A home for those suffering from mental illness

The Sun invites you to be outdoors, to organize the work to be done. Inside, however, meetings and workshops are starting, but there are those who linger at the herbal tea shop that offers hot croissants. It’s a day like many others at the San Paolo house, created in Vedano al Lambro by Adele Bonolis Foundation As. Fra. (Fraternal Assistance) to house psychiatric patients. Where a unique cohousing project in Italy is being born: a recent renovation will make it possible to create six new apartments, to complement those already operational since 2016, “to accommodate patients who can live independently”, explains the psychiatrist Alexander Santaroneclinical director of the Foundation.
