Franco Di Mare

The well-known Italian journalist Franco Di Mare has passed away at the age of 68.

The sad news of the journalist's death was given by his family through a public announcement.

"Embraced by the love of his daughter, sisters and brother and surrounded by the love of his closest friends, Franco Di Mare passed away today in Rome."

On April 28, the journalist, in a direct link for the show "Che tempo che fa", revealed that he was suffering from a tumor.

"I have an incurable tumor, I have little left to live, but I don't give up," he said to Fabio Fazion.

In the interview given a few days ago, Franco Di Mare told about the time when he was a correspondent in Albania during the 90s, during which he also recorded an episode when he miraculously escaped a bullet.

"On July 28, I will turn 69, but I don't know if I will make it. Maybe yes. I am calm, I am not afraid. The idea of ​​suffering scares me, but I've been to many funerals of colleagues younger than me. And I'm miraculously alive. During a shootout in Albania, a bullet went through the back of the neck. I didn't die because I bent down to get a battery in my bag. I consider myself a lucky man", he said.

RAI's war correspondent appeared via live link to the Italian broadcast with a pipe in his face.

“This little tube that goes over my face is connected to an automatic respirator and it allows me to forcefully breathe, but it also allows me to be here. I have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a very bad tumor, linked to the presence of asbestos in the air."

Di Mare also explained why he may have "chosen" this very aggressive tumor.

"As a war correspondent, I spent a long time in the Balkans, among the fast and destructive depleted uranium bullets. Each explosion released endless asbestos particles into the air. I probably received it in Sarajevo, in July 1992, my first mission. Or the last one, in 2000, who knows."

In his last interview given a few days ago, Franco di Mare revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago.
