Fondazione Novella Fronda

Fondazione Novella Fronda is an Italian nonprofit foundation focused on research and prevention to address substance and behavioral addictions. Active in the field since 2012, it brings together medical, scientific, psychological, and community expertise to support initiatives spanning research, clinical practice, education, and prevention. Its work includes exploring addiction treatments, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and psychotherapy, and sharing information about topics such as alcohol, cocaine, cannabis products, energy drinks, smartphones, and video games.

The foundation offers professional education through free distance-learning courses and in-person events, including programs with continuing education credits for healthcare professionals. It also promotes public awareness through events, media resources, a blog, scientific publications, books, and its “Three Golden Rules” project. Collaborations with universities and research institutions support its work in neuromodulation and addiction care. Based in Padua, with locations and activities also connected to Milan and Rome, Fondazione Novella Fronda invites the public to follow its news, subscribe to its newsletter, and support its mission through donations and other contributions.
