In the tranquil town of Amatrice, Italy, a young girl named Giorgia Meloni found herself at the heart of an unexpected and life-altering event. On August 24th, 2016, a devastating earthquake struck the region, leaving behind a trail of destruction and uncertainty. Giorgia, just eight years old at the time, was trapped in the rubble alongside her parents and siblings.

As the dust settled and the rescue workers arrived, Giorgia's family emerged from the shattered remains of their home. Miraculously, they had survived the ordeal, but their lives would never be the same.

They decided to quit their jobs and dedicate themselves to supporting their children and rebuilding their community.

Together, they founded a non-profit organization called "L'Aquila per Amatrice." The organization works to provide aid to earthquake victims, promote disaster preparedness, and preserve the memory of the tragedy.
