Sophia Loren Suffers Fall At Swiss Home, Undergoes Emergency Surgery

Iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren has undergone emergency surgery after sustaining a fall from her home in Geneva.

Loren, who turned 89 less than a week ago, sustained several fractures while falling in her bathroom, including one to her femur. She is currently in post-operation recovery and will have to “undergo a short period of convalescence followed by a rehabilitation process,” according to a statement from her agent, Andrea Giusti.

The news of her fall was announced by a restaurant she was set to open in Bari, Italy. Loren was also going to receive honorary citizenship from the city, but the event has now been postponed.

Her last public appearance was at an Armani fashion show in Venice, which coincided with the 80th Venice Film Festival.
