An Italian man 63 years called Luciano D’Adamowent into a coma for a day after being hit by a carand when he woke up He thought it was 1980 and he was only 24 years old..
According to what they say, when you wake up I didn’t remember anything from the last 40 years, He didn’t recognize his wife and son.and I thought he was much younger than he is.
He remembered perfectly what he did. March 20, 1980since it is the last day that his memory managed to retain. During that time he worked at the Fiumicino airport in Rome as a ground operations officer, and when he woke up he thought he was still doing the same thing.
Among other things, he remembered that that day he entered his house Mount Marioin the Italian capital, and took to the streets again. At one point, he felt a violent crash, as if a car had hit him, and then he woke up in the hospital.
This fact it really happenedbut not in 1980, but in 2019. The problem is that when he woke up his life had gone back almost 40 years. In 2024, five years later, had to start from scratch.
When he woke up, Luciano asked to speak to his mother. The nurse gave him a cellular phone and the man could not recognize what it was since he had never seen one in his head.
He also couldn’t remember that his mother had died several years ago. Then, he saw a woman enter the room shouting his name, and he quickly recognized that she had the same features as his girlfriend in 1980. It was his wife.
But the shock of reality came when he looked in the mirror and noticed that there was no longer who he thought he was, but a 63-year-old gray-haired man. Then, they explained to him that “the accident had not occurred in Monte Mario, but in Via delle Fornaci“, in Rome, and not in 1980 but in 2019. In addition to the fact that a blow to the head had caused him to lose his memory of the last 39 years of his life.
Luciano had to start over
According to what they say, the adaptation to reality of Luciano was hard. “I still remember the amazement of traveling in a car that showed me the map of Rome on a screen, while a voice said: ‘In 100 meters turn right,’” he said.
He couldn’t recover what he forgot and those 40 years of his life, but he managed to rebuild it with his wife and son, in addition to the grandson he has now.
“Every now and then I meet someone who greets me. I’m sure it’s an old friend, but I don’t know who it is.; However, out of courtesy, I pretend to recognize him and reciprocate,” he commented.
Then, in a tone of irony, he said: “Sometimes I say that I would like to fly on a plane, but I have never done it and my wife corrects me: ‘What are you talking about?’ We were together in Paris. And I answer him: You’ve been there, I haven’t”.
“Luciano, according to Il Messaggero, understood that almost his entire life as an adult man is lost and that he will never get it back.” Now, he works in the maintenance area at a school and fortunately maintains his sense of humor.
Once, to diffuse the situation, his son commented jokingly. “You remember that you owe me 5000 euros, right? Luciano, seriously, answered him. “What are euros?”.
