We propose again, a "crumb" made last year to remember and let you know a little better ...
Tomorrow will be 20 years since you left us but only physically, we're always in our hearts!
a Crumb VERY IMPORTANT
Today I want to talk about Rosanna Benzi woman who has lived for 29 years in a lung steel, thanks to my father involved with her in the foundation of the Other, an association in life I still had my great fortune to meet you! Although I was little I remember very well of her, I remember when I went to visit her in the closet small hospital of San Martino, a small room, small, warm, and colorful, full of puppets in the middle of the room ... She, in the iron lung, the noisy machine that kept her alive, she felt free woman while depending on everyone, even the electricity! I remember that I liked to listen, and check to see that car, so big and the color gray, his round face decorated with paper clips in your hair I remember his smile, and its always ready to answer questions that we ponevamo the children ... "how do you scratch your nose? ... and others ... I remember that I imagined her body was hidden in there, I was intrigued , I saw her as a woman out of the fairy tales, a different but not a special, she has always fought for the underdog, she has never ceased to love life, she suffers precisely from the failure to live! remember people who came to her, sat down and told their problems without taking into account that she had perhaps the greatest! but she was happy, this happened because she never put in awe indeed, and it seemed that she was not to depend on others but the opposite! A Rosanna who loved small things ... the fresh water in the morning, the sun, the sea, the seagulls ....
BUT WHO WAS ROSANNA:
He loved life. He was cheerful and humorous. Until the last, until a terminal illness has truncated his will to live. Rosanna Benzi, 43 years not yet completed, twenty-nine spent in an iron lung in his hospital room San Martino di Genova, passed away on 4 February; suffering but lucid, a smile, although the latter disease consumed the day giorno.Rosanna Benzi, a woman "symbol" of the battles against the marginalization of the weakest (although using that term, "symbol" is wrong because it can already do a mean to want to frame in a category). Of course, a testament to how we can face life with determination and courage, despite the forced immobility, the total dependence on a machine to breathe, the walls of a hospital room. That iron lung hospital San Martino di Genova could be considered a "jail" for many. Not for her. He continued to watch the world through a mirror and the world has known his face reflected in the mirror, his determination to tackle serious problems, even the most difficult (even the themes of "taboo", as the ratio of sexuality and disability, to give just one example). E 'in 1962 when polio the paralyzed, causing severe respiratory failure. Rosanna was thirteen years old. Shortly after entering the iron lung ("my water heater," she said optimistically), so as not to leave it, except on rare occasions to participate in public events. In twenty-nine, Rosanna Benzi has been able to carry out an intense activity in support of the rights of the handicapped. She fell in love and it was reciprocated. He has also cultivated a desire to have a child, to arrive at the conclusion: "But it would be an act of selfishness, not love. A child needs to be held in the arms of his mother. "A few weeks before his death gave an interview to Rai:" I hope that the work that I started to go on. I hope to leave me a picture of a woman with strengths and weaknesses. A bit 'crazy, a bit' ironic. I hope I have not done a bad impression ...». The want to remember him, beyond the schemes that seek to categorize the 'diversity' and the 'standard' instead of giving way to the authenticity of every human person and the value of every life.
Rosanna describes this way: with good and bad, a bit 'crazy, very ironically of himself, he loved the simple things, and has tried not to make too many bad impression.
I like that ... I remember: A WOMAN WHO KNEW TOO CLOSE TO A FLYING MACHINE AND FLY THE OTHER!
