With this course, we want not only to raise awareness in the community about the importance of driving prudence, but also to provide the necessary tools to intervene effectively in critical situations.

Every minute can make the difference between life and death, and knowing how to act can truly save lives.” These are the words of President Marta Calogiuri who invites all citizens to participate to become active protagonists of the safety of our community.
