Lorenzo is thirty-three years old, works as a doctor, and dreams of a life in theater.
He loves Ancona viscerally: a city where the sun rises and dies on the sea, even though he, paradoxically, has always watched only the sunsets.
When he is diagnosed with an aggressive, treatment-resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma, his life suddenly changes direction.
He loves Ancona viscerally: a city where the sun rises and dies on the sea, even though he, paradoxically, has always watched only the sunsets.
When he is diagnosed with an aggressive, treatment-resistant non-Hodgkin lymphoma, his life suddenly changes direction.
What follows is a fierce battle of hospitals, chemotherapy, hopes, and falls.
As his body weakens, Lorenzo continues to defend with stubborn determination his hunger for a future, clinging to the possibility of an experimental therapy available in the United States.
To save him, an entire city mobilizes.
Friends, strangers, artists, athletes, politicians, and thousands of people take part in an extraordinary fundraising campaign that in just a few days surpasses the half-million euros needed to attempt the treatment.
But time, sometimes, moves faster than hope.
Part memoir, part existential novel, part spiritual narrative, this is the story of a man who faces death without ever stopping to search for the light.
An intense and profoundly human journey into fragility, love, friendship, and the ultimate meaning of life. The proceeds from this book go to the Fondazione Lorenzo Farinelli ETS for scientific research in oncology and hematology.
