No comment instead from Lino Banfi, although, probably, the actor of "A doctor in the family" and many other well-loved TV series and movies, is experiencing a very painful moment.

Banfi, in more than one interview, had declared that he wanting to leave with his wife. The two have been united by a deep and sincere love for more than sixty years and, during one episode of Verissimo, the actor had revealed the secret of their love story:

“There is no recipe, the recipe is the building of a shared house, of sacrifices, of suffering. These great loves are concrete that becomes an anti-seismic house, they can't be demolished anymore."

Then, speaking of his wife, he was moved, especially when he recounted an episode in particular that saw him and himself as protagonists. Lucia Zagaria:

“Once, during the pandemic, he asked me: “Lino, can't we find a way to die together, the two of us? Because if you die first, I can't do it". When someone in a couple leaves before the other, it's like taking a couple photograph and tearing it in half. You can take all the hills in the world but it will never be like before.”
