She was transported to Ca’ Foncello Hospital in Treviso. According to a statement, the surgery was meant to stabilize a fracture she suffered.
“In the afternoon, she underwent orthopedic surgery to stabilise the fracture sustained in her left leg,” the hospital told Reuters.
A source added that she was “monitored in the intensive care unit where she could have more privacy,” and added “there was no threat to her life.”
