Marianna Corona, who is the daughter of the famous mountaineer and writer

Marianna Corona is 44 years old, a yoga teacher and passionate about her mountains, (where she was born and still lives) and now also a writer. Marianna is the daughter of Mauro Corona, renowned mountaineer, sculptor, writer, television personality. Marianna's name came into the limelight after the release of her book Flourishing Among the Rocks, which does not talk about her relationship with her father but about her illness.

The Cancer

Marianna indeed discovered she had colon cancer at the age of 38. Initially, the discovery of the disease destabilized her, but then she learned to face it, fight it, and overcome it. Also thanks to her father's teachings. "The cancer had created an internal discomfort. I gradually came out of it, starting to reconsider the body that I felt distant, almost repulsive – the woman confided to Corriere della Sera -. We mountaineers grow up with the teaching that one must always be tough and strong. Like the mountain. It's an imagery that tempers. Before the illness, I felt strong. A strength that came from this paradigm. Instead, I was fragile. I faced the illness on tiptoes, starting from the base without looking at the peak. "Never look at it that gradually you'll get there" my father always told me. The man who passed on to me the passion for the outdoors and sports"

How She Is Doing

"After my pathology in 2017 – Marianna Corona told Bianca Berlingue – now I am well, the colon and intestine cancer has been removed and I underwent six months of chemotherapy, after which I entered monitoring and I do the normal checks that are done for these pathologies, but I am well"..
