In the minutes while he waited for help, trapped in the wreckage of his car, Julio thought of his loved ones in Paraguay, wondering if he would ever see them again. Today, he is here with us, Alive, as the title of the autobiography he is presenting emphasizes, and this is the primary reason for his gratitude.

He is a positive person, smiling as he talks about himself: from the young professional footballer who arrived in Italy to play for Vicenza, to the rehabilitation to return to the pitch after the accident. It was a second debut that took place months later, a testament to how tenacity and determination can reach where the physical body cannot.

This story is well-known to Inter Campus—with whom Julio has collaborated for more than 10 years and who gathered at Inter HQ to greet him—and it serves as a constant example and inspiration for thousands of young people. From the children of the Cateura landfill to the United Nations, whoever listens to him is fascinated. This was the case for the Under-17 team he met remotely a few months ago, and the Inter youth players to whom he recounted his adventure at the Suning YDC Sports Center. Everyone was drawn in by his charisma.

This testimony enriches the Educational project with an important page, as the first signed copy finds its place on the shelves of the recently inaugurated library. We are delighted that it is a story of sport and passion, of a life that never gives up.
