Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.
San Patrignano gives each young person
that arrives the possibility to chose their
own field of professional training, allowing
them to follow their interests so that they
may nurture their talents with passion,
determination and responsibility.
It is this spirit which brought the first
workshops to life, those tied to farming,
animal husbandry, food and wine
production.
These traditional crafts create a perfect
training ground for young people coming
into the Community, who have a need to
be inspired and to believe in what they do.
Through the help of master artisans who
share their experience, knowledge, culture,
and professionalism, our young people
learn to be the very best: something crucial
to gaining self esteem and independence.
These artisans are our friends and allies,
helping us help people rebuild their lives
free from drugs.

Bilancio di Missione.SanPatrignano.
Our aim is to make them into men. Through cheese.
I felt at home as soon as I arrived here. I didn’t think that I’d find such a vibrant community,
which was a like a family at the same time. At San Patrignano I’ve understood that
the more time I spend with the young residents, the more I get back from it.It’s like going to a fountain: you drink and you go away. It is a fool who fails to realise the
importance of the water you drink. I drink fresh water every day and it quenches my thirst.
I do everything possible so that this fresh water of youth is always there inside me and
continues to gush. I once met a old man by a mountain spring. He said to me, “Everybody
drinks here, yet nobody asks themselves where it comes from”. That’s something you’ll only
ask when it’s not there any more. That’s what I think about San Patrignano.
We will only realise its importance should it no longer exist.
Too few people realise not only how much love and charity exists here, as well as how many
stories there are about young residents who have found their way in life again, in addition to
how much awareness is involved in helping people become adults.
The cheeses that we make are our babiesWe love them because they’re not born every day. Ours isn’t any old squacquerone cheese
it’s “THE squacquerone”. The quality stems from a lengthy process. There’s a need to check
the provenance of the livestock and their stabling, the quality of life of the animals, what they
eat and how they are milked, and the transportation and processing of the milk in the briefest
possible times. The maturation and ageing comes right at the end. There are 43 young
cheesemakers in training.
Vittorio Beltramimaster cheesemaker and affineur
It’s a process that could go on forever; as you nurture it, it grows and rises, and you give it
the form you want. The dough, made from flour and yeast, is like a person who begins to
live and evolve. In the end, it dies, but only to create some breathing space and to give new
life to another dough, then the process begins again.
Making bread is a bit like nurturing a living being.
This is the very magic of our art. Working with a living substance like yeast helps you to find your strength of character. The
young Community residents know that, in bread making, everything relies on them.
I started working as a baker at the age of 20. I needed to work to be the breadwinner, as the
saying goes. It was a chance decision, with which I ended up falling in love. Now I’m 46, and
five years ago I came here to develop the bakery workshop. Lots of people talk about bread,
but only a few people really know about it. We work with ingredients and raw materials that
change all the time.
The variables are endless:the flour selection, how much water is added to the dough, when salt is added, the final
temperature, and the shape given to the bread, which I regard as fundamental. In particular, it
is important that it’s handled in the right way prior to leavening. It’s not easy. The individual
and a person’s sensibility become fundamental in this.
This is an art that cannot be underestimated. For me, the baker is a great artisan; he makes
products that possess a soul. This is why I’d like to combine the kitchen and the cake and
bread bakeries and set up a school at San Patrignano.
Giuliano Pediconimaster of bread crafting
My love for baking was handed down to me by my Mum. At home we had a wood-burning
stove and, twice a week, she would bake cakes. She would give a piece of dough to my brother
and I, and I would play, making a sun out of the leavened dough. I later went to catering college
in Nocera Inferiore and Salsomaggiore on my own when I was 16. I lived in a bedsit. It’s not
easy to wake up in the morning without having your Mum there to make your breakfast. I know
from experience what it means to be far from home and having to deal with problems every day.
Cakes allowed me to express my creativity. You can do that with all cuisine, but through cakes
you can surprise and wow people. Gualtiero Marchesi once said to me that
One of my dreams was to be an artist, I loved creating things.
in life you have to learn how to take one step at a time.If you miss one, you can get by regardless, but you’ll be missing out on something. So you
need to know how to do everything before exploring it further. From Massimiliano Alajmo’s
mother, my first three stars, I learnt strictness, tidiness and cleanliness. From Marchesi, in some
ways, dogged determination: for me, he’s a young person inside an old person’s body. He has a
fast mindset, everything he says ends up coming true. What did I really miss out on in all this
experience? I hold my hands up: human relations. I devote so much to my work that it ends
up becoming my home. This partly explains why I’m here. It might seem trite, but when I saw
the sea and hills I said to myself, “Perhaps this is the place for me”. Everyone knew about San
Patrignano except for me. They talked about Vincenzo and I said, “Who’s Vincenzo?”.
My nickname is “Franchino Sensation”. My baking is very natural, clear, clean and light. It
consists of many elements you manage to distinguish when they reach your palate because
they complement each other. I like to stimulate all the senses, playing with colours.
Being here is like going into a toy shop and being a child again.
Franco Alibertipastry chef
I met Vincenzo in 1979. I was working as a farrier on a farm where he’d got some horses. I
started coming here to help him. Back then the Community was just a big cottage with some
surrounding land. I always got on well with him. I remember one time, when he’d sent me to
Palermo because Avenir had a problem with a leg. He said to me, “I’ll send you a car and a
driver. I want you alone to do it. You must only work for us””.
Our job is hard work. Our job is hard work. It takes time, attention
and patience; it’s not like saying putting two and two together makes four. Passion is the most
important ingredient of all. I have a tremendous passion for horses, which comes from my family.
My grandfather was a farrier, as well as my father, cousin and uncle. Horses are all very different
to one another, as, too, are their hooves. It’s a bit like people and their sizes. Then there are the
ailments. Some have flat feet, some are crenellated, some have bones that are too close to one
another and need lifting. There are many types of shoe: aluminium alloy is the lightest, whereas
iron weighs a ton. Today precise x-rays exist, which give you certain indications. The vet is the one
who makes the decision, but I’m a vet too in some ways. I feel the foot using pincers and when I
realise that pressing a certain point hurts, then I model the shoe on the anvil. For the horse it’s a
necessary evil.
Once upon a time, the vulnerable animals were eaten by wolves. It’s not like that any
more; factories make shoes in all sizes. For a trotting or galloping horses, two millimetres
alone make a difference. For jumpers, lameness is the problem, which is why I add a silicon
insole. It’s like a buffer. Horses don’t speak; they can’t tell you where it hurts. I tell the young
residents of the Community that there’s no such thing as too much experience and that you never stop learning. Although they’ve made mistakes in life, I get to know them straight away: I have children myself.
These people are better than others. They always help me. How come I get all the good ones?
Augusto Battistinifarrier
Bilancio di Missione.SanPatrignano.
There are lots of things here at San Patrignano that I’m unable to explain.
They just happen and I accept things the way they stand. I think that I got on well with the young
residents from the word “go”, which has led me to have not a humanitarian, but a human relationship
with them. I’m certain that I get more out of it than I give. I was sceptical when I first arrived. I thought
that Rimini, somewhere I was unfamiliar with, would be flat. I thought Sangiovese wines were without
personality, character and body back then. I was forced to think again..
What influences me is that element you feel in San Patrignano that I haven’t been able to decipher as yet. One could call it God or Mother Nature. I identify
it as something that, seeing the hard work that people put into changing, allows whoever it
is who watches over us to be benevolent and create fewer problems. In short, I can state with
mathematical certainty that the results that I obtain cannot be achieved in any other company
in the world. Call it what you will, but this is the result: there is no Sangiovese (and I’m not the
only one who says this) like the Sangiovese of the San Patrignano Community, and there is no
Bordeaux grape that gives results like the ones that we achieve here.
With the young residents working in the cellar, we understand one another without even looking at each other. We understand one another so well that they could make better wine than many established
experts and I could help them only over the phone. To date our wine hasn’t been its absolute best
and I don’t think that will ever happen. There are two factors that have an impact on our goals:
nature, as we can’t change the climate, and the continually evolving market. This is why we try to
improve the quality and create new products every year. Our aim isn’t to make the best wine in
Romagna, which would be limiting our ambitions; we want to make San Patrignano wine.
Riccardo Cotarellawine-making expert
I don’t regard myself as someone who’s superior to others, therefore I try to
understand how come I have a different way of looking at things compared to
what seems to be today’s way of doing things. In other words, I have sought to
look at the family situations of others in order to find out whether the cause of
a similar derailment lies with the parents or children. I made these efforts also
because I do not accept the idea that blame may be put down to an impersonal
society. It would be too easy, too absolving for everyone to claim that the blame
lies with society or the system, as if the people who are part of it count for
absolutely nothing, as if we are all mere onlookers in our lives. No. I believe
in individual responsibility, in our ability to decide and choose, and to make
mistakes, too, of course.
Transforming society.Drugs, and their diffusion, are not the reason why I created San Patrignano.
I am not here to treat drug addiction. I help people to kick their hellish drug
habit to be sure, but I do it in the knowledge that drugs are the endgame of a
life full of hardships. This hardship may be fuelled by arguments or sink into a
stupid, passive consumerism, but what remains is still the deep-rooted cause
of maladjustment that we have to reckon with. We have to reckon with it not
only to assist those who ask for help, but also to better understand and seek to
transform the society in which we live, and in which each of us is an important
and irreplaceable part.
Real freedom.I hope that one day there will be a world without drugs and, hence, without drug
addicts. I neither know if this is a achievable goal nor if I will ever see it happen.
The only thing I am sure of is we will not close our doors if that day comes; on
the contrary, San Patrignano will still have excellent grounds to carry on its work.
There will always be a role for a residential community that has no illusions of
becoming an ideal city, but merely a place of passage, where the individuals,
whom society has deemed waste, outcasts and misfits may learn to enjoy the
freedom of citizens, to go back to being positive elements in the society that once
rejected and poisoned them.

WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?
Partnerships across the world.International institutions, civil society, anti-drug centers.
Images of international events in the Community. Here below, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus, visits San Patrignano
The new year begins with the visit
of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yu-
nus, accompanied by Hans Reitz,
founder of the Grameen Creative
Lab, European branch of the Yunus
Center. The prominent guests were
in Europe attending the World Eco-
nomic Forum in Davos. The visit to
San Patrignano served to strengthen
the already strong ties between the
community and the Grameen Bank.
In 2010, San Patrignano received hun-
dreds of visitors from dozens of coun-
tries around the world. These not only
include representatives of organiza-
tions and bodies that fight drug addic-
tion, but non-profits engaged in issues
such as homelessness, mental health
and those working with at risk youth.
Many organizations are keen to learn
more about the educational model
created by San Patrignano, and would
like to integrate and implement some
of the founding principles in their re-
habilitation centers, whether already
running or in the planning stages.
Among the many countries represent-
ed this year: Canada, UK, France, Co-
lombia, Sweden, Russia and Romania.
A Georgian delegation, led by the par-
liamentarian George Tseretely, and
accompanied by TV crews, undertook
a three day study trip in June 2010.
In the process of developing projects
related to our work with the UNODC
(United Nations Office on Drugs and
Crime) on demand reduction and
promoting alternatives to illicit crops
in producing countries, we have es-
tablished close-knit partnerships in
the Far East, South America and Asia.
In September 2010 a delegation from
San Patrignano visited Kabul and
Herat in Afghanistan in order to see
first hand the local organizations that
convert illicit opium fields into saffron,
dried fruits, and mint, supported by
the Italian Foreign Ministry. Moreo-
ver, San Patrignano is supporting
alternative livelihoods in Colombia
through a joint project with Domori (a
renowned chocolate company owned
by the Illy group) and the UNODC
in Colombia. The aim is to empower
former coca farmers who had cou-
rageously chosen to give up drug
cultivation, breaking their chains of
slavery to the drug lords. Every year
the community receives social work-
ers, university students and local
government representatives from
Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Fin-
land and Norway), which have a keen
interest in the San Patrignano model.
Throughout the year the relationship
with both North America (Canada
and USA) and Latin America (Co-
lombia and Peru) is getting stronger
through the creation of joint projects.
Moreover, as a non-governmental or-
ganization with Special Consultative
Status on Drugs with the United Na-
tions Social and Economic Council,
San Patrignano is in constant contact
with the UNODC, which has its main
headquarters in Vienna, Austria. A
delegation from San Patrignano regu-
larly takes part in international meet-
ings on drug issues and participates
in the annual Commission on Nar-
cotic Drugs, the United Nations func-
tional commission with the mandate
on international drug policies. Thanks
to this important collaboration a
member of San Patrignano delegation
was elected to as a Board Member in
the Vienna NGO Committee on Nar-
cotic Drugs. The United Nations rec-
ognized the social value and the deep
engagement of the community in the
fight against drugs, granting an ad
hoc patronage to two major events:
Squisito! and WeFree, entirely organ-
ized and hosted by San Patrignano.

HOW ARE YOU STRUCTURED?
A dynamic organization.Democracy and transparency. A balance sheet for all to see.
In the pursuit of its mission, San Patrignano and its stakeholders respect both criteria of democracy and transparency in its daily work and medium and long term strategies. All those interested in life in the Community are given information about the decision-making process, and the objectives of every part of the organization.
The San Patrignano Foundation.
“The San Patrignano Foundation is
a not for profit organization. Its aims
rest exclusively within the realm of so-
cial solidarity.”
In summary, article 2 of the Founda-
tion’s Statute reads:
a) to provide adequate economic and
structural support, principally by the
provision of goods and financial re-
sources free of charge, for initiatives
aiming to rehabilitate people af-
fected by social marginalization, in
particular those suffering from drug
addiction, by offering social reha-
bilitation programmes, the ultimate
aim of which is full and professional
re-integration into society;
b) to provide the same support as
above to the health care initiatives
provided in the multi-purpose
Medical Centre to those infected
with HIV-AIDS or other disorders
connected with drug abuse;
c) to promote, subsidize, finance and
encourage studies and research in
social and medical fields focusing on
drug abuse/addiction, with regard
to prevention and the treatment of
disorders related to social marginali-
zation, as well as rehabilitation and
social re-integration programmes;
d) to promote initiatives designed to
ensure greater awareness in so-
ciety through the provision of in-
formation, with the aim also of at-
tracting participants and support
for Foundation projects;
e) to support any other objectives
connected to the above (…) within
the exclusive realm of social soli-
darity.
San Patrignano Community Non–profit ONLUS Association.
This is the heart of the San Patrigna-
no Community. “It promotes social,
cultural and professional training
activities and educational support
initiatives in the recovery of indi-
viduals suffering from any type of
social alienation. This is carried out
in a free and democratically self-
managed facility, which predomi-
nantly benefits from personal and
healthcare services rendered by vol-
unteers or offered free of charge by
recovering residents themselves.”
(Art. 2)
The ultimate goal is to assist disad-
vantaged people re-integrate into
society with constant respect of the
principles of personal freedom and
dignity, as well as the right to confi-
dentiality.
San Patrignano Consortium Social Cooperative
The main objective (Art. 4) is to “set
up and improve technical, adminis-
tration and management services,
legal and human resources, com-
mercial and planning activities by
centralising the necessary proce-
dures and hardware and software
technologies developed in house or
externally, for use by members and
the entire ‘San Patrignano Society’.
The nature of “service” provided by
the consortium is clear and the latter
remains a mutual, non-profit organi-
zation. (Art. 3)
San Patrignano Products & Services Social Cooperative
This cooperative supports a large part
of the workshop activities that take
place at San Patrignano, highlighting its
approach based on mutual assistance
and launching all the creative work al-
lowed under the Statute.
San Patrignano Social Cooperative Trentino Alto Adige Branch
This branch of the Community sup-
ports many of the workshops at San
Patrignano as well as a few that are
directly related to its Alpine location
(cultivation of plants, flowers and
berries). A further activity includes
the production of bicycles and cycle
frames. (Art. 4)
San Patrignano Farm Social Cooperative
This cooperative supports all the ac-
tivities (Art. 4) relating to:
• agriculture with particular focus on:
a) sowable crops and fodder, b)
viticulture, c) olive growing, d)
fruit, and e) herbs;
• market gardening, using climate-
controlled greenhouses, and
mushroom growing;
• forestry including reforestation
and improvement of woodlands;
• animal husbandry, including the
repopulation of native wildlife, as
well as snail breeding and other
activities connected to the pro-
cessing of agricultural and animal
products, and animal breeding in-
cluding horses and related eques-
trian activities.
Governance
In compliance with the principle of
transparency, internal and external
audits are regularly carried out at
San Patrignano to check compliance
with its benchmark values and the
adequacy of procedures. As far as
external auditing is concerned, the
yearly financial statements are au-
dited by PriceWaterhouse Coopers,
a top ranked external auditing body.
Internal audits are carried out by a
Board of Statutory Auditors which
constantly monitors compliance with
procedures and institutional, finan-
cial and administrative-accounting
regulations and laws.

San Patrignano is a community that
welcomes young men and women,
free from ideological, social or reli-
gious discrimination and completely
free of charge, that is, without pub-
lic subsidies or financial contribu-
tions from those undertaking the
recovery programme, their families
or the State. Established with the
foundation of the Community, this
approach comes from a vision of vol-
unteer commitment as a free service
to persons experiencing problems. It
is fundamental that every young per-
son welcomed into the Community
understands the disinterested nature
of the support given to him/her. He/
she should feel like he/she is at the
very centre of his/her programme
and wholeheartedly contribute to it,
taking full responsibility for it.
The funds that are used to serve San
Patrignano’s residents, needs, and fa-
cilities derive, in fairly even percent-
ages, from Community activities and
the goods and services it produces
under a system of self-management,
and from donations and contribu-
tions from private individuals and
companies that share its human and
social objectives.
Fundraising thus plays an essential
role, both in day-to-day operations
and in developing activities and initi-

atives to improve the Community’s
facilities and the services it can of-
fer residents. Many projects have
been implemented with the help
and support of civil society. Each
project starts and develops with an
emotional and cultural attachment
to the Community. People and cor-
porations alike visit San Patrignano,
recognise the harmony of the place
and the transparency of its opera-
tions and decide to participate and
support a given project that, over
time, will become self-sufficient and
continue on its own. By statute, the
Community does not accept any
support from the families of our
members, who have, in almost all
cases, already been damaged eco-
nomically by their loved one’s drug
addiction.
Donations.Since its foundation, San Patrig-
nano has existed in part through
the support of all the friends who
have shared its commitment, as-
pirations, achievements and dif-
ficulties. San Patrignano does
not accept any payment from the
young people who undertake the
recovery programme, nor from
their families, who are already
suffering because of their chil-
dren’s drug problem.
Moreover, there is no public subsi-
dization for their stay at the Com-
munity. On the other hand, private
individuals and companies can
make donations and bequests to
San Patrignano. The funds that
are raised are used to support and
implement its services and daily
activities, which generate consider-
able expenses every year.
Charity Auctions
These are charity events that in-
volve institutions, corporations and
private benefactors, supporters of
San Patrignano’s mission.
The funds raised during the Milan
event in November 2010 were allo-
cated to:
1) “Un calcio alla droga”: a fundrais-
ing project aimed at concluding
the creation of a football field in
synthetic grass (with relative ac-
cessories and facilities) within the
Community;
2) the development and reinforce-
ment of professional training ac-
tivities aimed at facilitating the job
placement of the young residents,
once they have completed their
personal recovery programmes.
Fondazione BNL

The invaluable partnership with
Fondazione BNL also continued in
2010, benefiting the Community’s

ued to be installed in different de-

IT development
Thanks to the financial support and
backing of FASEN (ENI workers in-
tegration fund), a series of joint initi-
atives have been carried out over the
years, aimed at the drug addiction
prevention and recovery of family
members of group employees.
The partnership also continued in
2010.
BRACCO and “Una casa per crescere”
The funding provided by BRACCO
for 2010 was used for the Study
Centre, so that an ever-growing
number of young people can go
back to school, undertaking cours-
es of study that have often been
interrupted or not even begun due
to drug addiction. Education is a
fundamental part of the recovery
programme’s success, in a view to
future reintegration into society
and the workforce.

