Carmine Bologna, a 42-year-old engineer and entrepreneur, lost his battle with category B large cell lymphoma, dying in his hometown of Benevento, just a week after fulfilling one of his last wishes: to marry his fiancée Marcella in the hospital. The ceremony, held at the San Giuseppe Moscati Hospital in Aversa, was made possible thanks to the compassion of the local Curia and the collaboration of the health authority.

After a delicate surgery that had left him in a coma, Carmine awoke with a clear desire to marry Marcella. On August 20th, before the chaplain and the chancellor of the Curia, he pronounced the fateful "I do" in a room transformed for a day into a veritable ceremonial hall, accompanied by the warmth and affection of the hospital staff and several Benevento football fans, who displayed banners of encouragement and support.

He was transferred to the hematology department at San Pio Hospital in Benevento the following day. There, Carmine underwent chemotherapy, but his heart stopped beating on August 27th, leaving behind a legacy of strength and dignity. His family, well-known and respected in the Ferrovia neighborhood, received numerous messages of condolence and expressions of affection from the local community and the health workers who cared for him until his final moments.

The story of his ordeal deeply touched the city and football fans, as Carmine was a devoted Benevento football fan, like his father Andrea. His courage and will to fight to the end left an indelible mark, transforming his story into a lesson in love and resilience.
