Director, producer and actor Gaetano Di Vaio, 56, is hospitalized in danger of life after a serious road accident that occurred last night in Qualiano, in the province of Naples.
The accident happened around 23:00 PM last night in via Santa Maria a Cubito. Di Vaio was riding his scooter when he lost control of the vehicle, falling heavily to the ground.
Rescued by the 118 health workers, he was rushed to the emergency room of the San Giuliano hospital in Giugliano in Campania. His conditions appeared very serious from the start and he is currently hospitalized with a reserved prognosis.
Born in the Piscinola neighborhood of Naples, Di Vaio had a difficult life. As a young man he was arrested for drug possession and spent several years in Poggioreale prison. After a period of redemption, he established himself as a cultural operator, joining Peppe Lanzetta's theater company and founding the association and film production company "Figli del Bronx", now "Bronx Film".
Always attentive to the themes of social hardship and the redemption of urban suburbs, Di Vaio is among the producers of successful films such as “Napoli Napoli Napoli” by Abel Ferrara and the series “Gomorra”, inspired by the novel by Roberto Saviano, in which he also acted. The entire cinema and entertainment community is apprehensive about his conditions.
