How can one have trust when everything seems to be collapsing? This crucial question, which challenges every person in the face of wars and divisions, was answered by the event \u201cBrick by Brick. The Strength of Bonds.\u201d<\/a> Moderated by Giorgio Vittadini, the speakers showed that hope is not a vain wait, but a concrete work that starts from the ground up. From the social cooperatives in Carpi assisting people with frailties, to the educational support in Naples' Rione Sanit\u00e0; from the delicate work of protecting minors, to the fruitful collaboration between the Third Sector and institutions in the Marche region, stories of \u201ccreative minorities\u201d emerged. These are people who, without waiting for top-down solutions, are rebuilding the social fabric. The final reflection by Cardinal Matteo Zuppi reminded everyone of the value of gratuitousness and the need for an alliance for a hope that does not disappoint, because it is founded on real bonds that generate a future.

BRICK BY BRICK. THE STRENGTH OF CONNECTIONS<\/strong> Sunday, August 24, 2025 3\u00a0PM Auditorium D3<\/p>\n

Speakers<\/strong>\u00a0H.Em. Card. Matteo Maria Zuppi, President of the CEI (Italian Episcopal Conference), Archbishop of Bologna. Testimonies by Paolo Gobbi, President of the Volunteer Service Center of the Marche region, and Luigino Quarchioni, Third Sector Forum of the Marche region; Chiara Griffini, President of the National Service for the Protection of Minors of the CEI; Maila Quaglia, Nazareno Social Cooperative; Genny Guariglia, President of the Icaro Association, Naples. Moderated by Giorgio Vittadini, President of the Foundation for Subsidiarity.<\/p>\n

GIORGIO VITTADINI<\/strong>\u00a0Good afternoon, and welcome to this meeting titled \u201cBrick by Brick: The Strength of Bonds,\u201d which, as I will now tell you, features speakers who are builders of society from the ground up, and a great champion of these constructions, His Eminence Cardinal Zuppi, whom we thank infinitely for his presence. If you will, the question is not one for specialists, but one we all have: \u201cHow can one hope, have faith, in a moment when it seems like everything is falling apart? There are wars, people can\u2019t agree, states are in conflict, etc., etc. How can one have faith without thinking one must retreat into the small and beautiful, forgetting the rest?\u201d<\/p>\n

I refer to two phrases. One marked the pontificate of Pope Ratzinger, about creative minorities. On the day John Paul II died, Ratzinger was in Subiaco and said: \u201cIn this moment when everything is falling apart, we must start again from creative minorities, from places where life begins anew, like St. Benedict did.\u201d Everything had fallen apart, was falling apart, and in that place that still seems unreachable now, outside of Rome, he began to build something that changed society. This phrase echoes a statement by the American philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, often quoted by Fr. Giussani, who said: \u201cA decisive turning point in that earlier history occurred when men and women of good will turned aside from the task of shoring up the Roman imperium and ceased to identify the continuation of civility and moral community with the maintenance of that imperium. What they set themselves to achieve instead\u2026 was the construction of new forms of community within which the moral life could be sustained.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, the theme here, reflected in the title, is \u201cThe Strength of Bonds.\u201d What does the strength of bonds mean? What does it mean for relationships to be reborn, as you will see, in places and situations that seem impossible, without waiting for power to be able to rebuild them? The strength of bonds puts something there that is a novelty for someone, right away. In those spots, something good is reborn; it doesn\u2019t wait for the empire to be propped up, but something good is born there. This is not just a moral principle; it is a fundamental principle of the social doctrine of the Church, which is the idea of subsidiarity. Subsidiarity, proclaimed in 1931 in\u00a0Quadragesimo Anno<\/em>, is based on the idea that no higher-level entity can replace something that starts well from the bottom. But today, in 2025, it says something more: it's not just a problem of organization, but that the starting point is places where the human is reborn. Where, instead of the selfishness of individuals leading to collective well-being through an invisible hand in economics, or \u201chomo homini lupus\u201d in politics, desire, faith, and ideals, rebuilt right there, provide the strength for a new construction that gradually becomes an example for the general whole. And think that today this is so widely felt that a principle like this was taken up by the former governor of the Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan, a great world-renowned economist who wrote a book titled \u201cThe Third Pillar,\u201d in which he says: \u201cThe state and the market are no longer enough; we need places where something new is reborn.\u201d We are betting on this method, we continue to bring it forward, and you will see today what that means. Then we will hear from His Eminence Don Matteo, whose name is evocative... So, to see what this means, I will finish this introduction by saying two things.<\/p>\n

