Little Mirko was 7 years old , hospitalized at the Regina Margherita children's hospital in Turin and died after battling against an incurable lung tumor.
His last wish had moved the web: to see superheroes. A dream that came true a few weeks ago thanks to the many volunteers of a non-profit organization who, armed with masks and cloaks, greeted the child in chorus in front of the hospital. And some of them, with ropes, lowered themselves to the window of his room.
The father Alessio entrusted the thoughts dedicated to his child to social networks : «Mirko passed away at 22.46. He smiled until his last breath. Now he's free to play and he's done suffering. May this last year not be in vain. Fly daddy's angel».
The little boy had been diagnosed with " Ewing's Sarcoma " and the struggle - waiting for a miracle - lasted a whole year. "But the miracle was that he was able to lead an almost normal life ", confesses his father. Mirko's funeral poster the silhouette of Superman, the same character that the little patient loved so much, was placed and the funeral will be celebrated on Tuesday morning at 11 at the Madonna di Campagna parish in Turin.
