‘Misericordia Osaka’, the Japanese chapter of leading charity Confraternita della Misericordia (Confraternity of Mercy) from the Tuscan city of Prato, has taken a group of children living in foster care to visit the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.

 

The charity’s President Flavio Gori, who is also an executive managing director of Savino Del Bene Japan, said the group included “17 children from the foster home San Francisco of Tokyo”.

 

“I would like to thank the Italy Pavilion for allowing the Misericordia of Osaka and the children to visit these beauties”, stated Gori.

 

He explained that the Osaka chapter of the Tuscan confraternity “was born in 2013” and “currently has 45 volunteers in Japan, operating in nursing homes and foster homes”.

 

“Our service is very simple”, noted Gori.

 

“We visit foster homes, we play with the children, cook for them, teach them the Italian language, sometimes we organize football matches and we try to develop the concept of mercy not only in Tokyo but in Osaka as well as in other cities of Japan”.

 

As the executive managing director of Savino Del Bene Japan, Gori followed the transportation from Rome to the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka of Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, a sculpture by Futurist artist Umberto Boccioni, and Sant’Elmo, another sculpture by artist Mimmo Palladino.
