Bologna Welcomes the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Travelling Exhibition

The travelling yellow tent of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers has opened in Bologna, remaining in Piazza Lucio Dalla until 8 September.

Around 100 people attended the opening, including people who had previously worked alongside the volunteers during emergencies.

Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who remembered the practical help received by his community following the 2024 floods. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also spoke emotionally about the assistance received when his restaurant was affected by mud and water.

Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, also remembered assistance provided news euro cup after the 2012 earthquakes.

Founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1976, the programme combines community assistance with disaster-response activities.

Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can see displays about humanitarian work and practical assistance while learning about communication, relationships, study, work and family life.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Bologna initiative as an expression of European values of solidarity, human dignity and community responsibility.

The Bologna exhibition highlights a programme that operates both in times of disaster and in everyday community life.
