[00:00–00:09]
[Shots of the Etna Park in Sicily. Jacopo Gullà and Vanni Oddera get into a Jeep and Jacopo takes the wheel.]
[00:10]
Vanni: Jacopo, how would you describe yourself in two words?
[00:12]
Jacopo: A guy who’s got everything he needs.
[00:14]
Vanni: What happened to your leg?
[00:15]
Jacopo: I lost it in a motorcycle accident, when a car cut me off coming out of a stop sign.
[00:21]
Vanni: And how do you experience motorcycles now?
[00:22]
Jacopo: On the track. I paradoxically became a para-athlete rider after the accident, and I live life between one braking point and the next.
[00:30]
Vanni: What drives you to push the throttle, in racing and in life?
[00:35]
Jacopo: Well, in racing it’s competing with myself, and in life, my son.
[00:39]
Vanni: It’s clear you’re passionate about motorcycles, but what about cars?
[00:42]
Jacopo: Absolutely. Today, the car is essential—it allows me to go anywhere, whenever I want, and above all wherever I want.
[00:51]
Vanni: What’s your biggest wish?
[00:52]
Jacopo: To normalize disability.
[00:54]
Vanni: I get it—I’ve been fighting for this for 14 years. What is life to you?
[00:59]
Jacopo: For me, life is ups and downs.
[01:02]
Vanni: Perfect—things look better from the top. So, are you ready for something very, very special?
[01:07]
Jacopo: I can’t wait.
[01:08–01:25]
[Jacopo and Vanni go downhill riding in the Etna Park, pedaling among volcanic rocks. Then the car is seen setting off again.]
