Rocco Siffredi Returns to Porn at 61 after Son’s Pericarditis Crisis and Appears at Right‑Wing University Event
Italian adult‑film star Rocco Siffredi revealed that his son Leonardo suffered a severe pericarditis in April, requiring urgent surgery and enrollment in a clinical study. Siffredi said the episode brought him to the brink of despair, leading him to pray nightly in church. He added that returning to pornographic work at age 61 gave him a “second chance at life.”
During the Festival of Television and Cinema in Benevento, Siffredi spoke publicly about the family crisis and his comeback. He later attended the national Azione Universitaria festival in Latina (30 July–2 August), where he met priest‑influencer Don Ambrogio Mazzai to discuss sexuality, desire and cultural changes among young people. The event gathered ministers, parliamentarians and other right‑wing figures.
Siffredi’s appearances highlighted a rare crossover between the adult‑entertainment world and a politically‑aligned youth forum.