HOW DOES ONE ENTER?
There are two main ways to gain admittance to
San Patrignano:
• Through the network of voluntary associations
throughout Italy bearing links to the Community.
These are made up of parents, volunteers and
people who have recovered from drug addiction.
Their role is to collect the requests for help, sup-
port addicts in their desire to change, help them
become clean and advise families about how
best to support them. These voluntary associa-
tions also operate within the prison system, giv-
ing those imprisoned for drug-related crimes the
possibility to access alternative sentencing in the
Community.
• Through direct contact with San Patrignano by
email or post. In certain cases, especially if the
request comes from abroad, preliminary contact
may be made via internet. It is important that the
correspondence gives details not only about the

This determination is further explored in a pre-

is held with the Community manager before the
person joins the Community.

When young people ask us for help, we never look at the bad things that they have done to themselves or others because of their problem. We look at the good things they are capable of doing.

HOW DOES ONE ENTER?
Over the years, through the efforts of thou-sands of families and recovered addicts who have completed their rehabilitation programme inside the community, we have developed a network of anti-drug vol-unteer associations in Italy that works in close contact with San Patrignano.
They are asked to carry out a three-fold task: to be a contact providing motivation-al support and counselling for those who wish to begin a recovery programme; to support and monitor those who have fin-ished their recovery program and are be-ing professionally and socially re-integrat-ed into society; and to disseminate knowl-edge and awareness about drugs through prevention and information campaigns.
A fundamental role of the associations is to involve residents’ families in their fam-ily member’s educational programme through weekly meetings and discussion groups in order to prepare for successful recovery and re-integration into society.
Family participation is on a voluntary ba-sis. No form of monetary contribution is called for aside from a symbolic member-ship fee.

The recovery program at the Commu-nity is completely free of charge for both residents and their families. What we ask from people seeking admission is the de-termination to kick drugs for good, and the willingness to grow and change.
San Patrignano is an apolitical, biparti-san and secular Community, although it shares the profound social and Chris-tian principles on which it was founded.
Treatment is completely free of charge for residents and their families. Even though San Patrignano operates in conjunction with public anti-drug serv-ices, it does not accept any government funding for the young people’s accom-modation and stay in the Community.
There is no standard recovery time
at the Community, since individuals
are all different and have their own
problems, experiences and person-
alities. A diversified method suits the
diverse problems that need solving.
People who come to San Patrignano
are immediately involved in a life of
responsible, active, open, and commit-
ted human relationships, with support
from educators and other residents
who have already gone through the
same problems and are on their way to
overcoming them.
Every person, is in fact guided, during
the initial period of their stay, by other
residents who have reached a more
advanced stage of their recovery. The
role of this mentor - and of the work-
group that residents are subsequently
assigned to - is to ease the impact with
this new world and support their mo-
tivation in overcoming any tension or
difficulties, while encouraging a posi-
tive attitude towards change. Through
social interaction, professional training,
study, sports, and recreational activities,
each person gradually learns to apply
universally acknowledged human
values such as dignity, honesty, respon-
sibility, and mutual support, together
with the people around them, until
these become fundamental principles
of their own lives. This takes place in
neither an automatic nor linear way,
but through a demanding programme
marked by periods of adjustment and
acceleration, as part of a context called
“environmental therapy” in sociologi-
cal terms. Visits of family members to
San Patrignano are scheduled based on
the level of maturity demonstrated by
residents and their capacity to confront
Every story is unique.A person-centered program.
HOW DOES ONE ENTER?
significant problems with the aware-
ness and responsibility they war-
rant. Since the Community takes a
pedagogical/educational approach,
it is not in a position to admit people
with psychiatric problems that
would require medical/psychiatric,
pharmacological or containment
care, and whose situation would
therefore not be compatible with the
goals of our program.
Reintegration into the workforce is an
increasingly difficult challenge, not
just because of the current recession,
but because of the failure of training
courses to meet the real needs of the
labour market. Today, everyone who
successfully completes the pro-
gramme already has a job when they
leave the Community. Very often, if
there are no opportunities for reinte-
gration in businesses run by their fam-
ily of origin, they find work in a field
they trained in at the Community:
as carpenters, electricians, decora-
tors, farmers, caterers, events organ-
izers, communication professionals
or graphic designers. It is therefore
essential for San Patrignano to con-
stantly update its expertise, facilities,
and training courses, especially given
the steady decrease in the average age
of residents, their higher level of edu-
cation, and their evolving interests.
One need only think of the impact
of technology in all its forms, of
increasingly creative and innovative
activities, and the need to have not
only suitable working environments
but cutting-edge equipment. Not to
mention the many professionals that
the Community must engage to add
depth to the array of training oppor-
tunities offered to its residents.

San Patrignano è sempre stata, al di
là delle sue dimensioni e complessità,
una grande famiglia. Si mangia tutti
insieme, ognuno al tavolo con le per-
sone con cui condivide la giornata.
In the large dining room, residents
have an opportunity to meet up and
to get to know each other. The room
was designed to create the harmony
and serenity of a family home, where
everyone can feel comfortable. Meals
are served by residents themselves on
a rotating basis so that everyone takes
a turn in serving the others.
Menus are prepared by residents
studying culinary sciences, and are
based on sound nutritional principles
and the importance of a healthy, well
balanced diet.
The kitchens prepare on average
2,000 meals per day, as well as break-
fast and snacks throughout the day.
Some facts & figures on food con-
sumption to give an idea of the size of
operations: 100kg of bread and 140 kg
of pasta per day, when meat is served,
some 120 kg of meat per meal. Two
main menus are offered, varying from
700 to 1000 calories per type, plus
‘special’ menus for those with aller-
gies or who are on diets for medical
reasons.
We would like to thank ULIVETO
mineral water and BANCO ALIMEN-
TARE food bank for their support.

Images of the facilities available to the public for concerts, fairs, and sporting events. In 2010, almost 40,000 people attended events at San Patrignano.
The facilities created over the years
to meet the social and cultural needs
of Community residents have also
become venues for concerts, confer-
ences, sporting and other events, and
international meetings.
SanPa space.
Width: 28,032 m
Length: 76,00 m
Height: 10,50 m
Total surface area: 2128 m2
The facility is divided into three sepa-
rate areas:
• a multi-purpose auditorium for host-
ing events and cultural activities;
• a gymnasium for sporting and recreation;
• service rooms, changing rooms, re-
strooms and locker rooms.
The service area separates the other
two areas and acts as a sound-proof
barrier between the two, permitting
their simultaneous use. Two entirely
different events can take place with-
out any type of interference.
The auditorium has 800 seats and
400 places to sit in the stands. The
gymnasium can seat 100.
The facility’s potential is further
heightened by video and sound
booths for editing and quality video
shooting and production.

Guests at San Patrignano
In addition to the ‘SanPa Space’, San
Patrignano has other facilities for daily
cultural and recreational activities.
The theatre is equipped with 380
comfortable seats, a large stage and
movie projection, lighting and con-
ference equipment. Next door is the
debating hall for 150 spectators.
Another important facility is the
indoor equestrian arena, normally
used to train horses, which has also
been a venue for complex sporting
events, television broadcasts, fairs,
expos and concerts.
Nearby is the outdoor grass eques-
trian arena with a powerful lighting
system, where the annual ‘Vincenzo
Muccioli Challenge’ International
Horse Show takes place.

HOW DOES THE COMMUNITY WORK?
Protecting the environment.Respect for nature, sustainability and recycling.
The evolution of San Patrignano, from
a farmhouse surrounded predomi-
nantly by uncultivated terrain to a
complex, multifaceted reality, has al-
ways been characterized by a profound
respect for the natural environment.
Water.
The Community uses an average of
700-750 cubic metres of drinking water
a day for ordinary uses. For irrigation,
it uses rainwater from a collection tank
that has a capacity of approximately
25,000 cubic metres.
Purification system.
Approx. 380 cubic metres per day.
Waste recycling.
Collected & sent for recycling:
• 585,000 kg of wood from carpen-
try, packaging and wood chips
(grounds, maintenance)
• 6,900 kg of waste kitchen oils
• 90,750 kg of iron & steel
• 2,100 kg of aluminium
• 2,550 kg of electric wiring scraps
• 630 kg of copper, bronze and brass
• 2,520 kg of waste vehicle oils
• 90,000 kg of paper and cardboard
Cogeneration.
The plant uses methane gas for com-
bustion and supplies hot water for
heating and cold water for cooling.
The latter is produced by absorp-
tion-type refrigeration units that use
waste heat from the engines, and
by high-performance, electrically-
driven vapor-compression refrig-
eration units that run on the power
produced by cogeneration (which,

sources. The excess electricity produced
can actually be fed back into the national
power grid during off-peak hours. The
plant both saves the Community money
and reduces its environmental impact.
Land re-qualification.
Green areas and landscaping are handled by 4
staff members and 23 resident trainees.
Regular maintenance is carried out both over
some 20 hectares of grounds and 15 hectares
of Community roads, and the maintenance of
external areas.
In 2010 the group handled the maintenance
of external areas, in partnership with the coop-
erative Arcipelago, landscaping and greenery
maintenance for the Municipalities of Rimini
and Riccione, and greenery maintenance for
Le Befane Shopping Centre in Rimini.
Parklands withdrawn from hunting.
San Patrignano has confirmed and ex-
tended the hunting ban on its proper-
ty approved by the Province of Rimini
in 2006. A total area of 230 hectares
now represents a natural oasis for lo-
cal wildlife.

