The Italian came out of the coma that she had been in for nine months after hearing the voice of ex-Roma captain Francesco Totti. This was reported on Monday, September 28, by La Repubblica.

20-year-old football player of the Roman team “Lazio” Ilenia Matilli was in a coma after an accident. The girl’s family tried to wake her up during all these nine months, they let her listen to the anthem of FC Roma, for which she was rooting, although she played for Lazio.

Through mutual acquaintances, Totti found out about the situation and decided to record a video message for her with the words: “Ilenia, don’t give up, we are all with you.”

Matilli turned on the tape over and over, and gradually she began to come out of the coma. Among her first desires after awakening was a meeting with an idol. On the morning of September 28, the footballer visited her at the Agostino Gemelli hospital.

“She smiled, hugged me and started crying,” the 44-year-old athlete later told reporters.

Totti admitted that if he knew that it would help the girl, he would have done it earlier, writes Gazeta.ru. He added that he and Matilli had agreed to meet after her discharge.

In April 2019, it was reported that a woman in Germany had recovered after 27 years of being in a coma.
