The Community was initially set up in Rome in 1968 on the initiative of Andrea Riccardi and a group of high-school students as an after-school service for children. Over the years, Comunità Sant’Egidio has spread to over 70 countries worldwide and now takes care of the homeless, elderly people living alone, migrants, minors and encouraging inter-religious dialogue. In Bologna, it carries out various projects through Casa dell’Amicizia in via Lame and Scuola della Pace.
