embrace to all the people who are fighting.” Fans responded with supportive comments, suggesting cool air, mountain trips, swimming, or simply using air‑conditioning.

The posts highlight the personal challenges faced by the well‑known musician as he copes with a serious health condition.
