Niccolò's Biography

Niccolò Iglesias Broi was born in Padua on June 22, 2003, the son of Alessandra Broi, an Italian lawyer, and Jorge Iglesias Dominguez Macaya, a Spanish music manager.
He has a sister named Giulia Iglesias Broi, 19 years old, who is currently attending university in Madrid.

Niccolò grew up in Madrid, where he attended kindergarten at L’Escuelita dell’Encinar in Encinar de los Reyes, then the English school Runnymede, and later began elementary school at the bilingual Catholic school “Highlands”.

From an early age he showed himself to be a lively, intelligent, smiling, and very sociable child. He loved playing with toy cars, airplanes, and animals.
He loved sports and played tennis, swam, and played golf.
From a young age he traveled extensively between Italy, his mother’s country, the United States, his paternal grandparents’ country, and all over the world.

At the age of 8, he left Madrid and moved to Cortina d’Ampezzo, where he began competitive skiing with the Sci Club Cortina team. He also learned ice skating, hockey, cross-country skiing, and alpine skiing. He attended elementary school in Cortina and later middle school.

At the age of 13, he moved to Padua, where he attended the third year of middle school at “The English International School of Padua”.
He later enrolled at the scientific high school “Barbarigo”.

At the age of 16, he decided to complete his schooling by starting the final two years in Switzerland at the Swiss boarding school Aiglon College.
He graduated with top honors, which allowed him to be admitted to the prestigious American university Babson College in Boston.
Unfortunately, just a few months after beginning the Business program in the United States, he was forced to interrupt his studies suddenly after being unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumor called DIPG, diagnosed in the United States.
He began a long and difficult battle with the illness, receiving treatment first in Miami, then in Madrid, Brazil, Argentina, and again in the United States, first in New York and then in Miami.
His final treatments took place in Pisa, at a private clinic, where he underwent an experimental treatment.
He passed away in Pisa on February 4, 2024.

He is remembered as a handsome, capable, ambitious, smiling young man who loved life. He was a brilliant student and a sociable person, always surrounded by friends.
From a young age, he began working first as a pizza delivery driver in Padua at a take-away pizzeria, then started designing his own brand of sweatshirts and T-shirts, produced by himself.
He continued his work experience alongside his studies through always innovative entrepreneurial activities, including investments in bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and the creation of motivational Instagram pages.
He loved the spiritual world and regarded Joe Dispenza as his mentor and guide, following him on many retreats around the world.
He read books and collected motivational videos, which are still stored on his computer today.
In May 2023, he was invited by his Swiss boarding school to speak in front of the students about his personal journey during his illness, a speech that highlighted his communication skills and his ability to motivate and spread a positive, resilient vision of life in order to face adversity.
During his illness, in November 2024, he founded a foundation in the United States to help children with cancer and raised more than $100,000 in just one month, once again demonstrating his human qualities.

In May 2024, an award was established in his honor at Aiglon College, to be given every year to the student who best demonstrates the qualities of perseverance, determination, and positivity that characterized Niccolò.
At Babson College University, he was remembered in a book honoring the most outstanding students.

His loss will remain immeasurable and has left a great void, but his memory will be carried forward with the utmost commitment by his family, through this foundation which, as has been said, was envisioned and created by him before his passing.
