Those who choose to visit Bergamo are often struck by its beauty: the upper town, the Venetian walls, the lively squares, and the culture that permeates every street.
But what truly makes this area special is something less visible, yet profound: the Bergamo people’s sense of community and solidarity.
It is precisely from this spirit that the fundraising campaign “Look what we’re building” was born, promoted by the Bergamo Committee of the Italian Red Cross to complete the renovation of its historic headquarters.
An important project involving citizens, businesses, and local organizations.
For over 161 years, the Italian Red Cross has been a discreet yet fundamental presence in the life of the Bergamo community.
Volunteers and staff work every day to ensure:
medical assistance and emergency response
support during extraordinary events and situations
social projects for the most vulnerable
healthcare training and prevention for citizens
concrete support for those experiencing difficult times
A silent effort, often behind the scenes, but essential for the safety and well-being of the community.
The new headquarters: a place for the future of solidarity
The historic headquarters at Via della Croce Rossa 2 in Bergamo has always been a symbol of the volunteers’ commitment. Today, it is at the center of a major renovation project, with the aim of creating a space suited to the needs of volunteers and staff and capable of improving the organization of emergency services.
The new facility will not only be an operational headquarters, but a point of reference for the entire community.
To complete such an important project, the support of the local community is essential.
For this reason, the Bergamo Committee of the Italian Red Cross has launched a crowdfunding campaign open to citizens, businesses, and local organizations.
For businesses, participating also represents a significant gesture of social responsibility, with a dedicated program to recognize and enhance donors. Depending on the contribution, architectural elements or permanent works will be erected that will commemorate the benefactors who supported the project.
Bergamo’s history is one of hard work, resilience, and solidarity.
Every initiative that strengthens these values helps make the area even stronger and more united.
If you would like to support the new headquarters of the Italian Red Cross in Bergamo or learn more about the project, you can find out more through the Committee’s official channels and participate in the “Look at what we’re building” fundraising campaign.
Every contribution helps build a place that will continue to serve the Bergamo community for many years.
Every gesture, large or small, can make a difference.
Because behind every ambulance that leaves and every rescue operation, there are people who dedicate their time to others.
And today, this commitment requires the support of the entire community.
