“Cuore elastico”, the official autobiography of Nunzio Bellino, has been published. The book, written with Giuseppe Cossentino and published by Olisterno Editore in the “Il Personaggio” series by Autorinediti, narrates the life of Bellino, known as “L'Uomo elastico” for his condition caused by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
The story of “The Elastic Man”
The book tells how Bellino faces and transforms his personal challenges, from the fight against bullying to a career in the entertainment world. His ability to stretch his skin has made him a symbol in raising awareness of rare diseases.
An awareness raising campaign
The autobiography, enriched by the introduction of journalists Sante Cossentino and Giuseppe Nappa, has an important social purpose: the proceeds from sales will be donated to research on rare diseases. “Cuore elastico” is available in bookstores and online, offering a story that invites reflection and empathic understanding.
