Talks Gabriele Marchetti, the competitor of the Canale 5 broadcast who was paralyzed after a game. “Now I am without autonomy and I totally depend on my wife and my son”
With a veil of embarrassment, Gabriele Marchettithe competitor of the show “Hello Darwin” remained quadriplegic after being slipped on the rollers during the test of the «Genodrome»says he cannot describe what he feels, and instead his words are a punch in the stomach as they tell of his tragedy: «Before that day I was a man who did a thousand things. Now for me it is finished everything».

Since that day, April 17 of 2019more than three years have passed, 1152 days: “But Paolo Bonolis never looked for me to find out how I am. Not even people close to him have ever contacted me ». Marchetti is keen to underline that «at the beginning only someone from the production made himself heard by phone and by e-mail with my family to find out about my physical condition. They made themselves available for any of our needs. But then there were no other contacts ».

His second life, the one following the dramatic accident, is a succession of days “boring and very long since I can not do anythingno activity – says Gabriel – I am completely lacking in autonomy e I depend totally from mine wife Sabrina it’s mine son Simone for the performance of every daily act “. In his first life, Gabriele, a sweet and very courageous big man, proudly and inconsolably nostalgia remarks a fixed point: “I have always worked and I have dedicated myself to the family”.

Even on the day of the tragedy he had worked: «As always, on the other hand. Then around 11 I went to the Titanus television studios to record the show ». In recalling the days preceding the appointment with «Ciao Darwin», Gabriele does not hide that he was «pleased with the news of being able to participate in a television program and a new experience. I had shared, as always, with Simone and Sabrina this adventure. “I thought I’d have a different evening and have fun“Says Gabriele, who has branded every fragment of the moments following the fall from the rollers in his head:” I ended up in the water upside down, with my legs curled up and arms gathered – he remembers – I thought I would drown because I couldn’t move nothing. Then I heard the rescuers who intervened immediately ».

The rollers on which Marchetti fell – assisted by the lawyers Federica Magnanti and Giovanni Ciano – are at the center of the four-manager trialincluding two at the top of RTI (Italian television networks, a company merged into Mediaset), accused by prosecutor Alessia Miele of very serious injuries because their surface would have been made “slippery” to make the test more difficult. When he opened his eyes, the damned verdict arrived for Gabriele: he would have remained quadriplegic, forever. “For me it was a total collapse – confesses Gabriele – I felt desperate, like my family since we found ourselves from one day to the next with life completely turned upside down”. What is he missing, among the many things he will no longer be able to do? “Amavor a lot of playing soccer ».