San Patrignano’s medical cen-
tre was founded so that state-of-
the-art therapy and the loving at-
tention one receives from fam-
ily could coexist side by side.
Studies prove that numerous patholo-
gies—particularly HIV infection—are
positively influenced by an empa-
thetic approach and by the support
of those who surround patients. The
medical centre has a ground level
and four floors. At the first floor, is the
outpatients clinic, a point of reference
for all residents since their arrival.
Everyone upon arrival receives a de-
tailed medical examination, which is
updated regularly for the entire dura-
tion of their stay at the Community. A
thorough archive constantly updates
the medical files of everyone who
passes through the San Patrignano.
In 1985, a database was set up and
scrupulously updated over the years
to become one of the most complete
scientific databanks on drug related
infectious diseases in the world today.
A dedicated medical team comprised
of numerous professionals and volun-
teers, alternate throughout the week
in performing clinical visits as well
as specialist testing in the first floor
clinic. At ground floor services like
the kitchen and laundry are located
on the basement level, as well as a
laboratory and a physiotherapy gym
for motor skills rehabilitation.
The top two floors contain the resi-
dential area, with 20 day hospital
beds and 36 extended recovery beds,
specialized in treating infectious
diseases (drug addiction related ill-
nesses), AIDS and liver diseases in
particular. This sector operates in
conjunction with the National Health
Care Service and welcomes not only
patients from the Community but in
the main those sent here by public
healthcare. This sector operates in

Long term care is mainly reserved
for those suffering from AIDS,
and different functions are per-
formed including:

both acute and chronic cases;
B. long-term care and functional
rehabilitation for neurological
problems;
C. hospice and terminally ill pa-
tients where quality of life is im-
proved for the remaining time

• Upon entering the Community detailed medical examinations
ascertain the health and main pathologies that afflict guests
due to drug addiction, as well as “high risk” behaviours
associated to them.
• Six months later and then every twelve months, the examinations
are repeated. Based on the initial tests, residents are assigned to
specific treatment protocols and follow up regimes. All residents
are registered as public healthcare patients. Two full time doctors
are assigned all Community patients and treat them at the
outpatient clinic at the Medical Centre. Medical visiting volumes
average about 35 visits per day.

nally ill AIDS patients. Infectious diseas-
es wards in Italian hospitals offer limited
time services and home care is available
to few and only for pathologies not as
serious as AIDS. For these reasons over
the past few years the 50 or so terminally
ill patients housed at the Community
are not directly from San Patrignano,
but sent here from an inadequate pub-
lic healthcare system (often they are not
even drug addicts), drug addiction serv-
ices, or social services.
Our staff.
Round-the-clock medical care is pro-
vided in the ward: there is a morning
round of visits by Community doctors
and the head nurse; a doctor is always
on hand for the needs of patients in the
afternoon, and at night there is a doctor
on duty at the Medical Center for the
emergency needs of both patients and
Community residents. Once a month,
a infectious disease specialist from the
infectious disease ward of the Rimini
hospital accompanies Community doc-
tors on their morning visits to discuss
the most serious cases and exchange
opinions about treatment.
Every day, some Community residents
work as volunteers to help patients: their
tasks essentially consist in helping the
healthcare workers in terms of basic
assistance, i.e., they help patients eat,
walk, and wash themselves; they change
them if they are incontinent, keep them
company, and keep the rooms clean;
they accompany them outside the
Medical Centre so that they may make
use of the Community’s recreational re-
sources. This service is extremely useful,
not just for the patients, but for those as-
sisting them; these are people who have
already completed the first part of their
recovery program and are beginning to
feel a need to help others, so the experi-
ence is fulfilling for them. It puts them in
The Community’s dental clinic has four offices, one of which is
equipped for surgery, another for sterilizing tools.
The volume of work at the clinic stems from the services it provides
for the Community’s 1,600 residents, most of whom have suffered con-
siderable damage to their teeth and gums due to opiate use Alongside
the clinic is an orthodontic laboratory that produces all the necessary
prosthetic devices.
In addition to the many doctors who volunteer their services on a rotat-
ing monthly basis, the clinic has five permanent dentists aided by five
assistants.
In the orthodontic laboratory, a permanent technician and six students
residing in the Community have the support of an equal number of
volunteer technicians with expertise in different types of work.

contact with pain and suffering, but also
with the determination and willpower
many patients show, and this a positive
stimulus that speeds their growth proc-
ess and awakens a sense of empathy.
Furthermore, young residents inclined
to do this assistance work have been
able to attend a Healthcare Worker
course for a few years now, and obtain
the qualification issued by the Region
of Emilia-Romagna, acquiring profes-
sional skills which are extremely useful
for job placement.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation are
increasingly necessary services, both
due to the number of patients who re-
quire them. Other hospitals often re-
quest transfers to the Medical Center,
specifically for rehabilitation, both due
to the growing prevalence of AIDS-
related neurological complications, and
because many facilities that handle re-
habilitation avoid admitting people with
AIDS.
Physical therapy for AIDS patients is
becoming increasingly important due
to new developments in ways of fight-
ing the disease itself. Since the mid-90s,
the increase in pharmacological options
and the availability of new drugs (pro-
tease inhibitors) have extended life ex-
pectancy, making it necessary to focus
more on rehabilitative therapy.
Every morning, the doctors make full rounds of the long-term ward, which has 16 double and 4 single rooms, each with a bathroom.

Chiocciola (“the snail”) is the name of
the new facility that serves 75 nursery-
school, kindergarten, elementary-
school, and middle-school children.
These groups are made up of children
of volunteers, mothers living at the
Community, employees, and parents
from outside. It is a two-story circu-
lar building surrounded by greenery,
with a large area for nursery-school
and kindergarten activities. The up-
per floor houses multipurpose class-
rooms for the older kids, a multimedia
area, and a recreation room. All the
spaces are designed to a child’s scale,
taking the needs of different age
groups into account.
A resource for everyone.
As from 2009 outside enrolments
will be expanding (up to 25 children
in day care and 28 in nursery school),
to encourage integration with kids
from the surrounding area.
A “snail shell” for children.The little children’s world.
HOW DOES THE COMMUNITY WORK?
Nursery school, kindergarten, and after-school programs.
The eight rooms on the ground floor are used for the
23 nursery-school children and the 18 kindergarteners,
suitably divided by age group. The area includes
classrooms, rooms for active play and make-believe, nap
areas for very young children, and spaces for leisure time
activities. A kitchen has also been built here to serve the
needs of all the children.
The upper floor, on the other hand, houses after-school
programs. In the afternoon, the 32 kids who attend local
elementary and middle schools have access to study
rooms, recreational areas, a multimedia room with an
Internet connection, and a small library. Alongside all
of this, there are outdoor spaces for sports and physical
play.In the summer, the three education areas become a
Summer Centre, welcoming more children from outside
the community. This will further assist integration with
surrounding areas and expand socialization.
In addition to the aforesaid structure, the Summer Centre
also extends to the sea where kids can take part in various
courses, such as sailing, swimming and beach tennis
Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.
A home for minors.A small community within the community.
Most of its teenage residents arrive from
juvenile courts around Italy. These young
people have often lived without any adult
guidance. Often victims of poverty, vio-
lence and social exclusion, they turned to
substance abuse.
School, sports, professional training and
free-time activities fill the daily schedule
in this community within the commu-
nity. The structure has its own gym and
independent kitchen facilities. One of the
main aims is to re-establish links between
the young people and their families, and
in the many cases where they have none,
to work with social workers and compe-
tent institutions towards their successful
reintegration into society.
Major emphasis is placed on education
as almost all the young people had their
schooling interrupted for disciplinary rea-
sons and with the passing of time have
manifested a will to resume their studies
and achieve a good educational ground-
ing. Literacy courses are regularly held,
as well as 150-hour remedial courses to
gain the lower secondary school diploma
in agreement between San Patrignano
and the Ministry of Education, remedial
courses for school years aimed at gaining
the upper secondary school diploma, and
study support.
In addition to studying, other educational
tools include job training and sport as
they are used to express one’s identity and
interests. Following the initial reintegra-
tion stage, the young people choose their
preferred training and sporting activity,
allowing their developing personalities
to be oriented towards interests in line
with their inclinations. Training courses
are organised regularly in different
professional areas in order to meet
the varied preferences of the young
residents.
Regarded as a tool for education and
socialization, sport is fundamental in
fully developing the physical poten-
tial of the young residents and their
personalities. Sporting activities
include formative, postural and cor-
rective gymnastics, if required, and
participation in team sports like bas-
ketball, volleyball and football, which
are always supervised by qualified
instructors.
Thirty-three young people are
housed here, assisted by 3 educators,
a psychologist and three staff mem-
bers who oversee their educational
programme as well as the various
training activities. A wide range of
activities are carried out within the
facility to add variety to the daily
lives of the young guests.

Students at San Patrignano are kids
and adults who have decided to un-
dertake a course of studies or com-
plete the education that was inter-
rupted in their adolescence due to
substance abuse. They come from
different backgrounds, are of different
ages, and have different levels of edu-
cation, but they share the same objec-
tive of earning their middle-school or
secondary-school diploma or a uni-
versity degree. There are 78 students
enrolled in the San Patrignano Study
Centre in the 2010-2011 school year:
• 16 are attending daytime classes to
make up missed years of school
• 4 are foreign students learning Italian
• 8 are studying for their middle-
school diploma
• 42 are attending night school
• 8 are university students
The Study Centre is laid out on two
floors with 14 classrooms, a study
room, an administrative area, a com-
puter room with 16 PCs, a classroom
for advertising graphics with 11
Macs, and a kitchen for the hotel/res-
taurant school.
The Study Center offers 9 different
courses for earning a State second-
ary school diploma, two night school
classes in four different scholas-
tic programs staffed by professors
recommended by the Ministry of
Education who teach 150 hours in
order to help residents finish mid-

programmes are shown between 7
pm and midnight. Programmes in-
clude news and current affairs, en-
tertainment, culture and documen-
taries. Films are also screened to suit
the tastes and preferences expressed
by residents themselves.
Theatre & dance workshop.
During the year, over 60 residents
took part in theatre and dance work-
shops run by specialised teach-
ers and coaches. More specifically,
dance courses for 40 people took
place every two weeks throughout
the year. The lessons aimed to cre-
ate a range of choreographies. The
theatre group, consisting of 20 peo-
ple, provided the opportunity to do
theatre placements with various lo-
cal companies, which have resulted
in the creation of a fixed workshop,
whose future aim is to set up a the-
atre company. The shows staged
within the Community are a result of
the merging together of the various
groups that carry out artistic activi-
ties in the Community (music, sing-
ing, theatre, dance, video-makers,
and light and sound technicians). In
addition to acting and directing, the
theatre group managed the entire
production process: from script crea-
tion to set and costume design and
organising dedicated evenings. Also
in 2010 this group played for the first
time at a theatrical event organised
in the province of Rimini.

in regional and national festivals and
musical events.
Sport.
Every year San Patrignano holds
male and female basketball, volley-
ball and soccer leagues, with a total
of 140 matches and 230 training ses-
sion hours per sport. This year, the
San Patrignano football team played
in the C2 championship. The bas-
ketball team also competes in C2
division championships, and another
team takes part in the ARCI cham-
pionships. Track and field sports are
also popular. 15 residents take part
in regional competitive events, and
over 100 train for fun each week. In
total around 10,000 hours are dedi-
cated to sports at the Community
each year, and over 1,000 people take
part in a discipline of their choice.
In 2010, sporting activities at the
Community were supported by Adri-
atica Grandi Impianti, Ceramica
del Conca, Electrolux Professional,
Metha Hotel, Metis.
In 2010, football, basketball and volleyball tournaments for both men and women were held inside San Patrignano. Many musical events involving Community residents were also organized.