First, that this leads not only to society but to a slogan that may seem strange among us, but which is: more society, more state. Not, as we might have said 30 years ago, just more society, less state, but more society and more collaboration with public administration, all together, given the problem. As President Mattarella told us at the Foundation for Subsidiarity, to whom we gave the first subsidiarity award: \u201cSubsidiarity is, first and foremost, an expression and guarantee of freedom for people and social bodies that contribute to the general interest and who, in the plurality of their contributions, work to continuously regenerate those values of humanity and co-responsibility that represent one of the most precious legacies of our social model, the European social model.\u201d So, a President of the Republic who embraces this method and encouraged us to build it. So, here today we are not talking about the small and beautiful, but about something that looks at the whole and hopes to be a method. So I am very curious to hear today what this means, and so I introduce at this point, besides His Eminence whom I have already introduced, our speakers who are first of all Maila Quaglia, from the Il Nazareno social cooperative, who will tell us about an impressive experience with people with disabilities in the city of Bologna. Then Genny Guariglia, president of the Icaro association in Naples, which is in the Rione Sanit\u00e0 district. Naples is not just the negative things that are said about it, right there. And then we have Chiara Griffini, president of the National Service for the Protection of Minors of the CEI, who will tell us that even in very difficult situations, it is possible to recover. And finally, we have with us Luigino Quarchioni, from the Third Sector Forum of the Marche region, and Paolo Gobbi, president of the Volunteer Service Center of the Marche region, who will show us how this relates to the public sphere. So, a little film we are interested in seeing. So, I give the floor first to Maila. Please.<\/p>\n

