These are My Parents
The death of his wife Maria in 2016, only six months after the diagnosis of leukemia, was an unexpected event in Ugo’s life. In 2001 Ugo had an operation to remove a cancer and after that, he underwent a series of surgeries due to metastasis which had made him less and less self-sufficient. But soon it was Maria who needed lots of care, that care he was used to rely on beforehand. Without her support, he had to learn very quickly to live with the memory of his beloved wife and the suffering for her loss. Ugo became aware of being a father and a grandfather and was able to build up a new relationship with his dear ones. Ugo engaged in shaping his life in order to achieve knowledge and love and a renewed sense of family. This is the legacy he left to his children after his death from head metastasis on 16 April 2020
