In the magnificent and fascinating Hall of Tapestries at the Alberoni Gallery, more than 300 students from the Respighi, ISII Marconi and Cassinari high schools met Don Claudio Burgio, chaplain at the Cesare Beccaria Juvenile Detention Centre in Milan.

During his talk, Don Burgio addressed various aspects of life inside the juvenile detention centre, sharing personal stories and recounting different experiences. His presentation prompted deep and meaningful reflections on youth distress, the recovery of social values and the challenges of reintegrating young people into civil society.

The topics discussed aroused great interest among the audience, with several students actively participating by asking questions and sharing their thoughts.

Part of the morning was also devoted to the “Ragazzi on the Road” project, an initiative to be carried out by the Local Police, involving around ten students. Following specific training, they will have the opportunity to take part directly in the Local Police’s institutional activities, gaining first-hand experience of its operational work in the field..

The event was made possible thanks to the tangible support of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George – Delegation of Piacenza, represented by Deputy Delegate Knight Officer Pietro Coppelli, who wished to send a strong message of support to young people, with the aim of encouraging them to strengthen their sense of civic responsibility and develop greater awareness and care for others.
