From a painful event where illness breaks open the door to the life of a teenager and a little girl who threatens to win, here is the story of a new start and a friendship that has become fruitful, doing good to the protagonists, but also one entire community.
Angelica and Charlotte
On Friday evening, the Merate room was packed for the concert organized by the “Sisters of the Department” in aid of the Maria Letizia Verga Committee that raises funds for leukemia research.
Carlotta and Angelica, the two souls of the association, were teenagers and children respectively when the disease struck them. Both too young to feel pain, fear and agony. But they made it, they fought like two lionesses and wanted to form a partnership to help the committee that funds the research and also supports families and patients.
Among the initiatives was the Friday night concert, with hundreds of spectators enjoying two hours full of ingredients: music, poetry, solidarity, generosity, hope.
On stage, the voices of InContro Canto, an all-female gospel choir, accompanied by a keyboardist and a conductor, proposing traditional songs of this musical genre that went further and even reached heavy metal, with a reinterpretation of “Nothing else matter”. Goose flesh.
Because music, like Carlotta and Angelica, is warlike, delicate and magical at the same time. And, we add, it manages to give strength and elicit a healthy smile too.
