This is the story of Salvatore Vanni. Actually, he is called “Super Sal.” He is called that because he is a superhero.

A few years ago, Super Sal became very sick. The doctors call it neuroblastoma. It is a really big word that has given Sal so many problems. The neuroblastoma that Super Sal must fight is very painful. He has had many surgeries and has taken a lot of medicines to deal with it.

Like all superheroes, there is a battle that Super Sal must fight, and during his fight, Super Sal has always been brave. Sal has many powers that he uses during the long stays at the hospital. He can turn an ordinary hospital room into a blue lagoon or take on a bunch of pirates with his great swordplay. The ceiling in Sal’s room can give way to rolling clouds against a bright sky and to his boundless imagination.
