Man falls into coma after accident: When he wakes up, he thinks it's 1980!
Rome (Italy) - Luciano D'Adamo is hit by a car in Rome in 2019 and falls into a coma for a few days. When the Italian wakes up, he has forgotten 39 years of his life.

When he woke up in hospital five years ago, the now 68-year-old was convinced that he was 24 years young, still living with his parents and engaged to a 19-year-old girl. In short, he thought it was 1980.
At the clinic, he asked a nurse to inform his mother. However, it was not his mother who came into the room, but a "stranger", as D'Adamo now told the newspaper"Il Messagero". "She called me Luciano. And I wondered how she knew my name." The supposed stranger was his wife.
A little later, his 35-year-old son turned up, whom D'Adamo also didn't recognize. "But how could a man who was born long before me be my son?" the 68-year-old asked himself at the time.
When the Italian looked at himself in the mirror for the first time after his coma and saw his gray hair, he began to scream out loud. "The 24-year-old had become a 63-year-old man and he understood that this was really the case," recalled D'Adamo on the TV channel "Rai".
D'Adamo has to get used to normal life again

But it wasn't just his own family that the man didn't recognize. He also couldn't remember important events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 or the two soccer World Cups for Italy. Cell phones and the euro were completely foreign to D'Adamo.
Since then, the Roman has been trying to get his life back under control. He still has to get used to modern everyday life.
"Every now and then I meet someone who greets me. It must be an old friend, but I don't know who he is. So, out of politeness, I pretend to recognize him and return the greeting," says D'Adamo.
