He and little else survived the fire , just the memories, and the smile as a viaticum to face tomorrow once again. Aristide Loddo, known as Ninni, 85 years old , is still here. He survived the hell of the fire that destroyed his home, the night of February 4; he survived the water, during the 1999 flood that submerged his home and caused the bankruptcy of his furniture factory. He survived two road accidents: hit by a reversing van in via Tuveri in 2021 and the other, very serious, in August of last year .
Today, Ninni Loddo has only a few soot-soaked clothes and old newspaper articles kept as mementos. Even the medical records are burned, where the fire has not erased dire diagnoses, "after the last accident they said I would never walk again," he smiles. "Do you know what the most precious thing we have is? The ability to give without being asked. I have always been generous with people. I have nothing left, I have lost everything but I am rich because poverty is a propensity that does not belong to me. I do not need anything, only to laugh about it."
