This book offers just a few glimpses into the fifteen short years of teenage Carlo Acutis. Carlo fell ill at the age of 15, in early October 2006. Everything suggested he had the flu, but after undergoing clinical tests, the doctors pronounced the diagnosis: "fulminant leukemia."
On October 12, 2006, Carlo left this world. His body was mourned by a continuous pilgrimage of those who knew him, and countless people attended the funeral mass. With this book, we invite all readers to live life to the fullest, reflecting on Carlo Acutis's life story.
Precisely because he lived a normal life, Carlo left his mark on many hearts, and this continues to inspire us to step outside ourselves and our security and encounter him without prejudice or fear. Carlo was a completely normal young man, yet possessed a unique harmony, and he showed us all that life may be brief and fragile, but it should be lived without being wasted.
