THE EYES OF THE MIND AND MEMORY' by Captain Sergio Cechet
8 April 2022
Position: Cinema Cristallo
Opening of the exhibition, 8 April, 3 p.m.
In 1982, a bomb blast during a routine check-up left him blind and mutilated his left arm. After overcoming the shock and even contemplating suicide, Sergio Cechet, a lieutenant in the role of honour in the Air Force, found his reason for living in sport and in spreading the word about the disabled. With him is his disabled friend Massimo Valle. Cechet chose water and sky to find his physical freedom. First he set the world record in scuba diving for the disabled (with the help of the great Jacques Mayol) and now he is trying, the first in Europe, to obtain a flying licence for the blind. A great lesson in life, for the disabled and the able-bodied alike.
