After the painful death of Nicolás Avelluto (28), the son of the former Secretary of Culture, Pablo Avelluto, Guido, one of the photographer's brothers and social activist, dedicated a

moving letter to him on his social networks

.

In it he told anecdotes of when he shared recitals with Nicolás (from Charly, The Who, the Guns, the Stones and even Paul McCartney) and the celebration for the passage to the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at the Obelisco.

"How many jokes, how many fights and discussions, how many

Play

matches

in all the games and platforms there have been and how many shared passions, how many board and card games," Guido explained.

And he assured, from the most absolute regret: "What distresses me is knowing that

my two little brothers (2 and 3 years old) are

not going to be able to enjoy all those things with him."

Nicolás Avelluto's brother wrote "in

one of the most distressing days

" of his life and portrayed the experiences they shared, as well as sharing photos together.

Guido relates that Nicolás accompanied him to recitals to "fulfill

his role as an older brother with great love

."

The full letter


"Not long ago I remembered this day as one of the happiest of my life. July 9, 2014, World Cup semifinals. Argentina beat the Netherlands on penalties and I went with my brother, along with my father and his partner, to celebrate to the Obelisk

What could be better than that for an 11 year old?

Almost 7 years later I find myself in

one of the most distressing days of my life

.

It is inevitable to remember that moment, which of course is not the only one.

He was not the only place that accompanied me.

Since we were very young we have gone together to recitals (Charly, The Who, Guns, Stones, Paul McCartney!), Sporting events, meals, and more.

Whenever I was interested in a particular place, I would look

for an excuse to accompany

me, even if I didn't feel like it.

In all these cases, working to

fulfill his role as older brother with much love

.

On my last birthday (18) I received from him: "ehhh happy birthday I think I have to stop saying little brother".

Never.

Those who know me - especially since my childhood - may be remembering an occasion with him,

always with the best humor

.

How many jokes, how many fights and discussions, how many Play matches in all the games and platforms there have been and how many shared passions, how many board and card games (how did you make us lose

this trick tournament in Mendoza

because you forgot? of asking me both!).

A post shared by Guido (@guidoavelluto)

I collect various things.

Most likely it started because

he also

started

with his tickets

.

At the beginning of 2020 I started collecting cans.

When it all happened I went up to the apartment and saw in a corner a pile of separate cans, waiting for me.

In spite of how bad it was to see the tragic scene, it made me smile to see that.

Thanks.

Finally, what distresses me the most is knowing that my two little brothers (2 and 3 years old) are not going to be able to enjoy all those things with him.

However, I also know that in such a short time he

did enough that they will not forget him

.

After writing this, I assumed that due to the context I would have errors in the writing that I am not used to.

I laugh thinking that there is nothing, but absolutely nothing, that would have bothered him less.

He would laugh too.

"He did not answer the calls and, as the family had a key to the house, they went. They found him in the room: he was lying on his bed, face down," explained the sources consulted by

Clarín

.

And they added that in the place "there were no signs of violence or that income had been violated."

For this reason, at first, it transpired that he could have suffered a sudden death.

Former President Mauricio Macri expressed his pain and at the same time announced through social networks the death of Avelluto's son, who headed the Culture portfolio during his tenure.

An immense pain for the death of Nico, the son of Pablo Avelluto.

Dear Pablo, there are no words for such a loss.

I accompany you and your family in this devastating moment.

My strongest hug.

In addition to the message from the former president, other leaders and former officials of Juntos por el Cambio expressed their solidarity with former secretary Avelluto for the death of his son.

The head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, was "shocked" by the death and sent a "heartfelt condolences" to the family.

"What sadness. There are no words in the face of the loss of a son. A big hug from the heart for Pablo Avelluto and his family in this difficult moment," posted Patricia Bullrich, president of PRO.
