The founders
Following the example of the Barcelona's Banco dos Alimentos, a group of friends decided to replicate the idea of a food bank to help people in need in Italy.
On the 30th of March 1989 the launch of Fondazione Banco Alimentare becomes official following the encounter of two great personalities: Knight Danilo Fossati, President of Star, and Monsignor Luigi Giussani, Father of Comunione e Liberazione.
