Who is the crippled boy and what relationship does he have to Voiello?


Using the last few days of this forum for an answer. Somewhere, along the line, I missed why Voiello is so attached and loving to this particular child.

pretty sure an explanation is never given so guess or use your imagination

Did you see how RUDE he was to the other boy who asked if he could play with his TOY CARS on the RUG???

He told him the RUG COST more than the GPD of his country.

So maybe VOIELLO likes the other boy in the WHEEL CHAIR better because he can't RUIN the RUG or the other things that we see inside of the HOME of VIOELLO???

And he also can't disagree with him like the way the others do that he works with and deals with on a daily basis???

So maybe the BOY who lives with him gives him the SATIFACTION of thinking he's the one IN CONTROL of everything which he doesn't get from the others he interacts with as part of his DAY JOB???

Or maybe he is his oasis, his salvation, the only person in the world without sin, the one that can touch holiness. And Girolamo doesn't live with him.

It's a real mystery. Where does Voiello visit him, and why? The boy has microcephaly and is severely disabled. I believe he is Voiello's son.
