Italy

Our initiatives to support vulnerable people and meet their needs.

Our tangible actions in Italy

Eni Foundation, the foundation established by Eni at the end of 2006 to promote and implement social and humanitarian initiatives in Italy and worldwide, supports projects that promote inclusion and help prevent vulnerable situations from worsening in several Italian cities.

Support for the Case dell’Amicizia

Together with Plenitude Società Benefit, since December 2024, we have been supporting the Case dell’Amicizia, an initiative managed by the Community of Sant’Egidio, to address the primary needs of individuals and families facing socio-economic and housing difficulties in Naples, Rome, and Turin. We combine emergency assistance with personalised support to help people regain financial stability and secure housing. Here are some of the results we have achieved:

2024: 1,500 meals and solidarity gifts distributed across Rome, Naples and Turin; support provided to 5,100 people in vulnerable conditions in Naples (1,300), Rome (2,600), Turin (1,200).

Initiatives concluded in Italy

The Eni Foundation has supported the population groups most affected by the socio-economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic through various editions of the “Non siete soli” project, delivering food parcels directly to homes and organising initiatives aimed at children and adolescents. The first edition in 2020 targeted people over 80 experiencing poverty and social isolation, continuing in 2021 to assist those over 70 struggling due to the crisis related to the pandemic, as well as children and adolescents facing social hardship. In 2022, the project renewed its commitment by supporting vulnerable over-70s not covered by any support networks. “Non siete soli” was carried out in partnership with Fondazione Campagna Amica di Coldiretti, the Italian Society of Pediatrics (SIP), the Italian Relief Corps of the Order of Malta (CISOM), Fondazione Banco Alimentare, Comunità di Sant’Egidio ACAP Onlus and Caritas Ambrosiana. Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, the Eni Foundation also launched the “Una Vacanza Una Esperienza Per la pace” initiative to offer holiday stays to Ukrainian children and adolescents and their families already hosted in Italy, coordinated with Civil Protection and in collaboration with the D.O.C. s.c.s. cooperative.
