An unexpected gift for Massimo Bulgarelli, new member of Lions Club Bologna San Petronio: during a recent gathering of the Club, Massimo received the “BEL” Electronic White Cane, a device for the blind, from Romagnoli F.lli Spa president Giulio Romagnoli.

“It is an honour for me to give Massimo this device, which will improve his quality of life, providing greater independence and safety while reducing mobility-related stress – says Giulio Romagnoli, president of Romagnoli F.lli Spa –. A gesture that aims to embrace and embody the principles of active community participation which this organisation stands for”. The BEL projects was launched by Lions Club Verona Cangrande in 2010, when an instructor from France held the first course in Italy, teaching two blind people (from Verona and Trento) how to use the BEL cane and training two Italian mobility instructors. Since then, the project reached numerous Lions Club chapters across the country.
