Hi, I'm Valerio 🇮🇹
Founder of Ricorderai.it • Bolt.new Hackathon Participant
💔 The Story That Changed Everything
On February 26, 2024, my father passed away after a brief illness. He was my best friend, my mentor, and the voice of wisdom in my life. That day, something inside me broke irreparably.
Ao! Che volete! Co l'affitto che me posso permette, questo è!
— Dad, referring to his hospital room when colleagues asked when he would 'free up' the room (in the sense of going home)
In the days and weeks that followed, friends and relatives repeatedly asked me if I had audio or video recordings of my father. They wanted to hear his voice again, see him laugh, hear him tell one of his stories. But I had so little to share.
Then I discovered a shocking statistic: every day, about 150,000 people die worldwide. That's 150,000 families who are starting the same painful journey I embarked on. And many, as I discovered, wish to maintain a connection with their loved ones.
I didn't need this myself, as the memories are vivid, but I understood that many people needed it. After so many people reached out to me, I wanted to create this as a gift. That's how Ricorderai.it was born - from my personal loss and the desire to help others preserve and honor the memories of their loved ones through conversations that never end.
