AGI – The writer Valerio Massimo Manfredi, 78, and the writer Antonella Prenner, 47, are in very serious conditions, poisoned by carbon monoxide fumes. The two were in the author’s apartment in via dei Vascellari 71, in the Trastevere district of Rome.

The firefighters rescued them and took them to the San Camillo hospital and the Umberto I hospital respectively, where they arrived in code red. Manfredi was then transferred by helicopter to the Grosseto hospital and, late at night, transferred to the intensive care unit of the complex operating unit of the same hospital.

The carbon monoxide, which was seriously intoxicating Valerio Massimo Manfredi and the writer Antonella Prenner this afternoon, may have been released by a boiler in the apartment next to the one occupied by the 77-year-old historian. This is the hypothesis on which the firefighters and the police are working at this time.

The property in question, perhaps used as an art gallery, was seized for security reasons and in order to carry out a series of investigations. The monoxide had saturated the entire building in via dei Vascellari in Trastevere.
