“Knowing how to fall is much more valuable than knowing how to walk.”
Diogo Mainardi, The Fall: A Father's Memoir in 424 Steps

“When Tito was born, I was writing my fifth novel.

That was how I saw my future: living in Venice and jumping from novel to novel.

Tito's birth changed all that.”
Diogo Mainardi, The Fall: A Father's Memoir in 424 Steps

“My words to Anna, as we stood contemplating the Scuola Grande di San Marco, moments before entering Venice Hospital, came true: 'With a façade like that, I could even accept having a deformed child.'

I accepted Tito's cerebral palsy.

I accepted it as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I accepted it with delight. I accepted it with enthusiasm. I accepted it with love.”
Diogo Mainardi, The Fall: A Father's Memoir in 424 Steps
