Italian municipalities are implementing various social support initiatives aimed at protecting and assisting vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly and those with disabilities.

In Pescantina, local administration launched a free public transport service to assist residents in reaching town center markets, aiming to reduce social isolation. Similarly, Montelabbate added a vehicle to its municipal fleet to facilitate social transport and civil protection, utilizing funds designated for regions affected by previous flooding.

Expanding on social protection, the Municipality of Pescara introduced an anti-fraud project titled ‘ALT… È UNA TRUFFA’ (STOP… IT IS A SCAM). Funded by the Ministry of the Interior, this initiative targets individuals over 65 to combat sophisticated scamming methods through awareness campaigns and community-based interventions. Mayor Carlo Masci stated the administration’s policy is ‘to not leave anyone behind.’