MAILA QUAGLIA<\/strong>\u00a0Thank you, good evening everyone, and thank you, Giorgio. I bring my testimony today drawing from the etymology of the word \u201cwitness\u201d (testimone<\/em>): one who attests, not one who does. It should not have been me here talking about what I'm about to tell you, but those who started the work of Nazareno. My contribution is part of a long story that begins with two collaborators of a priest in the 1980s, Sergio Zini and Marco Viola, the current president and vice-president of the Nazareno cooperative network, who started the first day center in a modest space of a hotel school founded in the 1950s by this enlightened priest. We are in the city of Carpi, in the province of Modena. There isn't time to tell the story of this enlightened man who, after the war, launched a series of initiatives, the most important of which was this hotel school, to give young people orphaned by the war, and their families, the opportunity of a profession, a job, but above all the opportunity of hope for reconstruction. A few years ago here at the Meeting there was a beautiful exhibition on the story of Don Ivo Silingardi, but today is not the context to tell you about him. Instead, I will tell you about the work of communion between these two great men who are still living stones of this network of cooperatives from which everything was born, together with this priest. In the 1980s, the main emergency in the area, and indeed throughout Italy, was no longer children orphaned by the war, but finding answers for young people with disabilities, who were rarely known about because they were essentially kept at home. The germinal cell of the Nazareno cooperative was born around responding to these young people, starting with the opening of a day center. Then, following their questions, their needs, everything we have today was born: a network of five social cooperatives that were structured in the 1990s when the law allowed the creation of Type A and Type B cooperatives, the former for assistance and rehabilitation, and the latter for the work integration of disadvantaged people. Everything was born by following the needs and desires of the people. There is an anecdote I would like to share with you, about Cesare, who attended the day center and is still with us today. He said to Marco: \u201cMarco, you tricked me, because you still haven't, you told me you would open the Nazareno at night, but the Nazareno at night is still not here.\u201d And since Marco Viola was on the phone, with the old corded phones we used to have, Cesare thought it was a good idea to cut the telephone cord to protest Marco not having yet opened the Nazareno at night. The first Nazareno at night was born, indeed, following this example which is somewhat emblematic of everything else that was born: several homes, a residential rehabilitation center, work training areas, a vocational training center, all following step-by-step in dialogue with the public administration, which sometimes helped us and sometimes hindered us, but perhaps it was precisely because of these obstacles that creativity was unleashed even more. Today we have this large organization that employs about 660 people. We realized how many we were this year when we made a small Christmas gift for all employees and collaborators. My story with the Nazareno cooperative began in 2000. Nazareno cooperative developed in the Modena area, particularly in Carpi. I was graduating in Bologna, and a museum director in the city center had a dream: to open a museum run by patients with mental disorders. He couldn't find any cooperatives in the area willing to take on this project, which was a bit strange, also because at that time cooperatives were mainly involved in gardening and cleaning services. The circumstance was fortunate. This museum director, through another person, got to know the Nazareno Cooperative. Nazareno Cooperative wasn't in Bologna, but Maila was, looking for a job. So I started with the Nazareno cooperative with this small group of patients from a day center, in this project of managing a museum in downtown Bologna. I never would have imagined that this would kick off a whole series of initiatives that have since been born in Bologna in the field of psychiatry, which today sees us engaged in rehabilitation and work integration. Work integration has developed in the museum sector and beyond. As for the need for more intensive care in residential settings, the most significant experience of our organization is a psychiatric residence that houses very young people with severe mental disorders. This facility is called Casa Mantovani. It's the experience that drains most of my energy. A couple of years after its creation in 2006, other initiatives for mental health soon followed in Bologna, like group homes, because the need to provide post-residency continuity for people who couldn't return home immediately arose. This is perhaps the most complex reality we face today, because it demands not only know-how, but above all a way of being and an ability to adapt to emerging needs. Don't imagine a psychiatric community as the collective imagination might picture it; it's a place, a home, that welcomes young people aged 18 to 25. They are young people who embody, in a caricatured way, the dilemmas and dramas of the current generation, a generation marked by an anthropology that has made individualism and performance the banners of success and personal development. But it is precisely these categories that have put so many young people in great difficulty, who have had to defend themselves from their internal anxieties by developing psychopathological symptoms. I believe this society, because of this anthropology, makes people sick, and these young people are crying out that there is something we need to change. First of all, the categories with which we structure our lives. In the invitation to this meeting, Giorgio asked two questions: what can the non-profit sector bring to society? I believe that the non-profit sector, precisely because it is based on a starting point of gratuitousness, a timeless and endless commitment, brings a vital spark of creativity, desire, and a will to build that no top-down project can ever muster. To the public administration, likewise, we bring a healthy disruption, because projects cannot be designed on paper but are born from names and surnames that meet, from bonds that are established and that demand rethinking in our work day after day. What I hope and wish is that this meeting is also followed by those who govern us at the local, regional, and national levels: that they are careful not to dry up these propulsive experiences that come from people who join together to respond to needs. Because there is a drift towards \"managerialization,\" forgive the neologism, that those who make decrees and laws are trying to lead us towards, which is, in my opinion, a very dangerous drift. For example, our organization was born with a very strong rehabilitative drive and vocation. Today we have ended up under the regulations for private nursing homes, because we are in the rehabilitation sector and within healthcare. The great challenge is to try to harmonize these institutional demands with the hearts and faces of the people we meet, a challenge that is not simple also due to the disparity of resources in this sector, but above all because we are watched over without those who have the task of making laws for us knowing us directly. Thank you for listening, and I will stop here, Giorgio. I hope I stayed within my time. So, let's move from Bologna to Naples with Genny.<\/p>\n

