At the event, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. local time at the San Marino Sports Center in this town located in the Emilia-Romagna region, several participants in the European Solidarity Convoy that traveled from Italy to Cuba in mid-March will share their experiences.
Also participating will be members of the second convoy that arrived on the island at the end of April. These members attended the May Day events and delivered humanitarian aid to health and educational centers in eastern Cuba, as well as to communities affected by Hurricane Melissa, which devastated the region in October 2025.
The event, which will be attended by the Consul General of the Caribbean nation in Milan, Jose Luis Darias, is organized by the Emilia Network for Cuba and the Modena for Cuba Association, which sent another container of aid to the island on May 13. the “Henry Reeve Brigade” of the National Association of Italy-Cuba Friendship (ANAIC), based in Crema, Lombardy, also participated in this latter initiative, contributing a significant shipment of donated medicines.
The president of that ANAIC chapter, Fausto Lazzari, thanked “the citizens, associations, and organizations whose generous contributions made possible the successful collection of medicines to address the health emergency in Cuba, a victim of a criminal US blockade for more than sixty years.”
The Lombardy chapter of ANAIC also prepared a second container with medical supplies and bicycles last Thursday, which will depart for Cuba on May 16.
