Our objective is to consolidate our intervention in Milan in 2022, with a view to potentially expanding the project to other major Italian cities that are experiencing a similar phenomenon and have the same necessities as those we are witnessing in the Lombard capital. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Contents Introduction Overview Our intervention Some project statistics Actions 2023\u20132025 Support the project FAQ \u200bWith the increase in poverty, the number of homeless people sharing their lives with one or more pets has grown exponentially in all major Italian and European cities.