GENNY GUARIGLIA<\/strong>\u00a0We will start with a video. [VIDEO PLAYS]\u00a0GENNY GUARIGLIA<\/strong>\u00a0So, as you saw from the video, the Icaro association is an association that helps kids with their studies, but I would like to try to tell you about what is inside everything we experience there at Icaro. The association was born from the desire of a group of teachers and non-teachers to create a place that could help kids with the struggle of studying, but above all, a place that could share life with them. We help them, they are mostly high school students, so we help them study various subjects and we teach Italian to foreign students (there are many, as you also saw in the video). We work with the local schools. The Sanit\u00e0 district has a very high density, so there are many schools around our center. We therefore work with the schools, with the families, and with the support of Don Enrico Assini, who is the parish priest of the village. What I have seen happen over these years is that for the many kids, the many volunteers who later joined that small initial group, Icaro becomes a family. \"Family\" is the word that recurs most often when they talk about their experience with us. I think it's because there is a climate of friendship among us, a certain way of living our bonds that strikes those who meet us and strikes me too. In particular, I was able to experience this personally in the last year and a half, because in December 2023 I lost my 18-year-old son Vittorio, after whom our association is now named. I went back to Icaro right after his death, and when I came home in the evening, I had a strange experience: my heart was at peace, and I couldn't explain it. I asked myself: \"How is it possible that in my heart, where there is so much pain, there is also the experience of peace?\" I realized this: that through the faces I met, through the stories I encountered there, I was witnessing a miracle, the miracle of the human blossoming again. It is evident to me there that fear, pain, and fragility are not the final word on the human being. Nicodemus asked Jesus: \u201cCan a man be born when he is old?\u201d Well, I say yes, he can be reborn. He can be reborn at 80, which is the age of our oldest volunteer, he can be reborn at 15, at 18. Given the short time, I want to give you just two examples, two things that happened this year. One concerns meeting Ilaria, a girl who dropped out of school at one point. When she came to Icaro, she was going through a period of deep darkness; she thought her life was worthless and that it could even end right there. Then I saw her slowly emerge from the darkness because she realized, perhaps simply, that someone was waiting for her just as she was. A short time ago, she wrote this. She wrote: \u201cI found a place where I started to breathe again, where there was no rush to be okay, but time to be fragile. I met people who knew how to be there in silence, with respect, with care, without ever telling me what I had to do, but making me understand that I could make it. Today I know that you fall, but I also know that you can get back up thanks to someone who makes you understand that despite everything, you deserve to be seen and that every life still has this possibility within it. I found this possibility thanks to Icaro.\u201d Ilaria then graduated and now comes to Icaro to help the younger kids. The other encounter I wanted to share with you is with Marco\u2014these are fictional names\u2014a boy who made serious mistakes in his life that led him to a youth detention center. When he got out, he came to Icaro. He looked around and after a while said to me: \u201cEverything here is free, right?\u201d And I said: \u201cYes, why?\u201d He replied: \u201cBecause I can feel it.\u201d I asked him what he meant, and he said: \u201cEven though I ended up in jail, I recognize gratuitousness because I learned it from my mother, and I see it here.\u201d And he told me: \u201cThis is a place you can come back to when you don't know where else to go.\u201d These are just two of the many things I have seen happen before my eyes. So, to conclude, the phrase that Don Giussani used to say comes to my mind: \u201cNo one generates unless they are generated.\u201d To be generated, to recognize that life is a gift, that Someone (with a capital S) at this moment, in this instant, is giving it to us, and that this life becomes more itself, truer, more beautiful if we can share it with others. This is the experience I see happening there at Icaro.<\/p>\n

GIORGIO VITTADINI<\/strong>\u00a0From two places, a condition that seems irrecoverable and yet finds hope again here. Chiara Griffini, president of the National Service for the Protection of Minors of the CEI. The floor is yours.<\/p>\n

