SAN PATRIGNANO



Established in 1978 by Vincenzo Muccioli, it is one of the most important and famous rehabilitation communities in Europe for drug addiction. Located in the scenic hills of Coriano, it has helped approximately 20 thousand people since it opened its doors, offering them a home, healthcare and legal assistance, the possibility of studying, professional training, the chance to change one’s life and to make a full return to society.

It is currently housing 1600 young adults: the nucleus of the community is made up of 140 volunteer workers, along with another 350 employees, collaborators and consultants, many of whom were former drug addicts themselves. The community is also helping 100 children of the workers and the people who are taking the rehab course, as well as many families and about 30 juveniles with serious hardship and drug problems.

It is equipped with a 50 bed medical centre specialized in illnesses related to drug addiction, a nursery school, housing structures, schools and sports facilities, a theatre, and more than 53 professional training centres and laboratories, a village with 60 small villas for the families of the volunteer workers and for the young adults who are rebuilding their families. Over these past few years, San Patrignano has taken in many people under house arrest and released on probation for a trial period, replacing their years behind bars with rehabilitation courses oriented towards full recovery and social and work force reintegration. According to sociological and drug addiction research done over the past 13 years at the Universities of Bologna, Urbino and Pavia on groups of ex attendees of the community, the percentage of people who achieve total recovery after completing the San Patrignano course is greater than 72 percent.

Cimberio S.p.A. and San Patrignano are connected by a profound friendship: the basketball teams in the community play with our name on their jerseys, and our logo is designed into the parquet flooring of the gym located inside the community.


CARMELITE MISSION



The Carmelite friars of Arenzano (Italy) and Prague (Czech Republic), of whom Father Anastasio Roggero is responsible, are not just friends of Cimberio. No, they are friends of Africa and the world.
Since 1975 Father Anastasio and his friars and nuns, have been the volcanic and tireless beating heart of the Carmelite mission in the Central African Republic, one of the poorest countries in the Dark Continent.
All their actions, the sense of their presence and their work can be summarized in one phrase “Instead of giving fish to those who are hungry, teach them how to fish”.
This is exactly what Father Anastasio and his friars have done and continue to do.
And knowing that we at Cimberio are contributing, with a drop in the bucket, to Father Anastasio’s work makes us feel like better people.
We will continue to talk about them and their mission through this website.
We will tell you of the people that are helping them and of their daily lives.
And we will continue to be there for them.
