In a scene horrifically reminiscent of a Roger Corman horror film, a male tore out his own eyes in an Italian chapel Sunday. According to reports, the male was suffering from voices in his brain. He is recuperating in a medical center, but doctors say he will never see again.



Only used his fingers


During a St. Andrea church service in Viareggio, in Northern Italy, 46 year old Aldo Bianchini used his naked palms to tear out his eyeballs. Bianchini collapsed to the floor in a pool of his own blood as paramedics were summoned to the scene.



Event was horrible



The Reverend Lorenzo Tanganelli described the horrific event to reporters for the Italian newspaper Corriere Fiorentino. The quote was translated by NBC.



"This man at the back of the nave started tearing at his face and I realized he was gouging out his eyes. I called for assistance and the paramedics were quickly at the scene, and he was taken away and then I carried on celebrating Mass, but a lot of people had left because they were so shocked by what they had seen."



Bianchini lived in Italy for most of his life, although he was born in the United Kingdom. For the last 20 years he has resided with his mother in Viareggio, a small coastal town near Pisa. He had physiological problems in the past, although he did know five languages and studied chemistry.



Description from emergency responders


When emergency responders got there, they said that Bianchini was “calm and lucid,” as reported by ANSA. He told the medics that voices in his brain had commanded him to pluck out his own eyes.



Now blind



In the 26 years that Dr. Gino Barbacci had his practice, he had never seen anything like this, as reported by Bresciaoggi. He was interviewed for The Daily Mail where he elaborated:



"In all my 26 years of service, I have never seen anything like this before. He was in a great deal of agony and he was covered in blood. He said that he had used his bare hands to gouge out his eyeballs after hearing voices telling him to do so - to do something like that requires super human strength. We tried to operate and save his sight by reinserting the eye balls in both sockets but there was nothing we could do and he will now remain blind."



Just like a horror movie



The occurrence is eerily reminiscent of the ending picture of a 1963 cult favored, the Roger Corman horror film, "X - The Male With the X Ray Eyeballs." The film shows a doctor plucking out his eyeballs. This is done at a chapel while Mathew 18:9 is being quoted: "If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out."
