Associazione Il Pesco

Associazione Il Pesco is a social promotion association based in Mogliano Veneto, Italy, supporting families, older people living alone, people with health conditions, and individuals experiencing social disadvantage. Its work focuses on inclusion, wellbeing, social connection, and practical opportunities to participate. The association runs a range of community activities and workshops, including support for people affected by Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, vascular or age-related dementia, chronic depression, and other conditions involving loss of independence.

Its creative reuse workshop helps socially disadvantaged participants make objects from discarded materials, while a recreational atelier welcomes older adults with limited mobility. Other activities include gardening with traditional and endangered plant varieties, creative cooking, jewellery and favour-making, and animal-assisted activities with rabbits, dogs, and pigeons. The association also offers group music-making, instrumental teaching, a singing school, and music therapy.

Il Pesco invites community members to support its projects through donations, including Italy’s 5×1000 tax allocation, and provides information about its activities, membership, and ways to get involved
