Oscar-Winning Director Francis Ford Coppola Undergoes Heart Procedure in Rome
Francis Ford Coppola, the renowned 86-year-old director, is currently recuperating in Rome, Italy, following a planned heart operation. The procedure, known as atrial fibrillation ablation, was performed by Italian doctor Andrea Natale, who operated on Coppola 30 years ago.
The news of Coppola's hospital stay was first reported by an anonymous source to the US magazine "People". Coppola himself later confirmed the news on Instagram, emphasizing that he is doing well. He is referred to as "Dada" by his children.
Coppola, who was born in Detroit, Michigan, has a strong connection with Italy. He spent part of his summer in the country, scouting locations for a new film whose production is set to begin in the fall. It comes as no surprise that he chose Italy for this medical procedure, as he regularly visits the country.
Before his treatment, Coppola made a detour to Calabria to attend a screening of his controversial new film "Megalopolis." The British "Independent" is one of the media outlets that reported about Coppola's hospital stay.
The Italian daily "Corriere della Sera" noted that Coppola's presence in Italy for the procedure is not surprising. Coppola, who is of Italian descent, has always had a deep affection for the country.
Initially, there was no official confirmation about the operation from Coppola. However, he has since spoken out about his hospital stay on Instagram, expressing his appreciation for everyone's concern.
As of now, details about Coppola's recovery timeline or future film projects are not available. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing his future works.
