He fought evil with all his might. He also made a show of it, dragging oncology women onto the stage in a catwalk who always left admiring and convinced comments. But unfortunately, today Friday 14 Junehe didn’t make it and the world of volunteering and that of healthcare in Legnano mourn the passing of Valeria Vanossi, president of the Il Sole nel cuore Onlus association. For those who knew her closely, she was a modern Joan of Arc, proudly combative, always and in any case. Her criticisms did not condition her, but rather strengthened her spirit and action.
Vanossi, 66 years old, was a leading figure in the field of care for frail people. Her last creature, Il Sole nel cuore was created precisely to actively support children less fortunate due to disabilities of various kinds, making them protagonists of the initiatives. With a group of trusted volunteers he offered continuously and constantly collaboration with the ASST Ovest Milano, becoming an indispensable association during the pandemic both within the hospital structure and in the vaccination hubs. Even today the association is a point of reference for users in our hospitals.
Strong character, she never gave up on anything. Not even a legal case that would have affected anyone had stopped her. Indeed, she emerged from that story even more convinced that she would continue to be the Valeria she always was. An uncomfortable character for certain environments, but always faithful to herself and her ideals. No one in the city like her has been able to involve so many authorities and institutions, from Local police to the fire brigade, from the State Police to the Civil Protection, from the Guardia di Finanza to numerous nationally renowned sportsmen.
Even his battle against evil was an example of stubbornness and will. Even in the last few days she talked about future plans. His thoughts went to the Rose Gala in autumn, because “I don’t have time to organize the one at the end of June”, to the campus in September with his boys at the Santa Teresa oratory, to the help he had to give to anyone who had any need, to my friend Norberto Albertalli and to the Quattro Ospedali Foundation. She couldn’t really see herself outside of an environment that now mourns her and, perhaps, she is already starting to miss her. She now rests with her Mario, recomposing an iron couple, the same one we have known in her life, because, as they say, “God makes them and then couples them”.
The date of the funeral is not yet known.
Mayor Lorenzo Radice, the deputy mayor Anna Pavan and the entire council express their condolences for the death of Valeria Vanossi, president of “Il Sole nel cuore”. «I want to remember Valeria Vanossi for the many initiatives of which, over the years, she was a passionate creator and animator in the context of city volunteering – declares the mayor Lorenzo Radice -. The commitment to our hospital, to young people with disabilities, to women affected by cancer are just some examples of the activity of a person who is tireless in caring for others. She passed away on the same day as Roberto Clerici, with whom she curated “Beautiful everywhere and anyway” for several years. the very successful event that links Health and Sport. Deepest condolences to his family.”
