This morning, in Piazza del Viminale in Rome, many donors who showed up. Among them also an exceptional testimonial, the Rai journalist Massimiliano Ossini.

The initiative - which has already touched several regions and which today coincides with the World Blood Donor Day - saw the participation of military personnel from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Carabinieri. among the donors in uniform also the State Police and the Fire Brigade.
A presence that underlines the commitment of the institutions, and of the Armed Forces in particular, towards the blood emergency which, especially in the summer season, shows a sharp drop in numbers.

Participation in the initiative is on a voluntary basis and in compliance with the provisions of current legislation.
