Opera San Francesco | LA VOCE DI FRA MARCELLO LONGHI

In this new episode, we recounted the experience of Opera San Francesco for the Poor of Milan, a daily place of welcome and dignity run by the Capuchin Friars. We discussed poverty not only as material deprivation, but also as loneliness, invisibility, and the need for authentic relationships. Through the voice of Friar Marcello Longhi, the value of meals emerged as a human gesture, even before that of care, capable of restoring time, listening, respect, and beauty. From life stories marked by precariousness and journeys of silent redemption, a model of concrete solidarity emerged, rooted in the city and open to all. A profound story was born, which invites us to look openly at those who live on the margins.
