Bologna Hosts Scientology Volunteer Ministers Exhibition

Bologna Welcomes the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Travelling Exhibition

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers yellow tent in Bologna is presenting practical tools for helping people in everyday life, where the exhibition will remain through 8 Scientology September.

Approximately 100 guests were present for the opening, including representatives of communities assisted by Volunteer Ministers after natural disasters.

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 after the 2012 earthquakes.

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

Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can explore photographic exhibits and information about the programme 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 example of practical solidarity and civic responsibility.

The initiative brings together memories of disaster response with methods intended to help people handle everyday difficulties.
