A trivial accident away from the cameras turned into a serious injury for Marco Giallini. The actor broke his leg in Aosta, where he was filming the new season of Rocco Schiavoneand underwent emergency surgery. A fall during a walk, a daily gesture, thus interrupted the production’s work and forced a halt to the filming of the TV series of the same name inspired by the novels of Antonio Manzini which has featured him as the protagonist for years.
According to information released by the agency Ansathe accident occurred in the last few hours during a break from the set. Giallini was taking a simple walk near the structure where he was staying in the Aosta Valley capital when he fell to the ground. The force of the impact caused him a fracture which left the doctors no alternatives: the actor was taken care of by a specialized team from the Umberto Parini regional hospital in Aosta, which subjected him to a surgery to reduce orthopedic damage.
The absence of the absolute protagonist inevitably alters the schedule of the television series, among the most loved and followed on the Rai schedule. The production machine of “Rocco Schiavone” is now forced into a last minute reorganization: at the moment, the production is evaluating the possible alternatives to advance filming to the extent possible, waiting to know Giallini’s exact convalescence and recovery times before he can return to acting.
