Ensuring Health and Well-Being

Nicola Del Roscio Foundation has always been committed to medical and scientific research with the goal of ensuring health and well-being for all. Over the years, there have been numerous grants and funding bestowed in support of research. Just to name a few, we recall those in favor of stem cell researchers of the Humanitas Project directed by Prof. Paolo Vezzoni or those disbursed in favor of the Careggi University Hospital for prostate research. For Nicola del Roscio Foundation, encouraging research is not enough. That’s why it has supported and promoted conferences and projects to share and disseminate their results, over the time.
