Italian Man Luciano (63) Wakes Up from Coma and Thinks It's 1980

rome - Luciano D'Adamo, a 63-year-old Italian man, woke up from a coma and believed he was back in the year 1980, forgetting the past 39 years of his life.

Italian man Luciano D'Adamo was hit by a car in 2019 while crossing Via Delle Fornaci in Rome. He sustained a severe head injury and the driver fled the scene. However, the real ordeal began later.

He was hospitalized and remained in a coma for a day. Upon waking up, he couldn't recognize his mother or the man claiming to be his son. He was baffled by the fact that he was supposedly married to a woman he didn't know, believing he was engaged to a 19-year-old.

Realizing he had amnesia, Luciano thought he was 24 in 1980, completely unaware of his marriage, fatherhood, and the passage of time. Despite efforts from doctors and loved ones to jog his memory, he accepted his new reality as an older man living in a changed world.

Today, working as a maintenance man at a school, Luciano is rebuilding his relationships with his family with the help of psychologists.

Medical experts are intrigued by his case, considering it a unique instance of memory loss following a head injury.
