News of Sophia Loren’s fall initially came to light because of her involvement in the opening of a restaurant in the Italian city of Bari on September 26. This restaurant marked the fourth to carry her name. Additionally, she was set to be honored with citizenship from the city. Unfortunately, all her scheduled commitments have been indefinitely postponed.
During this challenging time, Sophia Loren is receiving support from her two sons, Carlo and Edoardo. Edoardo, in particular, directed his mother in her most recent film, the 2020 Netflix production “The Life Ahead,” which earned her the prestigious David di Donatello Award for Best Actress. In 2021, a Netflix documentary titled “What Would Sophia Loren Do?” offered insights into her life.
