This is demonstrated through financial support and active contributions to various initiatives, including: contribution for the realization of the Elderly Recreation Centre "Arciso Mastrotto", including a café, a lounge, a multi-purpose room with spaces for reading, outpatient and administrative activities, and an outdoor park donation for the construction of the bocce court at the "Arciso Mastrotto" Elderly Centre financial support to the "San Bortolo Foundation", a non-profit association that actively raises funds for the San Bortolo hospital in Vicenza, to contribute to the fight against the COVID-19 health emergency through the purchase of materials for the protection of health personnel and medical equipment support for sports activities through sponsorship of the Arzignano youth football team and of volleyball in Santa Croce sull'Arno donation of a vehicle equipped with a platform for wheelchairs to the volunteering association S.O.G.I.T.
