What some people do, you cannot even imagine doing yourself. Just like Italian Fulvia Pellegrino. Fulvia has had, which is impossible to miss, an innumerable amount of cosmetic surgery and the result is an absolute catastrophe. But if you think that you already know this story, you're sorely mistaken. Unfortunately there is a sad story of misfortune behind this woman.
Fulvia grew up with 2 brothers and, as her father is a strict catholic, was raise with a strong religious background. But even as a teenager, she could feel that she was different from how she looked on the outside. Fulvia was born a man and was called Fulvio. Secretly however, he wished for nothing more than to be a woman.
Out of fear for his family, he did everything he could to become a 'real' man. He went hunting, drank himself to excess and even bought an expensive luxury car.
At 24, Fulvio met Dr Marisa. The couple got married and Fulvio continued on with his show. But whenever it was possible, he would dress up and wear make up. He regularly visited gay clubs and did everything he could to keep his double life a secret.
After 16 years masquerading, Fulvio couldn't handle his life as a man any longer. It was clear to him that he had to speak with his wife, whom he'd kept in the dark for so long.
Fulvio confessed to Marisa that he wanted to undergo a sex change. His duped wife is completely shocked. But within a short time and with the help of a psychologist, she finds the strength to forgive her husband.
She stayed with him and supported him through all hurdles. In order to realise his plan, Fulvio sold all of his weapons, cars and even his house. But he didn't just pay the material price, he also lost his family and friends. When his father found out he even tried to have his son admitted into a psychiatric hospital.
Maybe it was this rejection that led to Fulvio not realising the correct measures.. After 4 breast enlargements, 2 liposuctions, nose jobs, and 150 lip and cheek injections he is no longer recognisable - Fulvio at 56 years old, is now Fulvia.
Her biggest goal is to look like the American, transsexual porn star, Allanah Starr. However, it is far from over: "I still want to have more operations, because I'm not perfect. Perhaps then I will stop."
Because of her beauty obsession, Fulvia is in both social and financial debt. In total, she has spent around $75000 for her operations, a sum, with which most could buy a small house. In her hometown she gets treated like a leper. People whisper about her and make up stories saying that she works as a prostitute. She couldn't even go to her father's funeral.
Despite everything, Marisa stayed with her. "Today, Marisa and I are nothing more than sisters. Maria is not homosexual and won't sleep with me any more. Even though I still have my male organs. But due to the feminine hormones that I take, it doesn't function any more."
Marisa holds on adamantly to Fulvia and cares for both of their incomes, becomes Fulvia has lost everything.
Who the real hero is in this absurd story, you'll need to consider for yourself. Everything that Fulvia won through her operations, she had to give up in others ways. Nevertheless, Marisa stayed by her side and never left, she even sacrificed herself. And all this because Fulvia couldn't be the person that she wanted to be. SHARE Fulvia's shocking story.
