Five years ago Giraldelli Family was waiting for their joy, the one they named Enzo, to be born. When the boy finally made it into this world, his parents were astounded by their son’s beauty, including the Congenital birthmark on boy’s face.

Since day 1, Enzo’s parents made a promise to themselves – never to disguise the unique feature of their child but to embrace his distinctiveness as much as they can.

Carolina said she first realized something was different about her son due to the “frightened” looks on medics’ faces.

The Giraldelli family was informed that Enzo’s feature is harmless and is called ‘Congenital Melanocytic Nevi’

It is a skin condition characterized by a patch of unusually dark skin composed of melanocytes, which produce pigment.

“Even though it is not easy, my husband and I act normally, and we will always show him as he is.” Carolina also confessed that, “For some time, it was very difficult to see and feel the eyes of society flickering my son with looks of pity, contempt, fear, and sometimes disgust.”

The mother also hired a makeup artist to duplicate Enzo’s birthmark on her face to celebrate his individuality

Carolina recalls, “When I got home, Enzo’s reaction was a complete joy — even though he did not completely understand it.”

The pride of being a mother of such a special child encouraged Carolina to celebrate Mother’s Day in a different and unique, just like Enzo is, way

She wore this makeup all day to fully grasp the prejudice her kid experiences; as she recalls it, “Several people looked at me with many different looks, but I was very calm because I felt like the proudest mother in the world.”
