“Lucianina” national denounces the shocking situation in which her ninety-year-old mother finds herself: in a house without a lift
Luciana Littizzettoaccustomed to making her audience smile with jokes and irony, has put aside her usual light tone to denounce an incredible situation that directly concerns her family. The comedian shared with her followers a video showing her mother, Antonietta Dezzutto, 91, sitting on a landing between one flight of stairs and another, immobile and helpless.
Antoinette lives on the third floor of an apartment building, but the building’s elevator has been out of order since May and work to replace it seems to be stalled. The tenants – many of whom are elderly, disabled or sick – are trapped in their homes. Littizzetto, with a mixture of anger and frustration, denounced the situation through her social media channels, drawing attention to a reality that, unfortunately, is common to many people in Italy.
In the video, Luciana wonders how this situation is possible:
“We walk on the moon, we perform a laparoscopy remotely, we rely on artificial intelligence and then we spend months and months replacing or fixing an elevator?”
It is a rhetorical question that highlights the malfunctioning of institutions and the bureaucracy that too often penalizes citizens, especially the most vulnerable.
Currently, to spare her mother the inconvenience of having to climb three flights of stairs, Luciana often hosts her at her home. Antonietta would like to be able to stay in her own home, but the lack of a elevator working forces her to struggle a lot to move. The absurd image of an elderly woman who has to stop at every landing to catch her breath hopefully unblocks the situation.
Many of his followers have shared similar stories. Many are the accounts of situations of unease and abandonment in which elderly or sick people find themselves, forced to live in unacceptable conditions due to the indifference of those who should intervene. Luciana’s voice, usually used to make people laugh, in this case has turned into a megaphone for those who cannot shout out their discomfort. Luciana Littizzetto has decided to fight this battle, using her fame to give voice to those who are too often ignored.
