Italy mourns the death of TV star Fabrizio Frizzi
Italy is mourning the death of its TV star host Fabrizio Frizzi. The king of quiz shows broadcast by RAI succumbed to a brain hemorrhage on Sunday night and died in a Roman hospital at the age of 60, his family announced.
Born in Rome, he was one of RAI's most popular presenters. In his nearly 40-year career, he had hosted 73 programs. Frizzi had also appeared as an actor in several TV series. "We are losing not only a great showman and artist, but also a person who taught us to love our work," the public TV broadcaster RAI stressed in a media release. Already in October, Frizzi had suffered a mild cerebral stroke, from which he had recovered. (SDA)