CHIARA GRIFFINI<\/strong>\u00a0Thank you, good afternoon everyone. I confess that when I read the title of this year's Meeting, I spontaneously thought of the mission of the protection service, which is to enter the desert of trust, of life, of silence, of the solitude generated by abuse\u2014abuse that occurred in ecclesial environments\u2014and there, to truly set in motion processes of regeneration. In \"Choruses from \u2018The Rock\u2019,\" T.S. Eliot tells us that we cannot rebuild with only what remains, but that we need new bricks: new gestures, new words, new relationships. And we are aware in our mission that tools and procedures are not enough; we need informed people, listening networks, shared skills, and also safeguarding communities\u2014that is, communities that include training on protection within their educational paths. Because the word \"to protect\" (tutelare<\/em>), in its etymology\u00a0tueri<\/em>, means \"to watch over,\" and education's first foundational movement is to watch, to observe. This already tells us that talking about protection is not just about preventing and combating abuse, but it is also, and above all, about promoting the relational good that animates every form of community life. That is, taking care that our relationships are relationships that, for each of us, always and in any case, help us to evolve individually and socially. But above all, that the environments we inhabit, including ecclesial environments, are places where respect and dignity are inviolable values\u2014inviolable values that allow each person to become a keeper of the other, to ensure that the exercise of authority is always only in the spirit of service and never becomes an appropriation\u2014so the other becomes \"my property\"\u2014or a usurpation. To do this, delicate formational work is needed, and this is the first path we have put in place as the Italian Church through our guidelines, whose core principle speaks of community accountability. It says, in fact, that everyone can and must do their part. To do what? To truly be that external factor that makes the difference, that prevents the context from being clouded, that ensures a relationship never deviates from its generative purpose. But at the heart of all this, I find another delicate step that I would like to share with you, which is listening to those who have been hurt. Indeed, the second principle of the Italian Church's guidelines is called \"Listening to and Accompanying Victims,\" because listening is the very first form of prevention. It is no coincidence, then, that alongside the diocesan services for the protection of minors that promote educational and formational activities, there are also listening centers. These are places where anyone who believes they may have been a victim of abuse, or their family members, or people who are aware of it, can turn to present their report to the ecclesiastical authority. But I also want to make an important point: anyone who turns to these centers is always informed of the possibility of also reporting to the competent civil authorities. I said they are called listening centers because we place the person at the center, with their needs, with their demand for truth and justice. And so I would like to lend my voice to the mother of a minor who was a victim of abuse, who wrote in one of the reflections proposed on the last national day: \u201cBut here, in the disorientation and clamor of the scandal, discreet and delicate, comes the presence of the Church, which, wounded itself, does not give up on caring for those who were betrayed in the trust they had given. With its listening centers, it first supports families, helping them to speak out. Then, through the intervention of bishops and collaborators, and by means of concrete initiatives, it demonstrates its commitment to naming and giving visibility to these acts, calling them by their name and defining them for what they are: abuses of the good faith of so many young people, abuses of their spontaneous and innocent trust, abuses of the credibility of the Gospel message, but above all, crimes to be reported to the competent ecclesiastical and civil authorities.\u201d This is part of the reflections that were made public last year on the occasion of the national day that the Italian Church has held since 2021 on November 18 each year, coinciding with what is now the World Day (then it was only the European Day) for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. This was just to say how the Church positions itself in a network with civil society to combat the plague of abuse, not only within its own ranks but so that protection becomes a universal language. If this first fragment allows us to focus on the brick of listening, I would like to read you a second one that offers another, equally important brick. It is a fragment from the reflection of a couple of parents, which you can also find on the website of the National Service for the Protection of Minors: \u201cWhen the scandal broke, our community immediately split between the accusers of the abuser, hurt and resentful for what had been suffered, and his supporters, unreasonably blind to the evidence. In an instant, years of human friendship and Christian fraternity gave way to a struggle between factions. What surprises and embitters us most is that the criterion for the division was once again the person of the abuser. Who was with him, who was against him. There was an enormous difficulty in transcending the circumstance, in transcending the abuser to place oneself in the arms of the Lord and be healed by Him. The ecclesiastical hierarchy and the religious experience we were following expressed judgments of truth and mercy on what had happened; they immediately took action to prevent the community from imploding and to mitigate conflicts between people. Unfortunately, more than a decade passed before others in the Church took care of those who had suffered the abuse firsthand or through family ties.\u201d I wanted to read this fragment because I believe it tells us something important, a new brick we absolutely must lay: that of seeing those who have the courage to report not as the ones who caused the tsunami, but as the one, or the ones, who want to call the community back to rediscover the strength of that bond and to undertake a serious review, so that the community truly understands not simply how it could have happened, but how it allowed, for example, the exercise of authority to become an appropriation, a usurpation, or how the trust placed in relationships was betrayed. I want to conclude, however, with a third brick that comes from the biblical commentary for the last national day. It is a commentary that I invite you to reread, because it is the story of a victim who reinterpreted what she suffered through the story of Joseph and his brothers, and presented abuse in ecclesial contexts as the story of a broken fraternity, but a fraternity that can be reborn. It says: \u201cWithout authentic forgiveness that involves the journey of both those who must offer it and those who must receive it at various levels, no trust is possible, no garment can be woven; one remains naked and alone, victim and aggressor. Any patch one tries to fit over the tear inflicted would only make things worse.\u201d I believe this allows us to understand that the new brick is a new perspective on abuse, which is different from any other form of crime. Because only if we look at abuse in this way can we then truly undertake authentic paths of healing for those who have been hurt, but also of re-education for those who have hurt, because the Church forgets no one, and so that there may be an action of reparation, justice, and prevention for all. Thank you.<\/p>\n

GIORGIO VITTADINI<\/strong>\u00a0So, let's move on to the next question. Can these things collaborate with public administration? So, the floor goes to Paolo Gobbi, as I mentioned, president of the Volunteer Service Center of the Marche region, and Luigino Quarchioni of the Third Sector Forum of the Marche region. Please.<\/p>\n

