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?

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.

Being introspective.

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

BNP Parisbas

The invaluable partnership with

Fondazione BNL also continued in

2010, benefiting the Community’s

Medical Centre. Equipment contin-

ued to be installed in different de-

partments.

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.

Italian Episcopal Conference

The Italian Episcopal Conference

once more contributed towards sup-

porting the Community in 2010.

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

In our eyes, no young person with a drug problem has a hopeless, incurable disease that they are doomed to live with until death. Instead, we see them as unique, irreplaceable human beings, full of talent and potential that they need to rediscover and learn to express.

Taking that first step.Willingness and motivation. Learning to trust others.

person’s background, but –more importantly–

that it shows their motivation to change.

This determination is further explored in a pre-

liminary meeting with Community staff, in which

they present the methods, principles and educa-

tional programme. If necessary, a final interview

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.

Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.

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-

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.

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

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

The medical centre.Healthcare on a human scale.

Long term care is mainly reserved

for those suffering from AIDS,

and different functions are per-

problems;

C. hospice and terminally ill pa-

Our activities.

• 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

taurant school.

The Study Center offers 9 different

courses for earning a State second-

ary school diploma, two night school

tic programs staffed by professors

recommended by the Ministry of

Education who teach 150 hours in

order to help residents finish mid-

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

in 2010 this group played for the first

time at a theatrical event organised

in the province of Rimini.

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.

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.

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.

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

• 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-

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.

What training

do you offer?

74

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.

hour course sees the participation of

14 young women and involves a final

examination to achieve the profes-

sional qualification, to be taken by

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.

WHAT TRAINING DO YOU OFFER?

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.

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-

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

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-

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-

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-

minous diet that is completely GMO-

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,

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-

In keeping the bees, the young resi-

dents call upon the valuable, free

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.

Cultivation.

The cultivation sector also manages two

other businesses, namely the production

of ornamental plants and flowers in green-

houses and of vegetables and herbs for

fresh use on seven hectares of land adjacent

to the Community. The vegetables are pro-

duced using strictly organic methods.

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”.

Its shelves are lined with home lin-

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.

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-

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.

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.

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

What do

Annual Mission Report.SanPatrignano.

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.

Thousand of students from middle

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.

A day to look beyond our usual ho-

rizons, and find out about amazing

organizations through the many dif-

ferent activities that were organized,

divided into three areas of interest.

WeForumA round table discussion, the formal

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.

WeTheatreThis space was primarily dedicated to

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. WeFree Day represents an annual celebration of this activities.
