“You were an angel who changed my life by giving me the strength to do things that I never could think about doing,” he said on Facebook.

“You taught me true love, you taught me to smile and be happy again. We had a life ahead and you left like that. I loved you from the first day I saw you, you made me struggle to conquer you, but then you agreed to live this fantastic adventure together and you gave me the best two years of my life.

“I will always remember you like this, as my beautiful Mariasofia, and I will always be your ciccino. I love you and I will always love you my love.”

As noted by MSN Italy, Mariasofia was an athlete of the Posillipo Swimming Club, in 2019 she was part of the staff of the Swim4Life Trophy, valid for the Supermaster FIN Circuit. She was part of the Speedo Masters Team and in 2020 she had participated in the crossing of the Strait of Messina, as well as in the Capri-Naples.

Her sister Mariapia Paparo shared a picture of the two and said on Instagram: “Bibbi what you did to me. What you’ve done to me.

“My life, where are you? My life, where have you gone? Why did you leave me? Why did I make you leave? You slipped through my hands. My life, my lips, my heart.

“You are so beautiful dressed as a bride, with your golden crown. You are beautiful. You were the sun and everyone wants to say hello. You tore my heart out.

“I shouted your name, I tried to make you stay. My love, what have you done to me.”

        I bet you were one of those pushing vaccines for everyone despite having the data on adverse effects but continued pushing the propaganda about how unvaccinated people were a health risk to you with one.

      Totally vaccine related death. But then again, could it be related to over-exercising? So many many famous athletes died from too much of exercise, which resulted in heart-attack. Unfortunately, modern science have never been able to prove that and to say that over-exercising could lead to death would be very irresponsible. Worse, it could destroy the entire ‘sport industry’ and so i can imagine such a study would not be popular with many. Chinese medicine for example, has always maintain that exercising (in true modern sense, like jogging, running, even swimming) is not good for the body. Thus, it has always promoted a slow form of exercise such as stretching (like yoga), breathing, tai-chi (slow moving dance like forms) etc etc. I think the ancient chinese saw many died due to over-exercising eons ago. But again, such comment would be totally unacceptable due to the current mindset everyone is in.

        Look at the statistics from few years before the vaccine rolled out, only few death cases among professional athletes were reported. It was so rare to even notice. Since COVID-19 vaccination we see hundreds of athletes dead within a year. Check the HighWire.com website for video and research documents from around the world. I wish that is only the overtraining to blame like Chinese medicine suggests.

      Vaccine Holocaust

      Why no mentioning of the cause of death, which seems to be the experimental corona vaccination that weakens the natural immune system and causes VAIDS.

        So true, but a lot of people have no idea. They continue to believe that Covid is dangerous and that the vaccine isnt. the same people probably also believe that Bill Gates is a good guy

      The clot shot doesn’t rest. How repulsive that it’s never mentioned.