Livestock farming.
Three types of livestock are raised:
cows, sheep and goats. 600 sheep
produce some 80,000 liters of milk
used by the cheese factory in San
Patrignano (Coriano). In addition,
5000 kg of meat is produced every
year. The Chianina cattle are care-
fully selected for reproduction, with
30 females and a bull, with an annual
production of some 30 calves, which
are then transferred to the breeding
facilities in Coriano for the fatten-
ing phase. As for goats, there are 80
females and a breeding male. They
produce 20,000 liters of milk and
1,000 kg of kid meat annually.
The 15,000 liters of milk are then
sent to be processed into artisanal
cheeses in the Community’s main
Coriano branch.
Wrought iron workshop.
Various carpentry and wrought
iron objects are made with the
help of a master craftsman.
The defining characteristic of this
work is that every piece is unique,
because it is made entirely by hand
using traditional techniques. The
material is in fact worked using a
forge, hammer and anvil.
Candle workshop.
In 2001 a candle workshop was
opened, where various types of deco-
rative candles are now made.
Home decoration.
Opened in 2006, the workshop em-
ploys 5 young women. They are em-
ployed by a leading European wall

The history of this location dates back to the early 1980s when a large farmhouse was purchased for use during summer vacations by San Patrignano children. Successively the facility grew and evolved, and various activities, mostly based around animal husbandry and handicrafts, were started up. Today the Community extends over 130 hectares, most of which is used as pasture. It currently houses approximately 90 residents.
Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.
make wooden flowers that are sold at
the San Patrignano Shop. Furniture
and objects are also finished at the
workshop.
Landscaping.
About a hectare of land is dedicated
to parkland. Fruit from centuries-old
trees provide the raw material for a
chestnut cream which has become
the pride of the entire Community.
Kitchens and bakery.
The kitchens prepare 240 meals per
day. Currently 15 residents are being
professionally trained as chefs, bak-
ers and pastry chefs.
Beekeeping.
The Community is surrounded by
100 hectares of land, utilized for
pasture as well as woods of chestnut
and acacia trees. Using these natu-
ral resources, an organic beekeeping
project has been developed in coop-
eration of the Centre in Coriano, us-
ing the method of nomadic breeding.
Cheesemaking.
The young men learning the art of
cheesemaking in San Patrignano
and Botticella have been learning
the art of affinage (imparting cheese
with flavor in the last crucial stage of
aging) with the expertise of master
affineur Vittorio Beltrami Thanks
to the residents’ enthusiasm, the
climate at Botticella and the latest
technology, we are confident that we
will produce a top quality product.
Starting this year, all the cured meats
produced in San Patrignano will be
transferred to Botticella for the ag-
ing phase, because of its favorable
climate, humidity and altitude.
A new home for families.
In 2009, thanks to an
important contribution by the
Enel Cuore Foundation, we
started a project to improve
the services we could offer to
mothers with children in the
Community. A new facility,
inaugurated in 2010, can
host up to 6 families. The
natural setting, surrounded
by trees, the separation from
the rest of the community, the
architectural shape recalling
the Italian traditional country
house, as well as the fact that
the division of spaces secures
adequate spaces and privacy
to each family, are important
factors for a healthy family
environment.
70
All the training programs, as at the
mother Community, are targeted to
the social re-integration of young
people after their recovery program is
complete.
• Workshop for high-end bicycle rac-
ing frames (SanPa bikes). Frames
are custom made using various ma-
terials. Recently the workshop has
specialized in the creation of carbon
frames using the latest technology
for the San Patrignano brand and
as outsourcers for Carrera, Fondri-
est, Cinelli, Pesenti, Pegoretti and
Corratec. Alongside these initia-
tives, San Patrignano is collaborat-
ing with the Autonomous Province
of Trento, the Department of Com-
posite materials at the University of
Trento as well as other local institu-
tions in preparing a study and train-
ing program called BICIDOC, in
which the Community hosts train-
ing programmes each year focus-
ing on the study of cycling.
BICIDOC is increasingly becoming
a point of reference among enthusi-
asts everywhere.
• Carpentry workshop. Here tradition-
al woodworking as well as custom
made furniture is made. Further-
more, some products are made in
collaboration with the workshop at
the San Patrignano facility (Rimini).
• Dog training for pet therapy pro-
grams. In 1998, the Community cre-
ated a facility that trained dogs to
assist people with disabilities. This
activity is relatively new to Italy,
although quite popular in English-
speaking countries where pet thera-
py is one of the services offered by
public health systems. The animals,
some of which come from local
pounds, are carefully trained by resi-
dents qualified as dog trainers to as-

ARE THERE OTHER LOCATIONS?
In 1989, San Patrignano built its San Vito Pergine (Trento) residential facility for the recovery of drug addicts which today houses 108 residents. The recovery program, the spirit and the principles are the same as those of the main facility near Rimini. The San Vito facility is on 1.5 hectares of land located in Pergine some 800m above nearby Lake Caldonazzo.
The activities carried out are varied and everyone participates together.

sist those with various types of dis-
abilities. The considerable enthusi-
asm and awareness that it is impor-
tant to bring together those working
in the field of assisted therapies led
to the creation of the ‘Dogs for Life’
group in 1999. San Patrignano main-
tains a close relationship with non
profit associations and institutions
that operate in this field.
• The metal workshop is also present
here and creates artistic sculptures in
wrought iron, among other products.
• Apiculture. A couple of years ago,
a group was formed to manage the
production of organic honey and,
given the facility’s geographical po-
sition, the honey is especially fine.
There are approximately 20 hives
and each one produces about 50 kg
of honey. The production of furni-
ture wax and honey-based sweets is
in the pipeline.
• Crops. On a large terrace overlook-
ing Lake Caldonazzo, there’s a large
vegetable garden, which is becom-
ing serviceable in meeting the
needs of the community.
• The facility’s kitchen prepares 200
meals per day; 15 residents are train-
ing as chefs, bakers and pastry chefs
as part of their recovery programs.
• 18 women residents run the laundry,
kitchen, bakery, and the greenhouse
where flowers are grown.
Some of the key training activities include building frames for racing bikes and raising dogs for pet therapy.

Teaching young people a trade is one of San Patrignano’s founding principles: it is part of a specific way of looking at drug addiction as an extreme form of maladjustment, examining its deeper causes and finding a path out of them, back into society.
WHAT TRAINING DO YOU OFFER?
Learning a trade.Training courses aimed at reintegration into society and the world of work.
Job training thus plays a fundamen-
tal role: not as an end in itself, a goal
of the educational process, but rather
as one of the most important tools
for giving people a sense of libera-
tion, involvement, and belonging; it’s
an opportunity to savour life, regain
interest and enthusiasm, get used to
responsibility, and forge meaningful
relationships with others.
Learning a job, in short, is a way of
learning to interact, to become ac-
countable, to lay the foundations of
one’s own independence and plan
one’s future. Each young person can
choose from a wide range of opportu-
nities, deciding on the one best suited
to their personal needs and capabili-
ties. This means that at the end of the
educational process, they will be able
to return to the world of work in a fully-
fledged, autonomous capacity.
Training activities play a key strategic
role in facilitating definitive re-integra-
tion into the job market for people with
a history of drug addiction; 30 years of
experience at the Community of San
Patrignano have clearly shown that
vocational training is a decisive fac-
tor in getting people started on the
path towards employment. Through
daily educational activities, hands-on
experience, and work, it helps them
rebuild the self-esteem that is so es-
sential for people with a history of
drug addiction.
A careful, concerted effort is made
to help every young person acquire
a professional skills certification or
diploma recognized by the regional
government, so they will have the
tools and skills they need to enter the
world of work.

in 2010, financed by the Province of
Rimini, with European Social Fund-
ing, to create the training course for
clothing workers for the young wom-
en of the Community only. The 600-
hour course sees the participation of
14 young women and involves a final
examination to achieve the profes-
sional qualification, to be taken by
the end of 2011.
At the San Vito branch in Pergine
Valsugana, training and orientation
initiatives began in 2010 with funding
from the ESF and the Autonomous
Province of Trento, ending in 2011,
which allowed 30 young people to
obtain certification in four different
sectors: food service, carpentry, metal
working, and bicycle construction.

