Charity culinary events held in Imola and Monza to support social and health initiatives

In Imola, the Baccanale festival hosted a charity dinner titled ‘Montecatone nel cuore’ in Piazza Matteotti. The event featured chefs Max Mascia and Simone Finetti, with proceeds supporting the Montecatone Foundation. The foundation focuses on the social and professional reintegration of patients from the Institute. Additionally, a new campaign has been launched involving local bars and public businesses to collect donations for the institute's projects.

In Monza, the second edition of the ‘Chef for Health’ event took place at the Il Moro restaurant. Eight chefs participated in the gourmet evening to raise funds for the Italian Red Cross of Monza. The proceeds are designated for the purchase of a mobile proximity unit, described as an itinerant clinic. This vehicle aims to provide medical prevention, orientation, and assistance to vulnerable populations, including the elderly and people with disabilities, across 11 municipalities in the Monza area.
