HIGHLIGHTS

Everything you can’t miss at this edition

Gomitolorosa ente filantropico

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!

When creativity meets care, new possibilities for connection emerge.

Le Officine Creative di Villa Giuseppina

At the Le Officine Creative di Villa Giuseppina stand, you can preview the exhibition Umanizzazione della Cura – La creatività come linguaggio della relazione e dell’inclusione, a visual journey showcasing shared artistic experiences developed within rehabilitation programmes.

 

Alongside the exhibition, you will have the opportunity to take part in a creative workshop and discover how art and making by hand can become powerful tools for connection, collaboration and shared experiences.
 

This special event at Abilmente Rome is a preview of the scientific conference Umanizzazione della Cura – Salute mentale, comunicazione e costruzione di comunità, which will take place on October 9, 2026 at Villa Giuseppina in Rome.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Associazione Cuore di Maglia

Ours is a tender and powerful story, built by volunteers across Italy who lovingly knit soft hats, booties, comforters and blankets to wrap, warm and brighten the tiniest babies in over 90 Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

We’re committed to supporting and promoting CARE – the developmental care approach that nurtures the growth of premature babies and strengthens the parent-child bond in a world that’s anything but easy.

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.
