- 16:51Due ali, una vita | Elvis Spadoni | TEDxCerviaDobbiamo trovare il coraggio di liberarci per spiccare il nostro vero volo. A 27 anni Elvis Spadoni aveva due ali: una era la sua scelta di diventare prete, l’altra il celibato.Ma quelle ali non erano davvero sue. Si staccavano ogni volta che cercava di volare. Così ha scelto di lasciarle andare. Da quel momento è iniziato per lui un viaggio profondo: dentro se stesso, tra arte, fede e autenticità.Ha imparato che per volare davvero non servono ali imposte, ma quelle che nascono dal coraggio di essere chi siamo davvero.Nato a Urbino nel 1979, Elvis Spadoni ha vissuto un percorso unico: dalla vocazione sacerdotale al mondo dell’arte. Dopo aver lasciato la diocesi di Rimini, dove era diacono, si è formato all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, dedicandosi alla pittura, agli autoritratti e ai temi biblici. Oggi vive a Santarcangelo di Romagna con la moglie Greta e i loro due figli, e continua a raccontare con i suoi quadri la sua personale trasformazione e la forza di accettare se stessi.
