In 2019, Luciano d'Adamo was hit by a car in Rome and lost consciousness. After a while, he regained consciousness after the accident, convinced that he was 24 years old, born in 1980. He did not recognize his wife or son. Thus, he lost the memories of 39 years of his life.

When they announced the arrival of a woman, he thought it was his mother, but instead a stranger entered the room:
“She called me 'Luciano'. And I wondered how she knew my name.
Later, a 35-year-old man introduced himself to him as his son. D'Adamo recalls his thoughts at the time: “How can a person who was born much later than me be my son?
When Luciano got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror, he started screaming when he saw a man with gray hair:
“A 24-year-old boy turned into a 63-year-old man.
He was told that the accident had taken place on Via delle Fornaci, not in Monte Mario, and not in 1980, but in 2019. However, due to the head injury, he lost the memory of the previous 39 years of his life.
Today, the 68-year-old man is trying to resume his former life, in particular with the help of family and friends, which, however, causes him great difficulties.
