Casa della carità “Angelo Abriani” Foundation
Casa della Carità “Angelo Abriani” Foundation takes care of vulnerable people and promotes culture, starting from the stories of those who come to our House every day.
The social activities of Casa della Carità accompany people in distress towards obtaining their rights, their independence and citizenship; Accademia della Carità (The Academy) promotes cultural initiatives which are open to all.
This double effort was strongly wished by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the Founder of Casa della Carità who chose Father Virginio Colmegna as Chairman of the Foundation in 2002.
Casa della Carità is one of the projects I cherish most among those the Lord allowed to come true during my episcopate in Milan.- Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, Founder
Casa della Carità believes in the dignity and uniqueness of each person, in the value of offering a listening ear, in the importance of relationships. People in distress are not considered as the receivers of our good deeds but rather as the protagonists of relationships and sharing of experiences.
The Foundation opposes the “culture of waste” with the firm conviction that the fact of providing answers to the needs of weak and excluded people generates wealth, cohesion and helps increasing urban safety for the whole community. That’s why Casa della Carità is open. Always. To all.
Cardinal Martini asked us to take care of the outcast. For this reason, our house is always open to all.-Father Virginio Colmegna, Chairman
Accoglienza: relationships
and care to reach self-reliance
Casa della Carità for me is just as my family, the family I have never had. And it will always be.- Roberto
The Foundation takes care of people who endured difficult experiences, who must deal with several problems at the same time and who find a welcoming place, a family, at Casa della Carità.
Every day, the Foundation hosts hundreds of people and offers listening ears and services such as free hot showers and a cloakroom, healthcare, legal advice and job orientation to many more. It works throughout the city of Milan with children, elderly people, men and women of any age, country of origin and religion.
Casa della Carità has been an experience of sharing, brotherhood and mutual help. It has been as for Diego Armando Maradona: the hand of God. – Stephan
The Academy:
social action and cultural debate
Casa della Carità Foundation believes that Important ideas for the whole population blossom from the knowledge and the careful listening to the most vulnerable sections of the population. For this reason, it promotes culture starting from its social work. The Academy includes the SOUQ – Urban Suffering Study Centre, which operates at academic level with universities and researchers and the Boundary’s Library, which works on the ground with schools, San Vittore prison and other non-profit organisations.
Casa della Carità is a place where you meet each other, you know each other and, for this reason, barriers fall. – Simona
