'What will happen to them when I am gone?' • • • • • • • The aunt of a severely disfigured man who was held by the Pope says she fears for him and his sister after she is gone and worries they will never leave the house as she 'makes them feel safe'. Earlier this month Vinicio Riva's picture spread across the world when he was warmly embraced by Pope Francis at one of the pontiff's weekly audiences in St Peter's Square. Mr Riva, from Vicenza in northern Italy, is covered with painful growths, a symptom of his genetic disease neurofibromatosis, and is cared for by his aunt Caterina Lotto. She says she fears for the future of Mr Riva and his sister, Morena, who suffers from a mild form of the disease.

Share Mrs Lotto said that people make cruel comments when the brother and sister venture outside. She said: ' So many times [women] have moved away from him. 'They are scared that it’s infectious. And some of the old women say that he should be shut away. Think cell license key 2015 impala reviews. 'They still have this mentality.

I say “Don’t you have children? Don’t you know that however they are born you have to love them? ‘I worry about Vinicio and Morena and their happiness so much.

When their mother died she asked me to look after them. I would give them my soul if I could. 'I have four children of my own, who are grown up with their own children.

So I have been left with these two little children.’ The rare disease was passed down from Mr Riva's late mother, Rosaria, who died in 2011. The brother and sister both have learning difficulties as a result of their condition and live together in a council apartment in Isola Vicentina, a suburb of Vicenza. Mrs Lotto, 68, has cared for them since and travelled with Mr Riva to the Vatican where he met the Pope.

Mr Riva said t he pontiff's hug was 'like paradise', adding: 'He didn't even think about whether or not to hug me. 'I'm not contagious, but he didn't know that. But he just did it: he caressed me all over my face, and as he did I felt only love.' Family: Vinicio Riva's mother, who died of the genetic disease he suffers from called neorofibramatosis Mr Riva has endured numerous operations on his heart, throat and eyes, and often gets short of breath as a result of his condition.

He suffers from open wounds on his legs that bleed onto his clothes and always wakes wearing a T-shirt covered in blood. Money is a struggle.

The brother and sister exist on a mere 250 euros a month each from their disabled benefits and 150 euros each from their volunteer jobs. There is not a lot of money to spare, but their aunt Caterina helps out with her by giving them part of her pension. Their council house costs just 48 Euro a month but the costs of medicines eat up their meagre wages. Mrs Lotto explained: ‘Their mother left them some money but its gone now. ‘What makes me angry sometimes is that [they have to pay for the] medicine because this is not recognised as a disease. It’s expensive.’ And the situation is going to get worse. A nurse currently visits twice a week to treat Mr Riva but that will be axed from January because of cuts in the Italian health budget.

The family say they feel 'abandoned' by the government. Mrs Lotta said: 'I don't know how I will be able to tend to all Vinicio's medical needs myself.'

The medical problems associated with the disease are many and various. Mr Riva now needs another operation as the tumours have grown over one eye obscuring his vision completely. He explained: ‘I need another operation on my left eye because I cant see out of it. It’s the fifth time that its gone. 'They have to cut the tumours off so I can see again. Then they grow back. We don’t know how quickly though, in a year or less perhaps.
