Moving Forward with Paralympian Beatrice Vio

This post is in celebration of Women’s History Month. Throughout March, we’ll be highlighting the stories of women doing extraordinary things around the world.

Paralympian Beatrice Vio’s (@bebe_vio) relationship with fencing started at age 5. “It was love at first sight,” says the gold medalist, now 20, from Venice, Italy. In 2008, Beatrice contracted meningitis, which resulted in the amputation of both legs from the knee and both arms from the forearm, with severe scarring to her face and body. “Getting back into fencing was the only thing I had on my mind,” she says. “Some people said it was impossible, but I did it!” Today, Beatrice competes in wheelchair fencing, using a special prosthetic device, created by her father, to hold her foil (a fencing weapon). “In wheelchair fencing, you can’t move backward — you can only attack,” she says. “This is the same thing that you have to do in life, and I always do.”

Bebe Vio è un esempio di ispirazione per l'Europa, capace di cambiare la percezione del possibile. Bebe Vio è la forma del futuro. Non sarebbe sopravvissuta senza la scienza, non vincerebbe senza la tecnica. È il trionfo della ragione sulla superstizione. È giovane, forte. Sa che le conquiste della medicina le renderanno la vita più semplice, ma sa anche che la non conformità del corpo ha bisogno di cultura e immaginazione e che questa è la libertà. La libertà non è la difesa isterica dell'identità ma il mondo, gli altri, la comunità.

Regram from @alessiaglaviano ... And Good Night ❤️👑 #vogueitalia ・・・ ‘In the Real World’ 🚀 An exclusive interview with @bebe_vio by @chiarabarzini in our November Issue about fashion, social medias and haters - Photographs by @sarahpiantadosi 💖 Q: ‘How do you experience the world of communication and social media? Has your way of communicating changed too?’ A: ‘I was born in ’97. At first I didn’t want Facebook or Instagram. My sister is five years younger than me and she grew up with it. My nine-year-old cousin was born with an iPad in her hands, and she uses my Instagram account to like footballers. Everything is changing so quickly. I have fun but I know that even if you have lots of followers, it doesn’t mean you’ve made it in life. I don’t live attached to my mobile phone. I’m aware of its positive and negative aspects, and I also read the haters who have written pages against me. But I’ve realised how to deal with it, because I know that’s not the real world. People who write certain things don’t say it to your face in the real world, even if I’d prefer it.’ Keep reading the interview with #BebeVio in our November Issue and today on vogue.it 🌹 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5fgw8hYvh6V8GdcX4Sn8F4bpThMnyjVvUajs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tt8de77va1v8