PAOLO GOBBI<\/strong>\u00a0Thank you, and good evening everyone. Walking through the Meeting this morning with Luigino and Guido Canavesi, a fact struck me: seven million Italians do volunteer work. We, as the Third Sector Forum (Luigino is the spokesperson and I as CSV Marche), try to support these people and associations. The Forum is a more political body (it has 33 second-level associations) and the CSV provides technical and operational support. The CSV supports in terms of training, consulting, participation in calls for proposals, and all services are free. However, we realized that it's not enough to stand alone; we had to establish a relationship with public administrations, a strong and synergistic relationship. So in 2020, based on an intuition of my predecessor Simone Bucchi, we began a relationship that led us to establish five projects with the Marche Region, funded by the Marche Region, in which associations\u2014the large networks together with the small associations (there are more than 700 in Marche and 450 are part of the CSV)\u2014began to carry out projects where the association continued to do what it did best, its daily activity, while we supported them in monitoring, reporting, and communication activities. This is because we want to be an agent of development in our territory, and we wanted to do it in a concrete way. From this, important activities were born. We brought the associations to the table with the public entity, so the State and society collaborate together (and increasingly together, as was said at the beginning). I remember the happy faces of the people and the presidents of these associations who, even after the first project, after the first year, found a utility, a correspondence in this\u2014that is, a correspondence in the utility that the CSV and the Forum gave them, and in the relationships and connections between them that grew and developed, so a relationship of mutual support. It was an innovative path that we continue to pursue. We have done five projects. The first project we called \"Riesco\" (I can manage), even though we weren't sure we could, but in the end, we did it with great satisfaction. The second we called \"Facciamo rete\" (Let's network): our intention was precisely to network the associations in the territory and make them collaborate with each other, because until then, collaboration happened autonomously. Thinking back to the title of the Meeting (as Card. Zuppi said this morning at Mass), each of them was a brick that stood on its own and provided support in a time of crisis like during Covid in 2020. But, we helped, we facilitated the construction and the act of placing one brick of solidarity next to another to build a house, to build a structure within which a community could be created\u2014a community of interests, a community of encounter, a community of values. This has been recognized, so much so that more and more associations want to participate in these projects, in these moments of collaboration with the public entity. And I conclude by also mentioning the last project we did, a shared project design. While the other projects were simple grant calls, in this case, we collaborated directly with Councilor Biondi and the Marche Region, with the CSV and the Forum facilitating this meeting, and with local councilors, not through a grant call, but through a sharing of needs. We undertook a long and complex process, but it was real, because it resulted in what I would call a circular subsidiarity, to quote Zamagni, which helped everyone. Because understanding the needs, and then also understanding the person who lives in our territory in the Marche Region, who is supported in this way. So it was certainly, to answer the question, possible to collaborate together. You have to set aside a bit of self-referentiality, perhaps. And thinking back on these five years and these five projects, I was struck by the importance of intermediate bodies, because only intermediate bodies, together with the State, with the public entity, can concretely support our society. We cannot do without intermediate bodies because they are truly the heart of our country, of our State. And only by integrating the public entity, by having more State and more society, through these intermediate bodies, can we maintain that social cohesion, that social innovation that is truly the heart of our country. Thank you.<\/p>\n

LUIGINO QUARCHIONI<\/strong>\u00a0Good afternoon, everyone. I thank Paolo, who has already expanded on and described the five projects. They are there, let's say, on the monitor, but I'll mention them very quickly because I'm keen to give you back a bit of the lesson learned after these five years of experience with subsidiarity, which Vittadini called us to reflect on. The five projects were carried out over five years: Riesco, Facciamo rete, Viridee, Welfare Cult, and the last one is Radici. Radici is still ongoing and will end in September of next year. These are five projects that have adapted to the times. The first, Riesco, responded to Covid, to the demands, needs, and dramatic situations that needed to be addressed at that moment. Immediately after, with \"Facciamo rete,\" we began to understand the wounds left by Covid and the pandemic, so we worked more on the worsening of certain needs, of certain desires\u2014we'll call them desires too. Then with \"Viridee\" we focused more on the third sector organizations themselves, because Covid also changed the system of relationships within the third sector. We were not prepared for such a revolution. We had to reorganize teams, volunteers, remotivate them, give them a new vision of the change that was underway. Then \"Welfare Cult,\" through cultural initiatives in the broadest, most imaginable sense, we tried to influence and change the community for the better. And the last one is \"Radici,\" which has a very new, very challenging element. In our discussions with the Marche Region (so Councilor Biondi, and Simone Bucchi from the CSV, whom Paolo mentioned earlier\u2014these are the men and women who believed in this), we requested and agreed with the Region that one-third of the resources of the third project would be allocated to all the other small, neighborhood associations that submitted projects. This is a very courageous and new path, also from an administrative point of view, and we are in this phase. It's also mature and responsible, because the 18 networks, representing 800 local presences, responsibly said that a portion of this money must go for the good of the many associations and for the things they were doing in the territory.<\/p>\n

