In the end, the shipwreck was indeed sweet because Vittorio Sgarbi was rescued, but his swim in the waters of the Ionian Sea in Albania could have ended with a different ending, given the dangerous nature of the sea on that stretch of coastline (the water gets deep suddenly and just a few meters from shore) and given the day that was not exactly suitable for enjoying the coolness of the currents.
On vacation in Albania, Sgarbi was in the south of the country, in Palasë, where he was a guest at the Green Coast resort and where he decided to throw himself into the waves despite a less than inviting-looking sea. The art critic, as soon as he entered the water, found himself floundering in the swells until his daughter Alba and a lifeguard from the resort managed to pull him away from the force of the billows and lead him to safety, preventing him from drowning. With him, in addition to his staff, was the mayor of Vlora, Dritan Leli, who evidently witnessed the little bathing accident.
These days Sgarbi is visiting several cultural sites in Albania spreading the images on social media. However, even the images of the rescue have not escaped notice, since a guest of the resort managed to capture in full in a video the fearless plunge that, fortunately, ended successfully and without consequences, although with a small twist: in fact, the press office of the critic reports that, in the excitement of the moment, Sgarbi lost his ever-present glasses.
In short, if Sgarbi has shown that he is not afraid of coronavirus waves, he should perhaps be more careful of Ionian waves: and of course, on social media, everyone is already calling him a “goat” for braving the wrath of Poseidon in conditions where the sea should have suggested more caution...
