Rome, May 2. (LaPresse) – “An extraordinary ‘light’ goes out, a person who left a mark, a wonderful man and athlete who taught us to love life, deeply, intensely and entirely, in all its forms, even when it leaves you with only a part of it: Alex Zanardi.” This is what the Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi wrote on X. “Alex went beyond the ordinary, in speed, in the face of obstacles, between a life loved and death pushed back more than once. Always. Alex, an example of strength, dignity, tenacity, passion, generosity, sensitivity and humanity, an ever-active witness of everyday and widespread Paralympism, so valuable well beyond sporting competitions. Alex knew how to go beyond limits, turning them into opportunities, he faced every difficulty making it seem normal, he gave a face to courage and hope. Alex gave a smile to pain,” he added.