I'll go to the numbers, but I'll cite just one, the others are below. Simply, the services we provided in the first four projects amount to 247,116. I mention the last six digits as well because you can imagine what each one of these meant, what it meant for us and what it meant for the community of the Marche region. Then I'll go on and conclude by giving you back three, let's say, feelings, three lessons that this project has taught us in some way. The first: good things often arise from crises. Covid, at the moment this project was born, we had a demand of needs and poverty that had grown, sharpened, exploded, an unimaginable social anger that we all experienced. And the third sector organizations were under-resourced, with fewer volunteers because they had less capacity to have them, and with difficulty in responding to this. Here is the pact among all the organizations that we made with the Region, between us CSV and Forum who provided support, but also subjects beyond public bodies, for example, foundations. The banking foundations shared a path with us, accompanying the guarantee for the sureties that these projects needed. When there is a lead partner managing a network project, even if it's a structured network, it doesn't have the financial capacity, the guarantees to be able to, say, have sureties of 2-3 million euros (they are obviously undercapitalized, that's the life of all and most third sector organizations). The foundations stepped in, saying: \u201cWe will guarantee 50%.\u201d 30% of that guarantee was put up by the bank issuing the surety, and 20% remained the responsibility of the third sector organizations. Those of us who do project planning know what this meant. One last consideration is entirely internal. This project did good for the third sector, because we are not immune to the crisis that this society is experiencing. When someone told us (the Censis report) that we are in a social mucilage where the 'I' prevails over the 'we,' and mucilages are millions of filaments that never touch, when they told us this, it obviously worried us. And third sector organizations are also made of men and women; they are often afraid of change. And these projects, five years of co-design tables with the organizations and with other subjects, made us discover and made us less afraid of being allies, of sharing budgets, projects, activities, initiatives with other subjects, and perhaps in this process, even passing the baton, that is, one network took over from another when there was difficulty. It was a fantastic lesson, very beautiful, a great human and social experience, desirable, I would say. I'll close with a quip, which is the feeling you gave me back by telling the things we do, that you do. So I imagined the third sector, but... \u201csecond to whom?\u201d A question comes to my mind at a time like this. Thank you.<\/p>\n

GIORGIO VITTADINI<\/strong>\u00a0The floor to Don Matteo.<\/p>\n

H.EM. CARD. MATTEO MARIA ZUPPI<\/strong>\u00a0The only thing to say, in my opinion, would be thank you. Because I think we have listened to testimonies, as Maila said at the beginning, that actually represent so much history, so much passion, so many realities, so much suffering, so many deserts. Because in the situations we have heard about, there is often so much loneliness, terrible difficulties. I truly think we must thank them. I looked for two phrases from \"Spes non confundit<\/em>,\" from the bull of what we are living, of this Jubilee, and in my opinion also of this very particular Meeting, because it truly helps us to understand how to look with hope. Giorgio said at the beginning, and others also sometimes say: \u201cBut how is hope possible? How is it possible in such a complicated, difficult situation, and so on?\u201d And hope is precisely this. Hope is not for when things are going well; hope, in fact, in some ways is seen precisely when there is no hope. That's where you find it. So, there are two phrases. One: \u201cIt is good to pay attention to the great deal of good that is present in the world so as not to fall into the temptation of considering oneself overwhelmed by evil and violence.\u201d This is very true. Then it creeps in, it becomes a bit of skepticism, a somewhat realistic, pragmatic, prudent way. As in the song I quoted today, \"The Decent People,\" who, well, are so decent that they keep their goodness to themselves, let's say, they don't share it, so they lose it. And then the other thing Pope Francis said is the alliance, as you were just saying, the alliance for social hope. He called for an alliance and said it should be inclusive and not ideological, and that it should work for the future. And I believe that all of their experiences are born precisely from this alliance, which is by no means easy or a given.<\/p>\n

