Gomitolorosa
Together with Gomitolorosa, we will talk about mental health while knitting or crocheting wool hats that will be donated in celebration of World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
This community knitting initiative aims to raise awareness and help break the stigma that still surrounds mental health, while encouraging institutions to recognize the importance of psychological well-being, prevention, and greater support for mental health programmes and initiatives.
It will also be an opportunity to learn a new technique and share conversations about solidarity, mental well-being, and environmental awareness—one stitch at a time.
We look forward to creating with you!

Dolci Creazioni
Dolci Creazioni was born from the desire to share the beauty of handmade and the joy of creating together. In our courses and meetups, every piece of foam, every sheet of felt, every splash of colour becomes a chance to express emotions and bring little dreams to life.
We’re a big creative family, a place where hands do the work, but it’s the heart that leads the way. We believe creativity is contagious, a thread that connects different people through a shared passion.
Come and meet us: together, we turn ideas into wonder.
