Nicoletta Saracco, testimonial of the fight against breast cancer, dies: the disease and its irony (the photo with high heels in Ieo) Milano

“Ieo Look”. Photos with high heels and a green shirt before the operation at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan. Nicoletta Saracco, 33, died after a long illness. But without losing the irony. Because of her will to live, her mental strength, because of the way she dealt with cancer, she had become a symbol (smiling). A Testimony of the fight against breast cancer.

who was

Nicoletta was originally from Civitanova in the Marche region, but lived in Milan, where she worked as a designer and painter in the fashion world. Exuberant, flamboyant in dress and swagger, she has always tried to keep her good humor up. On his Instagram profile, he described himself as a “cancer fighter” and his followers (8,698) supported him daily with messages and photos. She found out four years ago at the age of 29 that she had breast cancer. First the pain, the fear. Then the desire to help other women in the same situation. And the almost natural decision to talk about the treatments and the disease with irony and lightness (which is by no means superficial).

“Sickness is feeling”

“I want to tell you my story and raise awareness about prevention.” To raise money for research, she had founded Ni.Art Gallery, an online clothing and accessories store whose logo (painted by herself) was a faceless Madonna. his column, “Boobs, Heels, Makeup, Tumor: Anti-Panic Instruction Manual” was watched by thousands of people and should not only explain the therapies that cancer patients undergo on a daily basis, but also tell the feelings of women living with cancer. “Sickness is also feelings, emotions, smiles mixed with tears,” he wrote in one of his last posts.
