“Last Sunday I was deeply struck by seeing the damage that the water bombs of recent days have caused to many families in our diocese,” declared the bishop of Vicenza, Giuliano Brugnotto. «I saw a lot of concrete solidarity from many people. I expressed my closeness and that of the diocese, I was also able to confirm the availability of Caritas Ambrosiana to lend some dryers, but I thought more should be done. We need to be close in a concrete way to the people who have lost everything and reactivate that good closeness that has always characterized our territory».
