Giovanni, 47 years old, lives in Rome (Italy), he suffers from
severe obesity since many years, and over time, has lost and put
on weight, up to more than 661 lb (300 kg). He has always
battled against his body, and obesity has deeply influenced his
emotional and work life. Due to his physical and economic
condition, Giovanni spends much time alone: he doesn’t have a
job, he is separated, and he lives in his parents basement. For
those who are obese, the body can become an inhospitable
place, a prison they can not escape from.
Obesity has become a global problem, called Globesity, and is
now considered an epidemic by World Health Organization,
which threatens the health of all nations. Indeed, for the first
time in human history, the world has more overweight than
underweight people.
