An important new certificate of esteem for Carlo Calcagni

Carlo Calcagni has received an important certificate of esteem and gratitude from the Municipal Administration of Salizzole (VR), signed by Mayor geom. Angelo Campi and Vice-Mayor Daniele Andreella, for having given lower secondary school students a testimony of life that went beyond words.

“In the council hall, during that meeting, I left my heart,” said the colonel of the Role of Honor of the Italian Army and Paralympic champion. “I brought my experience, my journey made of pain, strength and rebirth. I talked about sports as therapy, diversity as wealth, attainable goals for those who never stop believing. And I reminded everyone that “Never give up, despite everything and everyone, whatever it takes” is not just a motto, but a way of life. This recognition has deep value. Because it comes from young people. Because it is a sign that the message has reached them. Because when a testimony touches consciences and ignites even one spark of courage, then every battle faced really makes sense. I sincerely thank the City of Salizzole for their welcome, sensitivity and esteem. The words contained in that official letter are worth more than any medal or honor: they are the greatest prize I can receive.”

“The Municipal Administration extends its heartfelt thanks to you for your willingness to donate your special experience and testimony of life to our pupils of the Lower Secondary School of Salizzole. The meeting was a formative educational experience, because the strength, courage and determination that distinguish you, in your human and military capacity, express the founding values of the personal growth of the new generations,” reads the official letter from the Veneto municipality.

And again… “We are deeply grateful to her for conveying the importance of sporting activity, as a form of therapy to overcome diversity and be able to express oneself, with the conviction that being “different” does not mean “not being able to achieve goals” you just have to believe in it and “…Never give up,” this is the become her slogan. We hope that the days ahead can give you many more satisfactions, we cordially greet you.”