LEARNING A TRADE
Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.
At the end of the recovery pro-
gramme, residents need to success-
fully re-enter the world of work, in
order to achieve financial independ-
ence and social recognition and re-
gain self-respect: work becomes a
consummate tool for fulfilment as a
human being.
Guiding young people at the Com-
munity through the process of social
and professional reintegration is thus
a crucial step, to reduce the risk of a
backslide into addiction and to help
them re-enter society after a long pe-
riod of unemployment.
One extremely important factor in pro-
fessional reintegration is the way that the
tool of job training is combined with San
Patrignano’s business experience in the
sphere of social cooperatives, yielding
professional profiles that are in high de-
mand in the job market. Going to work
for the San Patrignano social coopera-
tives offers an initial opportunity for re-
integration to people who have finished
their rehabilitation programme. It in-
troduces them to the job market, where
they gradually learn to adjust to a pro-
fessional environment, interact with co-
workers, and keep to a schedule.
At the same time, the Community works
to facilitate job placement outside of San
Patrignano, forging strong ties with lo-
cal business and institutions to create a
stable network of contacts and expand
the opportunities it can offer its resi-
dents. Relying in part on the volunteer
associations in its network, it has created
contacts throughout most of the country
to help find jobs for those who want to re-
turn to their hometowns.

the Community’s workshops. The Ar-
chipelago Cooperative was founded
in 2001 in St. Andrea in Besanigo in
the town of Coriano near Rimini, Italy.
It is an important experience: a coop-
erative set up out of the need to pro-
vide professionally valid and concrete
job opportunities from the point of
view of full social reintegration and
return to society. Archipelago person-
nel were all trained at San Patrignano
in various sectors: carpentry, metal
working, plumbing, heating and air
conditioning maintenance and instal-
lation, decorating and civil and indus-
trial painting/dyeing. Today 70% of
the work completed is commissioned
by industry, 30% by retail clients.
Cooperative professionals are often
called upon by architects and inte-
rior decorators in order to perform
special and custom-made projects
for private homes.
The job organization is flexible, so as
to allow members to mature experi-
ence in different fields, although they
each are specialists in a given field.

Over the years, thanks to the experi-
ence gained and the expertise of pro-
fessionals in each area, our wine and
cheese production, initially meant
for internal use but subsequently
enlarged to a commercial scale, has
reached world-class international rec-
ognition for their excellence. Wine
labels Avi, Montepirolo and Noi have
been awarded Italian and international
prizes for quality, while the dairy busi-
ness has widely increased its array
of fine products (‘pecorino’ - sheep’s
milk cheese, ‘squacquerone’ - a cream
cheese delicacy, and ‘caprino’ - a goat’s
milk cheese). San Patrignano has also
developed other related businesses
such as a cutting-edge pig farm, com-
mitted to developing and selectively
breeding the traditional local ‘mora
romagnola’ breed for the production
of top quality specialty cold meats.
Gourmet olive oil is made from olives
harvested in the hills around Rimini (a
land particularly apt for this activity)
and in Cecina (near Livorno) on the
San Giuseppe and Il Paratino estates
donated to San Patrignano by a ben-
efactor.
Winery.
During the course of the year, the
winery manages vine cultivation
(pruning, vine tying, green prun-
ing etc.), mechanical and enological
tasks like grape processing, barrel
aging, bottling and warehousing.
The vines are located on Commu-
nity grounds surrounding the small
Italian town of Coriano and face the
Rimini coast which is about 5 km
as the crow flies. Over 100 hectares
are planted and already in produc-
tion, all in a single location. The
agricultural work is carried out in
harmony with the seasons. Pruning
takes place during winter months,

Agriculture and foodThe fertile heart of San Patrignano.
Over 100 hectares of vineyards. And what’s more, a beautiful winery decorated by Community residents. Our agricultural activities range from animal husbandry to vineyards and olive growing. The farm philosophy is to have a short food chain, processing our own high-quality local raw materials, which respect the environment and biodiversity. Hence, the decision to use organic farming techniques and GM-free products in animal feed.
Olive growing and beekeeping are also important sectors.

and then in March the vines are care-
fully bent. Then the best buds are se-
lected and the remaining leaves and
branches are directionally nurtured
for best grape bunch exposure. Final
pruning and harvesting are the last
two steps, requiring about a month
and the assistance of some one hun-
dred residents from all the Communi-
ty sectors. The work progresses in the
cellars with the refining or blending
activities (time is variable) and lastly,
bottling. After a final rest period, the
wines are ready for labelling and ship-
ping to customers all over the world.
In recent years, San Patrignano’s
wines have garnered critical acclaim
in Italy and abroad.
In 2010, the San Patrignano wines on
the market included Aulente Bianco
‘09, Aulente Rosso ’07 and ‘08 (sangio-
vese), Vie ’09 (sauvignon blanc cru),
Noi ’06 and ‘07 (sangiovese, merlot
and cabernet sauvignon), Montepiro-
lo ’04 and ’05 (merlot, cabernet sauvi-
gnon and cabernet franc) and Avi’04
and ’05 (pure sangiovese).
Meat production.
Raising cattle, with 400 head and 180
births per year, is a time-honoured ac-
tivity at the Community. This is tied to
the dairy production, in part for Com-
munity use and for the production of
cheeses and in part for sale. A portion
of the cattle are slaughtered outside for
daily consumption and direct sale.
We should not forget the 30 head of
pedigree Chianina breeding cattle at
the San Patrignano location in Botti-
cella-Novafeltria.
As for pork rearing, there is a total
of 1400 head of pork. The pig farm-

sustainability and natural animal
growth thanks to a cereal and legu-
minous diet that is completely GMO-
free (wet barley flour mixes, wheat
middlings and coarse corn meal).
Two species are reared:
• ‘Mora Romagnola’ (literally the dark
romagnola, due to its long dark coat)
an indigenous species reared in the
semi-wild that until the 1950s used
to populate the Apennine mountains
in the nearby provinces of Ravenna
and Forlì. It now raises these pigs in
a herd of 150 in a free-range breeding
programme, the largest of its kind in
all of Italy. San Patrignano is on the
frontline of saving and re-establishing
this rare breed of pig, and in produc-
ing and selling cold cuts made from
their meat.
• “Brinato”, is a crossbreed created in
the late 19th century, when the first
of the Large White breed arrived in
Romagna, and were crossed with the
indigenous Mora Romagnola breed.
This type of genetics has disappeared
over the years as the white species
ousted the Mora. Taking to heart the
biodiversity and quality of the food
products, San Patrignano made the
decision to invest by also develop-
ing and perfecting the Brinato farm, a
cross between the male Mora pig and
the Large White sow. The meats ob-
tained from this animal have proven
to be excellent from the point of view
of quality for fresh consumption and,
in particular, for superior pork butch-
ery products. The meat is processed

Dairy products.
All of the cheeses produced at San
Patrignano use an entirely natural
production and ageing system, con-
taining no additives or preservatives
of any kind. Their two main charac-
teristics are wholesomeness and taste.
These qualities come from the premi-
um raw materials, namely cow, sheep
and goat milk produced at the Com-
munity, Coriano and Botticella facili-
ties, giving the products nutritional
and taste characteristics that are
among the best in the entire region.
The range of San Patrignano cheeses
includes traditional specialities of the
Romagna region, such as fresh ‘squac-
querone’ or ‘pecorino’, sheep’s-milk
cheese that may be aged in wine bar-
rels in contact with grape skins, straw
or chestnut leaves, or in underground
pits and caves, at various stages of the
maturing process. Fresh ricotta is also
produced from both cows’ and sheep
milk, as well as fresh or aged cheeses
of different varieties. San Patrignano’s
dairy centre also benefit from the val-
uable collaboration of a cheesemaker
from Cartoceto, Vittorio Beltrami.
Beekeeping.
2009 was a year of transition for this
activity, from a trial period of 4 years,
to production, which involved an in-
crease in the number of hives and the
decision to have the honey produc-
tion certified as organic.
The bee hives number around 60,
which are located in the Coriano and
Botticella communities, and the hon-

Olive growing.
Olive cultivation takes place inside
the Community near Rimini as well
as on the Il Paratino estate in Cecina,
Tuscany. Èvo and Paratino are the
two brands produced, both are non
filtered cold pressed extra virgin ol-
ive oils of the finest quality. The two
oils differ in terms of olive type and
location. Il Paratino uses Maurino
Lucchese, Moraiolo and Frantoio ol-
ives, grown and pressed in Cecina,
where San Patrignano owns an olive
grove of almost 10 hectares, with 400
adult trees and 2800 young trees. Èvo
is produced using Correggiolo, Mo-
raiolo and Rossina olives (500 adult
trees plus 3700 young trees) on 6.5
hectares of land within the Commu-
nity grounds. is produced using Cor-
reggiolo, Moraiolo and Rossina ol-
ives (500 adult trees plus 3700 young
trees) on 6.5 hectares of land within
the Community grounds. The highest
care is taken to ensure all production
renders superior quality olive oils and
respects the environment. As a result
all pruning, pairing and harvesting is
done strictly by hand.
The beekeeping division has hives at both San Patrignano and Botticella di
Novafeltria. Olives are also grown on the Community farm “Il Paratino” in Tuscany.

Baking and pastry-making.
The bakery primarily provides for
the internal needs of the Community,
supplying bread for three meals a
day, as well as pastry, sweets and ice
cream.
Through the experience of baker
Giuliano Pediconi, it provides a
valuable training opportunity for
all residents who want a hands-on
chance to learn the trade of baking
and pastry-making. The products are
all made with a sourdough starter, a
natural yeast culture generated by
the acidification of a water and flour
mixture that is fed daily. In addition
to white bread, specialties include
breads with tomatoes and basil, rye
and walnuts, and cracked wheat.
And then there are various types of
sweets and biscuits. Since 2009, our
bakery products have been sold un-
der the brand Pan Patrignano at the
Community shop, “SP.accio”.

