Michela Murgia got married civilly: "I go in and out of the hospital, I no longer take anything for granted"
The writer, suffering from stage four cancer, is now the wife of Lorenzo Terenzi: «If we had had another way to guarantee each other's rights, we would never have resorted to such a patriarchal and limited instrument»«A few days ago Lorenzo and I got married civilly».
Michela Murgia surprisingly announces the wedding, which took place in a civil court in Rome, with Lorenzo Terenzi, 35 years old, an actor graduated from the Teatro Stabile in Genoa, director and musician.
"We did it "in articulo mortis" because every day there is a different physical complication, I go in and out of the hospital and now we no longer take anything for granted ", explains the writer from Cabras, who revealed a few months ago that she has stage four renal cell carcinoma . “In articulo mortis” refers to actions performed by a person in danger of life.
«We did it reluctantly - adds Murgia, 51, who in fact writes in the video "It's not a party" - if we had had another way to guarantee each other's rights we would never have resorted to such a patriarchal and limited instrument , which it forces us to reduce a much richer and stronger experience to the representation of the couple, where the number 2 is the opposite of who we are. No wishes, therefore, because the ritual we would have liked does not yet exist. But it will exist and we want to help bring it to life».
«In a few days in the garden of the house still moving - he continues - we will give life to our idea of celebrating the queer family. Our promises will not be what we were forced to make the other day. We want to share it in our own way and we will do it from this profile, without journalists or various media. Our personal experience, like that of all3, today is more political than ever and if I could leave a symbolic legacy, I would like it to be this: another model of relationship, one more for those who have had to fight in life always feeling something less ».
