December 31, 2023
A brave circus spectator has been hospitalised after suffering a suspected heart attack during the knife throwing act. The volunteer, described as a man in his 30s, was asked to take off his shirt and was blindfolded before being strapped to a moving board. He agreed to take part in the stunt at El Circo De Los Horrores in Zaragoza, Spain, on Friday evening – but while the first knife throw was a success, he collapsed before the second knife could be flung. The circus show was called off and the audience were asked to leave before the volunteer was rushed to hospital.

June 3, 2024
La Spezia (Liguria) - On Saturday evening the guitarist of a local band, "Five Dot Eight", Fabio Alinovi, collapsed to the ground during a concert in Porto Mirabello. Thankfully the presence of some young doctors, an anesthesiologist and other doctors present in the audience and in the restaurants of the area, did everything for the sixty-three-year-old musician, which ended for the best. Alinovi was playing the guitar when he collapsed on the guitar and pedals. They were moments of panic on stage, the two singers stopped and two people under the stage turned him face up, then the arrival of the medical staff who were there for the concert gave CPR in turn waiting for the arrival of the paramedics first and the ambulance then. All engaged, with great professionalism and the help of the defibrillator before intubating the patient. The man was awakened for a moment, after about half an hour, and so, after the long respectful silence of the many present, a liberating applause was released. Now Fabio Alinovi is well, with great relief of his wife and son. He himself lets him know from the hospital, where he is admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
Maestro Giacomo Sagripanti becomes ill while conducting 'Madama Butterfly' at the Petruzzelli: opera suspended for 10 minutes
March 6, 2024
The conductor suddenly falls ill and the opera is interrupted. It happened on the evening of March 5th at the Petruzzelli theater in Bari: a repeat of Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly was on stage, Giacomo Sagripanti was conducting the orchestra and fainted. Everything stopped, the maestro - who has Abruzzo origins, is 42 years old and in his career has stood on the podium at the Valle d'Itria Festival in Martina Franca several times - was immediately helped by some musicians, and then by a doctor. There were minutes of apprehension among the artists and spectators, the theater was full in every row of seats and the opera was almost at its conclusion, in the third and final act.
It may have been the tiredness - Madama Butterfly lasts two hours and 35 minutes - the pressure for the role, despite Sagripanti having a consolidated international career, it may have been the commitment required by the staging, whose debut at the Petruzzelli was a matinee on 3rd March. The fact is that Sagripanti necessarily had to stop, but then he didn't want to give up. He recovered, and after about ten minutes he returned to his place to conduct the orchestra and complete the work. He was greeted with applause, and is now fine.
