Il 2026 opened with four births at the Santa Famiglia nursing home in Rome. At the stroke of midnight, simultaneously in two different delivery rooms, they came to light Lavinia, of 3,200 grams, and Octaviaof 3,230 grams. Moments later, in another delivery room, Chinese couple Zheng Si and Wu Tingting welcomed their second child Jiayi, weighing 3,200 grams. Then he was born Luca, 3,370 grams, second son of Concetta Monteleone and Mohamed Mirzaei.
Mothers and babies are all doing well and were assisted by the facility’s medical team, led by Dr. Luca Cipriano, the operations director Manuela De Fabiis, the midwife in charge of the birth block Marisa Gianfrancesco and Dr. Matteo Moretti.
For Camilla Carosi and Marco Palombi, 39 and 38 years old, from Colleferro, the birth of little Lavinia marks a particularly significant moment. January 1st represents a symbolic date for the couple, at the end of a complex path towards pregnancy and after painful family events experienced in previous years. “If you want a miracle to happen, you must first dream about it”, they commented.
Great emotion also for Lavinia Bisceglie and Giovanni Calao, teachers from Cassino, who started the new year with the birth of their second daughter Ottavia. Also celebrating the arrival of 2026 are the Wu family, who arrived from China, and the Monteleone–Mirzaei couple with the birth of little Luca.
“Being next to a woman who, together with her partner, chooses to give birth to a child is something extraordinary. It is the force that moves the world”, declared Donatella Possemato, director of the structure, sending a wish to the families and a message to young people: “Don’t give up on this wonderful journey that is life”.
In the last days of the year, the Casa di Cura Santa Famiglia recorded a particularly high influx of couples with full-term pregnancies.
Many parents have chosen the historic Roman structure, recognized as a Birth Center of excellence at a national and international level and affiliated with the National Health Service and the Holy See Health Care Fund, to experience the first hours of the new year with the birth of their child. A choice that confirms the role of the Holy Family as a point of reference for obstetric and neonatal care, capable of combining clinical competence, safety and human attention.
