In 2016, Italo started an important social sustainability project partnering with the White Stone Company, Community of Sant'Egidio, Fondazione Cariplo, Bracco Foundation and Corriere.it.
The objective set in the preliminary phase was to ensure a source of income for young people with financial problems and raise awareness among passengers on issues of solidarity and social responsibility.
The project took shape as Il Paese della Sera, a fortnightly magazine dedicated to the world of volunteer work and solidarity which is distributed free of charge on-board Italo trains that depart from Milano Centrale and Napoli every morning, by young people who have trouble finding a job.
