Francis Ford Coppola hospitalized in Italy for heart procedure
Francis Ford Coppola is "resting nicely" after being hospitalized in Italy.
The 86-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker met with a cardiologist who specializes in electrophysiology, which primarily treats arrhythmias of the heart, "for a scheduled update procedure" with his doctor of more than 30 years, a source close to Coppola told USA TODAY on Aug. 5.
USA TODAY has reached out to Coppola's representatives for comment.
In July, the "Megalopolis" director spoke during the Magna Græcia Film Festival in Soverato, southern Italy, according to social media posts by the festival.
