As you already know (or maybe not), on Sunday, May 15, 2016, Serena Vinci (Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”) was awarded by the organizers of the 18th International Dance Festival “Vetrina Scuole di Danza AICS” at the Teatro Verdi in Florence with the medal “A Passion Beyond The Senses”. Today we received the following letter from Mrs. Stefania Marinaccio Ballerini, which may be of some interest to our readers, as well as to Miss Serena Vinci: “Bravo, Serena! Your passion, dedication and constancy will bring you far. I know you since you small, I watched you grow and progress. Like many other children born with profound deafness, you worked hard and now you’re able to speak like everyone else. You’ve studied and learned with your professors and classmates in public schools. In short, you demonstrated that deafness can be overcome, even though, of course, with a hearing aid and rehabilitation. So you became a distinguished ballerina... Congratulations: you did it! You are an example to a lot of girls and boys. Finally, I invite you all to visit our website http://www.fiaddatoscana.org/ as well as our Facebook account Fiadda Toscana ONLUS”.
