At Aria, we don't just believe in the value of ultralight wheelchairs; we believe in the people who use them. That's why we're proud to announce our collaboration with the extraordinary content creator Riccardo Aldighieri. His story isn't just a tale of success, but a tribute to determination and the ability to overcome every obstacle... with a smile!
Riccardo Aldighieri’s Story: The power of a smile
Riccardo Aldighieri, known on social media as Riccardo Aldi, is a content creator who has turned his cerebral palsy into his greatest strength. His motto is: "turn your weakness into your strength". Although, like everyone, he has his difficult moments, he has learned to flip situations on their head to turn them into something unique and unrepeatable.
In his interview, Riccardo stresses that no one should feel like a mere observer of someone else's life and that everyone has the right to achieve their own personal fulfillment. His greatest success has been on social media, where he has managed to talk about his life and his difficulties, turning them into something extraordinary. His "normal" life, for many, is something extraordinary, and showing it can inspire so many people. Furthermore, the support he receives every day motivates him to find new stimulation and overcome new challenges.
Aria Speciale: an “all-gold” wheelchair
When we began talking about this collaboration with Riccardo, our goal was clear: not just to create a wheelchair, but an extension of his personality. For him, we chose the
Aria Speciale wheelchair, which is fully customizable and designed for those who, like him, don't accept compromises. Riccardo chose this model for its lightness—a key feature for his autonomy—and its distinctive design with clean lines and extensive customisation options.
The result is a wheelchair with a dazzling all-gold frame and wheels, which we designed to make it "as trap as possible". At his request, we also added a postural backrest to provide additional support and comfort, as well as an anti-tipping system to prevent falls.
A new adventure companion
Our collaboration with Riccardo Aldighieri demonstrates that a wheelchair can be much more than just a mobility aid; it can become a reflection of your personality and a vehicle for achieving new goals. Just like Riccardo, you can design your own custom wheelchair, choosing every detail, from the frame and wheels to the colour.