And with Giorgio, it is clear that, let's say, talking about subsidiarity is his very theme. But it's not just Giorgio's hobbyhorse; thank goodness he has this hobbyhorse and that he never stops questioning, making us question, and growing. Because what is subsidiarity? It is social alliance, thinking of ourselves together. It is\u2014I don't remember who mentioned self-referentiality earlier\u2014which means wasting resources. We truly, sometimes you understand when the Gospel says at a certain point: \u201cLook, what you have will be taken from you.\u201d You threw it away, you wasted it, you kept it for yourself, you did business with it, you didn't achieve what you could have with nothing, and it says: \u201cI'm taking it away from you, I'm taking it, I'm giving it to someone who will make it bear fruit.\u201d It's true, it's right. That is, faced with so much suffering, one says: \u201cWhat can we do?\u201d This is subsidiarity. For this, I believe a specific applause, and I don't say this just because, but a specific applause for Giorgio who is rightly so focused on this.<\/p>\n

A few other things on the matter of the third sector, very rightly said. And what is the great risk? It's the risk of becoming standardized, of losing that added value that is fundamental. This is the problem, that \"something more\" that must remain as a specific trait, which is gratuitousness. A little while ago, practically all of you, in one way or another\u2014it struck me that gratuitousness is like my mother. Yes, gratuitousness is like a mother; when you feel it, that is gratuitousness. And without gratuitousness, the third sector risks becoming standardized, becoming something else, losing itself, because this is a challenge. This does not mean\u2014on the contrary, all the more reason we must collaborate; subsidiarity means this capacity\u2014but avoiding, precisely, by defending gratuitousness very much as a fundamental dimension.<\/p>\n

Creative minorities. I will just say a few words that seem important to me, I'll take them up again, words we have heard from these testimonies, which for me were like living exhibitions, let's say. We see exhibitions, photographs, things; they have been a bit like living exhibitions, or even bricks. Now, there has also been in all their speeches, we could say, a very ordinary quality. One might say there was nothing extraordinary, but in reality, it is all very extraordinary, very easy, very possible, very necessary. I'm thinking of the work Chiara mentioned to defend the weakest and the victims. See, nothing is lost, everything can be repaired. We know it's not easy, often there are many responsibilities and little support. This, perhaps, is a final point: in the old days, they would have said \"making something out of nothing,\" trying to work miracles with nothing. And this, I would say, is also our strength, your strength, to create beautiful things sometimes with nothing. But, if at a certain point you have to perform acrobatics to move forward, you don't know if next year the agreement will be renewed, or if the councilor changes, and suddenly the museums become something else. I'm using Maila's example. Or that there are other priorities and everything is called into question.<\/p>\n

For this reason, I believe that on the part of the institutions, there must be an awareness of responsibilities that are sometimes truly enormous. And that, I would say, they have a right to continuity and stability, and stability means that these efforts, this professionalism, are recognized. I think\u2014perhaps because I am in Bologna, so I have seen it\u2014for example, the delicateness of illnesses that are not seen, but are seen, all illnesses, all hardships. It is clear that this means, for example, in many cases, having the need for long-term planning, for a professionalism that must have its recognition. If it doesn't have it, or if it is always temporary, then it becomes more dangerous for everyone and becomes an additional difficulty for those who already have many difficulties. Here, for example, in this also all the alternatives, the study. The other phrases that struck me so much: creativity\u2014they invent everything. And in some ways, the things they recounted also speak of so much creativity. I don't remember who said it at the beginning, it has been said before, necessity is the mother of invention. It's so true that when we are well off, in comfort, we are like animals that do not understand, says the psalm, and it is very true. Necessity makes us invent all sorts of things. But creativity is also a great cry for help that must find answers. Indeed, kindness towards oneself, that struck me very much, kindness towards oneself. Of all those, and I'm finishing, who arrive with downcast eyes. That struck me very much, it's very true. And sometimes, let's say, those who have downcast eyes keep their eyes down because they don't meet anyone who lowers themselves to look them in the eye. Let's continue to meet each other's eyes, to be very creative, and above all, to defend subsidiarity, which is a way to give a future to everyone.<\/p>\n

GIORGIO VITTADINI<\/strong>\u00a0So, I thank our speakers and His Eminence Cardinal Zuppi, Don Matteo, very much, finishing with a line from a singer I adore, Enzo Jannacci, who in \"El purtava i scarp del tennis\" tells you the origin of gratuitousness. Because he says of this homeless man: \u201cHe seemed like a nobody.\u201d No, for us, everyone is someone. Everyone has value. And he adds: \u201cAnd he had kind eyes.\u201d Because if you make them lift their eyes, you see that they have kind eyes, but eyes become kind if someone knows how to look at them. And then one is moved. And look, this is also a political project. Thank you.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
