This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Never before, have I met two volcanic, more full of life and always cheerful individuals as "forces of nature" like Luca Paiardi, – architect, musician and Danilo Ragona – planner, designer and founder and president of the company Able to Enjoy.
Praticamente, due forze della natura!
Explorers of four continents, organizers of 41 sports activities (and some pretty extreme), over 13,000km driven have one common thread: create and nourish a "can do attitude", push your boundaries, to advocate for the interests, and the rights for people with disabilities.
Both victims of unrelated accidents in their early 20s, for a serendipitous twist of fate, one was living the rehab facility when the other was being admitted when eventually, joined efforts to create "VIAGGIO ITALIA" , where both their athletic abilities, design skills, want to do do more and see more, provides a unique and corroborate avenue for people with disabilities to see and explore the world.
Last not least, also the project "Borghi in Carrozza" (Villages by Carriage), a route in stages to discover some of the most typical and evocative locations in Piedmont. A new adventure, set off from Turin on March 26, aboard a historic 1973 Lancia Fulvia Montecarlo from the Classica & Accessibile project promoted by ASI Solidale, specifically outfitted with steering wheel controls.
Follow Danilo and Luca on all their social media platforms to follow not only their adventures (super amazing) but also their design projects, and campaigns.
If I thought I was pretty "volcanic" myself, by talking to Danilo and Luca, I realized that they are on a different level. Have you ever thought about simple challenges that get in the way of traveling for people in a wheelchair where there are no bathrooms on board that would accommodate their needs in a dignified way? Everyone's well-being is an amelioration of society for all. Viaggio Italia: https://www.viaggioitalia.org/index.php?l=it IG: https://www.instagram.com/viaggio.italia/?hl=it
