Di Battista Says He Is 'Much Better' After Health Scare in Cuba, Discharged From Rome Hospital
The former Five Star Movement figure has been released from Rome's Gemelli hospital following a serious health emergency abroad, according to ANSA.

Alessandro Di Battista, a former leading figure in Italy's Five Star Movement (M5S), has said he is "much better" and is now back home after being discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital, ANSA reported.
According to ANSA, Di Battista had suffered a major health scare while in Cuba before being treated and subsequently released from the Rome hospital.
Details on the exact nature of the health emergency and the timeline of his hospitalization were not immediately available.
Di Battista, once a prominent spokesperson and elected lawmaker for the M5S, has in recent years remained a public commentator on Italian politics while stepping back from formal party roles.
ANSA did not provide further details on his current condition beyond his own statement that he was feeling significantly improved.
