The “Yellow Night” for Ciccio, an event between commitment and emotion

Two days dedicated to Luca Ciccioni, a "Yellow Night" for the child who had struggled against leukaemia for two years, the disease to which he surrendered six months ago. The weekend was organised by "Quelli che con Luca" (Those with Luca), an association founded by Andrea, Luca’s father, with the help of the town administration and the mayor Lorenzo Guzzetti.

The initiative, that took place last weekend and that is something worth telling, was a success, between tears and fundraising for a European research project against leukaemia. There were music, food, entertainment, a motorcycle rally, but also a charity auction with items signed by Valentino Rossi and were donated by the Official Fan Club

Motorcycles were a passion for Ciccio, as Luca was nicknamed, but his father during this weekend of celebration and remembrance also gave another announcement: "From April 16 to 21 I’m going to ‘La Prova del Cuoco’. I hoped, last year … when Luca was struggling I went for the audition with your involvement, you have entered me, Luca was very excited, then the darkness. The sky is no longer black, I’m going to Rome to cook for Luca." he said, becoming almost emotional, in front of the audience.

 

"It was the night of those many people who have seen Andrea with his strength as the collector of many fists”, said Lorenzo Guzzetti the mayor of  Uboldo,  “of many blues strangled, of so many nights spent watching the stars ‘yelling at the sky’…. The night of those with "the heart with a missing piece" who could realise that ‘when the wound burns your skin will heal again.’ And yesterday it was certainly burning in the night of those who went ‘over the day of pain that one has" and that yes, damn, yesterday they were there to tell the world that in those eyes of  Luca and in the strength of Andrea there was will and dignity. The same feelings of those who not only want fathers to continue to carry their children to school or to soccer lessons, but also of those who would want to have their mother on the day of graduation, of those who would want to have a sister or a brother who can continue to argue with and to be annoyed with, of those who would still need those eyes, those caresses. "

The emotion of these two days was ended by a minute of noise and the launching of  balloons in the sky, for Luca. The same emotion has been told by the mayor Guzzetti on his blog: "It was the night of the children, and I understood it when my granddaughter Rebecca said: ‘We launched the balloons because they could reach Luca.’”
