New leadership appointments have been made within various Caritas branches in Italy.

In Acireale, Monsignor Antonino Raspanti, the Bishop of Acireale, appointed Father Dario Impellizzeri as the new Director of the Diocesan Caritas. Impellizzeri, who previously served at the Missione Speranza e Carità in Palermo, intends to focus on youth involvement and community reintegration rather than viewing the organization solely as an assistance agency.

In broader regional developments, the Sicilian Bishops named Father Nino Basile as the new Regional Delegate of Caritas Sicilia to coordinate diocesan organizations across the island. Simultaneously, Don Vittorio Giglio was appointed as the regional delegate for Caritas Toscana, where he will address issues such as housing and migration impacts while maintaining his leadership in Siena and Montepulciano.
