Silvia Deiana's mission was to take care of others. She was a doctor who loved a challenge and never spared herself. On 31 July two years ago, during an excursion on the Norwegian fjords, she met death which took her away from her earthly affections. But now the star of the doctor originally from Loceri, but raised in Chatillon where her parents had moved for work, shines thanks to a foundation that bears her name.
To remember her, a fund has been set up in Valle d'Aosta with the aim of creating a scholarship for students from Valle d'Aosta enrolled in the first year of the degree course in Medicine and Surgery. The resources collected will be used to create a subsidy for the benefit of the right to study and possibly for the purchase of textbooks necessary for the preparation of university exams to be donated to the Valle d'Aosta library system. Silvia, on August 7, would have turned 32 years old.
His passing has left unspeakable grief among family, friends, colleagues and patients. Silvia's love for science and medicine is the main reason that inspired the establishment of the fund, whose details for donations are illustrated on the page www.fondazionevda.it/fondo-silvia-deiana.
Silvia was a general practitioner and served in Milan, where she had met her boyfriend, Simone Mosca, an engineer, one of the members of the group that in the summer of two years ago had ventured into the Norwegian fjords where the tragedy occurred. A head trauma sustained in the fall had been fatal to Silvia. His organs helped save five lives.
