Volunteering Meets Montesacro

The twelfth edition (2025)

From October 10 to 12, 2025, Piazza Sempione, in the Montesacro district of Rome, hosted the twelfth edition of "Volunteering Meets Montesacro," organized by the Associazione Grazie al Cielo with the participation of about thirty volunteer organizations.

The central theme of the edition was the figure of Blessed Rosario Livatino, with a debate that brought together Paolo Nesta, Domenico Airoma, and Carlo Tremolada, and an exhibition dedicated to the "kid judge." The program alternated between testimonies on foster care and adoption, meetings on education and justice, the presentation of young witnesses of holiness like Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis, as well as numerous concerts — from rap to the Papillon Youth Orchestra, from the Roman Mandolin Orchestra to the Virgo Fidelis Choir of the Carabinieri. The festival closed with the traditional raffle draw.
