Alice Arcuri: From Fencing to Acting Amidst Personal Battles

Alice Arcuri, who became popular thanks to the drama series 'Doc - In Your Hands', returns to Rai 1 in the drama 'The Clandestine'. There she is Carolina, 'a woman who appears sunny, but in reality hides strong pains, deep scars, and also great fragility. She is an insecure and incomplete woman, who only thanks to a new love will finally find herself, to walk on her own legs.' Amadeus leaves Rai (and not only), from Fagnani to Sciarelli and Ranucci: who might leave. And the Fiorello case remains. Speaking to Di Più Tv, to her colleague Francesca De Pasquale, Alice tells of having suffered from a serious illness. She began to suffer as a teenager, when she was competing in fencing. 'Before becoming an actress, in fact, I fought for a long time with a rare and very disabling disease: a femoropatellar malalignment, that is, a malformation that causes problems to the bones of the femurs and hips.' Health problems accused precisely during her activity but without understanding the disease. 'During some competitions, I began to have pains, which over time became stronger and stronger, so much so that I had to leave fencing and switched to swimming. However, the situation did not improve: until one day I literally felt my knees give way and I realized I had something serious.' Visits, checks, specialists, but nothing. No doctor was able to understand, to find a cure. 'Until - she still tells the magazine directed by Osvaldo Orlandini - at a certain point, my father found a doctor in the United States who finally managed to identify the disease and give me the right treatment. Before they had told me that I would have to undergo surgery, instead he advised me to do a particular type of physiotherapy. It worked: now I am fine even though, because of my disease, my legs have come, and remained, a bit crooked.' Alice gave up sports so her mother enrolled her in a theater course 'and it was a revelation', Alice Arcuri revealed to Di Più Tv. 'After two years I began to work in theater and I never stopped. Until, in 2014, Giovanni, my son, was born. And at that point I realized that I would have to change my life: because doing theater means always being on the move with the various shows, while a child needs stability. So I started auditioning for TV...' And now another great drama will come for Alice Arcuri. 'I will be in the cast of the second season of Viola come il mare, on Canale 5: compared to The Clandestine I will have a role that turns much more to comedy, it will be a surprise.'
