The Wider Image: Losing my grandfather to dementia during the pandemic
Gino Verani, 87, covers his face as he sits in the kitchen at his home, during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in San Fiorano, Italy, April 10, 2020. Marzio Toniolo, Verani's grandson, who took the photo, said that in moments of particular tiredness, Verani would ask his wife to go to bed very early in the evening. This, however, Toniolo said, created temporal imbalances in him and sent him into total confusion. So Toniolo's grandmother did everything to keep him awake and he, in his own way, reacted by pretending to be desperate. REUTERS/Marzio Toniolo SEARCH "TONIOLO GRANDFATHER" FOR THIS STORY.
