Event in Pozzuoli on October 26th to raise donations for families still displaced since July
Brazilian model Cristtina Mendonça, who lives in Italy, will participate in the “Napoli Legends per Pozzuoli” charity walk this coming Monday (October 26th). The event aims to collect donations for families who have yet to return home following an earthquake that struck Pozzuoli, in the Naples region, back in July.
The walk will begin at 11:00 AM local time on Via Terracciano. From there, participants will cover a route of approximately 2.5 kilometers, passing through Via Artiaco, Piazza Capomazza, and Via Campi Flegrei—areas directly affected by the earthquake.
On July 31st, a 4.7-magnitude tremor damaged properties in the Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei) area. According to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), around 800 people in Pozzuoli were forced to leave their homes.
Nearly three months later, some residents are still unable to return. Donations collected during the campaign will be received by the Diocesan Caritas of Pozzuoli to support the affected families.
The event will feature several prominent figures, including Francesca Schiavone, Valentina Rodinei, Francesca Lollobrigida, and Maurízia Cacciatori, among others.