An old farmhouse, fully renovated and
decorated with furniture and objects
made at the Community, has become
San Patrignano’s new retail venue.
SP.accio, located in a two-story build-
ing just outside the entrance, fea-
tures an area dedicated to design:
furnishings, decorative items, and
giftware, as well as textiles, clothing,
and accessories.
The Community’s showcase is a ful-
ly-stocked store where you can buy
products and objects made in San
Patrignano’s job training workshops.
Its shelves are lined with home lin-
ens, picture frames, perfumed can-
dles, change purses, keychains, and,
bags and clothing accessories.
Each object is handmade and con-
veys the value of all the effort that
went into designing, creating, and
finishing it, as part of teaching young
Community residents a trade that
will help them find a new place in so-
ciety.
In the next room, a large space is
dedicated to the whole range of food
products: wine, cheese, charcuterie,
meat, bread, milk, and vegetables
from the gardens of San Patrignano.
These are high-quality foods pro-
duced through organic- biodynamic

The restaurant Vite.Good taste for a good cause.
Vite has two meanings in Italian:
“grapevine”, like the ones covering
the hills of San Patrignano, and “lives”,
like the ones that are the focus of the
Community’s educational work. The
lives of young people who used to be
excluded from society, but have now
regained their enthusiasm, energy
and will to change. There couldn’t be
a better name for the restaurant that
the Community opened to the public
in 2008 on the hill of Montepirolo.
More than just a dining establish-
ment, it is living proof of human
redemption, showing the potential
of people who were once socially ex-
cluded. The products served at the
restaurant all share two fundamental
characteristics: authenticity and fla-
vour. That’s because they’re based on
high-quality ingredients, the result
of local tradition and skilled farming,
that almost all come from San Patrig-
nano’s food and agriculture division.
The kitchen brigade is headed by top
chef Fabio Rossi, and the restaurant
is staffed by 15 young Community
residents who are completing their
professional training as kitchen assis-
tants and servers, 11 employees and 2
volunteers. Four young residents got
their diplomas from the professional
catering college in Riccione.
Pastry
The restaurant relies on the con-
tribution made by Franco Aliberti,
named in the Il Sole 24 Ore restau-
rant guide as the best pastry chef in
Italy. Aliberti, who has just turned 26,
trained with Alain Ducasse and has
worked and trained with Massimil-
iano Alajmo, Gualtiero Marchesi and
Gino Fabbri.
The restaurant, which looks out over the slopes of Montepirolo, has two floors and a basement level which includes as a wine cellar

The relationship between man and
horse has proven to be an excellent
therapeutic tool that can help people
overcome their difficulties in relating
to others, a characteristic problem in
cases of drug addiction and social
marginalization. At the same time,
it allows them to acquire advanced
training in the specialized jobs of-
fered by the sector: as grooms, far-
riers, technical professionals, veteri-
nary assistants, and nutritionists.
A streamlining process carried out in
recent years has brought the number
of horses from the original total of 150
to around 100. They include active
jumpers, promising youngsters, about
ten brood mares—including some
true international champions—and a
small group of stallions.
Clinic.
Headed by Dr. Andrea Miliani, the
clinic is equipped with an operating
room with a professional hydraulic
bed, a conventional x-ray machine also
suitable for the animal’s back. Since
2010 the clinic has been able to use a
new, digital x-ray developer, which en-
ables the x-rays to be used via PC. The
clinic has forged partnerships with ma-
jor international medical centers.

The Community of San Patrignano has opened its doors to young people who want to learn to ride or to improve their style in the saddle. The club offers courses taught by FISE federal instructors who teach both how to ride a horse and how to establish a relationship of trust, affection and familiarity with it.
WHAT TRAINING DO YOU OFFER?
Courses
Pony Games
Lots of fun and simple rules.
Pony games teach kids to socialize
and develop a sense of responsibil-
ity. To follow rules and acquire self-
confidence.
Beginners
Kids learn to ride bigger ponies. The
element of play is still there, but ba-
sic ideas about riding technique and
rules are introduced.
Advanced
This course is aimed at older kids
who have acquired adequate security
and balance in the saddle. It explores
technical issues in greater depth and
is aimed at preparing those who are
interested for competitions.
Stabling
Members can make use of a stabling
service for their horses, in line with
the proverbial care and attention of
San Patrignano.
We are also happy to point out that
our facilities offer customers a sta-
bling service for their horses.

They are focused on a specific breed:
Labrador Retrievers, carefully selected
according to bloodline and physi-
cal standards. These dogs are excep-
tionally well-suited to pet therapy for
children and people with disabilities
or medical problems, due to their in-
telligence and enormous sensitivity.
This activity is primarily carried out
at the San Vito Pergine location near
Trento, in close collaboration with
the Community kennels. The facility
is comprised of 90 double boxes, half
of which are heated, 30 outdoors with
covered doghouses, and 20 larger ken-
nels sized 40x8m that house four dogs
each. The breeding facility employs 20
residents in dog breeding training and
a professional breeder.
“Mutts” for adoption.
There are nine dogs of different ages
and breeds. Some of them are pure
bred, but most are mongrels. All have
been abandoned and now live in the
Community kennels.
San Patrignano has signed an agree-
ment with the provincial govern-
ment (later subscribed by some mu-
nicipalities too) to house abandoned
dogs coming from temporary public
pounds. The dogs have passed all
medical veterinary testing and are
waiting to be adopted.
Four municipalities (Saludecio, San
Giovanni in Marignano, Rimini, Mon-
tefiore) now take part in this pro-
gramme through the provincial gov-
ernment.
Our dogs.Pedigreed companions. Or just friends.
The Aprusa kennels, which opened at the end of the 1970s, offer a range of different services from basic to more specific training for breeds competing in dog shows, as well as kennel accommodation all year round.

concerned. In 2009 alone, over 1,400
articles about the Community were
published in the Italian and interna-
tional press and representatives from
the community were invited as speak-
ers on fifteen TV programs this year.
The communication Office makes
contacts with media for the events or-
ganized at San Patrignano. The pub-
lishing department creates and pub-
lishes all the printed matter, including
copywriting and creative work. San

While it’s true that all the young
residents of the Community are in-
volved in the major events held in
San Patrignano, it is equally the case
that some of them begin to experi-
ence the events a long time before
they actually happen. This is cer-
tainly the case for the kitchen during
Squisito! and the stables prior to the
contest, but it is the outfitting sec-
tor whose very raison d’être lies in
events, regardless of what they might
be. Whether it is a food and wine
showcase, a football tournament, a
horse event or a big day dedicated
to prevention, this unit is always on
the front line. A month or two weeks
in advance, the unit throws itself into
assembling facilities, turning a gym
into a conference hall, a horse event-
ing field into an exhibition space
with more than 100 stands, an audi-
torium into a disco, a simple meadow
into a wonderful show-jumping field
with grandstands and a sponsors’
terrace, which has made it become a
leading international contest. These
are just some of the “major works”
that they create. The idea of creating
a unit that deals exclusively with fa-
cilities was realised in recent years.
As well as directly organising events,
among other things, the Community
also offers its spaces and skills for
events and conferences held by ex-

ternal organisations, such as trade

foundations. The wish to improve the
facilities is a constant incentive for
the growth of the young residents.
They set themselves the challenge,
following the outfitting from design
to creation, thus acquiring a wider
range of professional abilities. They
learn. The jobs range from carpentry
to plumbing, from electrics to build-
ing. The results are surprising.

of interior design, maintenance and

Every year, this event draws thousands
of people who care about quality food,
giving Community residents in the re-
covery program a chance for contact
with the world to which they must re-
turn. Squisito offers many of them the
opportunity to test their skills in the
field of organization, logistics, hospi-
tality, catering, food service, and all
the activities and professions they are
studying and that one day will be their
livelihood.
Here are the figures for the 2010 event,
entitled “Back to basics” and focused
on the themes of quality and sustain-
ability: more than 28,000 visitors, in
spite of the fact that the heavy rain ru-
ined the whole of Sunday 2 May. 1,500
people packed into the picnic on the
grass, embellished by the menus cre-
ated by five champions of Italian cui-
sine: Massimo Bottura, Moreno Ce-
droni, Valentino Marcatilli, Vincenzo
Camerucci and Fabio Rossi. 2,500
hamburgers were consumed, especial-
ly by the children who came to Sanpa
with their parents, as well as 8,000
bottles of mineral water, 2,500 por-
tions of barbecued meat and fish, and
1,500 covers at the Osteria della Pasta,
one of the event’s catering facilities.
There’s a long list of chefs (35), food
experts, quality producers (130), food
critics and sommeliers who took part
in the event, held in the largest drug re-
covery community in Europe. There’s
no way we can mention them all by
name. But the most important fact, the
most significant figure for the Com-
munity, is the enthusiastic and skilful
participation of the 1,500 young resi-
dents at San Patrignano in all the vari-
ous aspects of Squisito, big and small
alike. Thanks to Squisito! they com-
plete the job training activities associ-
ated with their education program.
Squisito!Back to basics.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENTS?
With “Squisito!”, held from 30 April to 3 May, 2010, the world of food and wine comes to San Patrignano. Where the quest for quality is a key part of our educational process. In addition to these outstanding professionals, Squisito also hosts talks and round table discussions designed to stimulate reflection about job training options in the food and wine sector. The show includes various parallel events dedicated to wine, street food, and culinary experimentation.
Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.
Squisito! 2010 was a huge success.
There was a surge in attendance by
chefs and gourmet artisans, but
the key factor was the commitment
of the young people who make
the event possible
Particular interest was shown by the
public in the GoodGoods area, devot-
ed to international associations and
organisations involved in the recon-
version of drug cultivations in South
America, Thailand and Afghanistan, as
well as education projects in Italy. The
London restaurant, Fifteen, the US as-
sociation, Root of Peace, Turin-based
Piazza dei Mestieri, and Padua-based
Rebus, and their stalls, were visited by
thousands of people.
GoodGoods.
Here visitors came into contact with
some of the GoodGoods associations
and organisations that work in South
America, Afghanistan and the Far East to
break the chain of drugs and develop a
legal economy through the production of
high-quality foods and crafts. Presented
alongside them were some of the most
significant experiments in the field of
education, projects that believe in peo-
ple’s capacity to change through a proc-
ess of human and social redemption that
goes far beyond the issue of drugs.
Sponsors and corporate backing.
The event benefited from the sponsorship
of the UNODC, the United Nations Office
on Drugs and Crime, the Italian Ministry of
Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, the Region
of Piedmont and the Province of Brescia,
and funding from the Regions of Emilia-
Romagna and Lombardy, and the Province
of Rimini and the Municipality of Riccione.
The fact that Squisito! is now in its seventh
year is due to the support of companies
such as Autogrill, Assicurazioni genera-
li, Illy Caffè and Poste Italiane.
As a repeat of last year, Renault offered the
courtesy cars for the event.

WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENTS?
A three year partnership agreement
between Rolex and San Patrignano
brings exciting news,a partnership
has been extended to 2014 means a
further leap in prestige and quality.
Rolex is synonymous with the highest
level of sporting achievement and of-
fered one of its watches to the show’s
best rider, and will also give all the
winners of regional, junior and young
rider category winners in Italy the
chance to watch the event from the ri-
der’s grandstands, along with the top
riders in the world, their heroes.
Along with long time collaborators
Eleonora Ottaviani (Director of the
International Jumping Riders’ Club
and San Patrignano’s show director
since 1997) and Emile Hendrix (tech-
nical advisor), there was a new course
director, Louis Koninckx from the Ne-
therlands. According to Ottaviani, “It
is considered part of the evolution of a
show to change course designers eve-
ry once in a while, to keep the compe-
tition fresh. Koninckx has worked at
important shows like Rotterdam and
S-Hertogenbosch, but this is his first
time working in Italy”.
The CSI5* will live up to the highest
standards of excellence required by
such a rating.
Challenge Vincenzo Muccioli.A course that changes lives.
The 14th annual San Patrignano CSI5* and Vincenzo Muccioli Challenge, as always organized by the 1500 Community residents, is renowned for its technical excellence and high level of competition. The starting list was a virtual “who’s who” of show jumping with many of the world’s top riders.

The Vincenzo Muccioli Memorial, a youth football tournament organized by San Patrignano, is an eight-team competition dedicated to the memory of the Community’s founder.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENTS?
Vincenzo Muccioli always believed
in sport as an educational tool for
young people, to help form a well-
balanced, responsible character.
That’s why a wide range of sporting
activities have always been organ-
ized at San Patrignano, especially
team sports, which give kids the
chance to interact and learn respect
for others, in a context of fun and
personal growth.
Fifteen years ago, San Patrignano
came up with the idea of holding a
day dedicated to youth football, as
an opportunity to bring together
young people, Community residents
and champions from various youth
clubs. Since then, the event has been
repeated every year, with teams from
the finest youth teams in Italy.
The event has grown considerably
over the years: at first it was just a
three-way meeting held in one day,
but now it keeps everyone busy for
three days.
Many, many kids have taken part
in the Vincenzo Muccioli Memo-
rial over the years, all very young,
between the ages of eleven and thir-
teen, in the “esordienti” category.
Among them: Giuseppe Rossi, now
a forward for Villareal and the Italian
national team.
In addition to the kids on the turf,

an invaluable part has been played
by coaches Arrigo Sacchi and Mar-
cello Lippi, head coach of the Italian
national team, who in 2008 brought
along the World Cup that Italy won
in Germany in 2006.
In 2010, thanks to the cooperation
with the Federazione Sanmarinese
Gioco Calcio (FSGC), the Memorial
took place in San Marino, including
the Olympic stadium, one of the first
hybrid stadiums, where an artificial
green turf is complemented with nat-
ural grass growing on site.
As in previous years, eight pres-
tigious football clubs took their Jr.
teams: Chievo, Genoa, Inter, Juven-
tus, Sampdoria, Torino, Rimini and
for the fist time also San Marino.
The event included also a technical
session and a conference “Parents,
coaches and children in football”.
The coach Alberto Zaccheroni and
the SKY reporter and the Italian
soccer world champion in 1982 Pao-
lo Rossi participated as speakers.
The Memorial was held in coopera-
tion with the magazine Il Nuovo
Calcio, under the leadership of
Michele Di Cesare and sponsored
by Acqua Uliveto e Limonta.
Among the media partners we had
also la Gazzetta TV.
Torino won the 15° edition of the Vin-
cenzo Muccioli Memorial.
In sport, as in life, success depends on your drive, your enthusiasm and your willingness to challenge yourself. But that’s not enough. The role played by coaches is fundamental, since first and foremost, they are educators
116
The staff at San Patrignano are aware
of the usefulness of information
about the risks associated with the
use of drugs, but they also know that
this is not enough by itself. You have
to get the young residents emotion-
ally involved to induce a reflection.
That’s why the Community has been
organising theatre performances
throughout Italy since 2002. These
are based on the first-hand accounts
of young residents who have directly
experienced and overcome the prob-
lem of drug addiction.
All the activities organised as part of
the WeFree project always focus on a
strong central theme: it’s up to us.
It’s a common thread that runs
through the shows, training and lo-
cal events and which is based on two
main points:
• Awareness
Having a deep understanding of the
consequences of our actions for our-
selves, others and the world. Even
actions that are said to be normal
(“everyone does it”), not damaging
(“it’s just one hit”) or equivalent to
individual liberties (“I’m only hurting
myself”).
• Responsibility
Understanding how change is pos-
sible by beginning with the little
things that we do every day and by
taking responsibility for our choices
(“I don’t want to be party to it”). This
can make a big difference.
Shows
Stories, songs, feelings. Combined
with authoritative and verified sci-
entific information about the risks of
drugs. Ragazzi Permale and Fughe
da fermi are the touring shows of
San Patrignano, an integral part of
WeFree.It depends on us.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR PREVENTION?
The WeFree Project has grown out of our everyday experience with young people. We come into contact with them in theatres around Italy, through prevention initiatives based on the first-hand stories of young Community residents who have overcome addiction. But it is also based on our hundreds of encounters with students of all ages, as well as daily life at San Patrignano, a special vantage point for observing their defeats and victories.
Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.
the WeFree project. The stars of both
formats are the young Community
residents at the end of their reha-
bilitation programs. From the stage
they talk about their experiences of
squalor, addiction and – above all –
the determination that guided them
onto the way to recovery.
Fughe da fermi
A typically theatrical tale strewn
with literary references, short films
and music whereby the spectator,
wrapped up in the story’s atmosphere,
is encouraged to follow every chapter
in the life of the protagonist who tells
the tale of his experiences of squalor
and addiction. It is a show, a story and
a vehicle of scientific information.
Drugs and the social and psychologi-
cal damage caused by them are nar-
rated through a quick and straight-
forward structure, which conveys im-
ages, information and feelings about
a difficult topic: youth maladjustment.
Gianpaolo Brusini, Community toxi-
cologist and scientific manager, and
Pascal La Delfa, who has extensive
experience in the world of theatre,
cinema, TV and radio, take turns at
hosting the show. Giosuè Lastrucci is
the face of the show.
Ragazzi Permale
Somewhere between theatre and a
talk show, the performance explores
ways of life that are at risk and the
various aspects associated with
youth maladjustment. This is done
through telling true stories, acted out
by the young residents of San Patrig-
nano. Young people talk to other
young people using songs, words,
shows and studies as a straightfor-

ward way to talk about drugs from
an original and different perspective,
the perspective of individuals who
have experienced the problem at
first-hand.
In 2007, the performance was pre-
sented by Francesco Apolloni, actor,
director and writer, who had already
worked with San Patrignano during
drug prevention campaigns. Along-
side him, Luca Pulino and Riccardo
Zuccolini spoke about their experi-
ences on the stage.
Educating the educators
At the same time as supporting the
students, a structured relationship with
the educators is also indispensable, in
order to provide them with useful tools
to tackle the problems of addiction
with the young residents.
For this reason, some of the Communi-
ty educators are available to carry out
in-depth meetings with teachers and
parents, aimed at tackling the issues of
substance use and identifying possible
behavioural strategies and solutions.
This may take place either as a result
of the performances or even in a totally
independent way. The project aims to
make a contribution towards building
a relationship between schools, fami-
lies and experts.
Some figures regarding prevention:
• More than 200,000 young people
have taken part in the prevention
theatre shows over the years
• More than 300 theatre shows have
been staged throughout Italy
• More than 1,300 secondary schools
scattered throughout Italy have been
involved in WeFree activities
• Approximately 6,000 students visit
the Community every year

Visits to the Community
Every year, approximately 6,000 stu-
dents visit the Community and take
part in the debates and meetings
with a group of young San Patrig-
nano residents, who explain the pre-
vention campaigns, tell their stories
and, more importantly, encourage
real debate with the students.
This debate also continues after the
visit due to the interactive spaces
available to the young: web sites,
blogs, forums and Facebook.
The students stay at San Patrignano
for a whole day.
In 2009-10, there were 180 visits,
meetings and debates at San Patrig-
nano. 5,900 young people came to
visit.

shows or visits at San Patrignano
ask the WeFree team to take part
in assemblies in their schools. Dur-
ing the 2009/10 academic year, five
meetings and debates were held in
secondary schools.

and secondary schools participate,
as well as representatives of the Ital-
ian Government, international bodies
such as the United Nations, volunteer
associations and whose working in the
field of social work and related issues.
The main theme of the 2010 edition,
“It depend on us” is based on two
principles: awareness and responsi-
bility - awareness to fully understand
the consequences of our actions,
even those which may initially seem
harmless, and responsibility , enact-
ing change with seemingly small,
everyday actions.

rizons, and find out about amazing
organizations through the many dif-
ferent activities that were organized,

opening of the entire event, which ex-
plored the social and economic impact
of the normalization of drug consump-
tion. The old distinction between pro-
ducing and consuming countries is
no longer valid. We are all facing the
direct health and psychological con-
sequences related to drug abuse. Indi-
rectly, in Italy as well as in other coun-
tries, the entire society is affected by
the costs of drug use, facing a reduced
participation in the social life, high
costs for families, productivity loss, in-
creased expenses for law enforcement
and international cooperation. In the
afternoon the area hosted two open
meetings with students.

The San Patrignano Community, with the support of the Ministry of Education and regional scholastic offices, has been incrementing their activities tied to prevention in the last few years, organizing theatrical presentations based on “peer to peer” education in many Italian regions.
