The Associazione Italiana Donatori di Organi (AIDO) held several commemorative and awareness-raising events in Italy during September 2026.

In Modena, the organization hosted its 2026 National Organ Donor Days from September 24 to 27. The program featured a volleyball tournament with Italian national transplant and dialysis athletes (ANED), public training sessions, award ceremonies, and cultural activities including music and film screenings. The event concluded with a mass of thanksgiving and a communal lunch.

Concurrently, the Cuneo provincial section of AIDO launched an art exhibition at Sala Viano to celebrate the association’s 50th anniversary. Running from September 19 to September 30, the exhibition showcases the work of cartoonist Danilo Paparelli, using humor and slogans to promote organ and tissue donation. This event serves as the first stop for an exhibition planned to travel across the province, region, and nation.
