Just a couple of weeks ago, Giuliani Zuliani noticed that Ivana Trump was not doing her best, reports People. Zuliani is the owner of Primola, a posh Italian restaurant on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, just a short walk down E. 64th Street from Trump’s townhouse.
Zuliani told People that the last time he saw former President Donald Trump‘s ex-wife, “She didn’t seem to be in good shape. She could barely walk.”
He went on to say, “She didn’t eat her food,” noting that her favorite dishes were the veal scallopini and pasta with tomato sauce. Said Zuliani, “She took it home with her.”
Trump passed away at the age of 73 on July 14, shocking all who knew her, including this columnist. On July 15, a NYC medical examiner ruled Trump’s death accidental, noting blunt force injuries she sustained as her cause of death. She was found at the bottom of her staircase.
Said Zuliani, who was very concerned about her condition at Primola, “It was so sad to see her like that. But even though she wasn’t feeling well, she was still very nice and polite to everyone.”
I would like to go on the record to say I have known Ivana since the late ’80s. I saw her in Phillipe not long ago. She was always kind and generous, and moved around this Big Apple with style, dignity and class. She will truly be missed………
