I was born in Sicily in the city of Agrigento. I lived there until I turned 17, and after that, I moved to northern Italy. Before I started using drugs, I had a normal life. I had good friends, I was going to school, and I played football.

For almost 20 years I lived in total darkness and I could not even say that during those 20 years I felt happy or that anyone would have told me “Fabio you are a special guy.” None of that, by then my label was decided by everyone to be that of “the...
I didn’t know the simple things in life were enough to be happy!
