The Foundation Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza has undergone a leadership restructuring. Maximino Caballero Ledo, president of the Commission for direction and supervision, formalized the appointment of a new Board of Directors. Don Lorenzo Simonelli was named president of the Board, while Pietro Grasso continues as vice president. Mauro Goletti and Marcello Mustilli were reconfirmed, and Antonio Perno joined the board. Gino Gumirato was reconfirmed as the director general and legal representative.

Following these appointments, labor unions CGIL and CISL requested an urgent meeting with the foundation’s supervisory commission. The unions expressed frustration that decisions regarding the board renewal and the general director’s confirmation were communicated through the press and social media instead of through direct consultation. They are demanding transparency and official communication regarding the institution’s new governance and the resolution of existing labor disputes.
