Health: Social Capital PDF Print E-mail

At the Una Vita Foundation, we like to think of lifestyle not in terms of a marketing concept but in a larger, sociological context. People in Italy’s small towns have developed, over many years, a “social capital” that sustains healthy lifestyles and longevity, one that includes women, men, children and extended family units in its net.

Ultimately, the goal of the Una Vita Foundation is to determine ways to sustain these healthy village communities like Raviscanina to stay intact. Many young people these days are leaving their villages to find employment.
