Third edition of “L’Isola che non c’è” (Neverland), an event dedicated to the health, happiness, and well-being of children

On September 7th, the Ausa Park in Dogana will turn into a colorful oasis of happiness with entertainment and music to host the third edition of “L’Isola che non c’è” (Neverland), an event dedicated to the health, happiness, and well-being of children.

This is the third edition of a truly inspirational project, a valuable opportunity to strengthen a sense of community and support the families of children affected by rare hematologic oncology diseases. The project is being promoted by the Ministry of Tourism with the patronage of the State Congress of the Republic of San Marino.

The initiative was created with a very specific purpose: to offer a family-friendly afternoon/evening and provide concrete support to those experiencing great difficulty. The day will also be an opportunity to raise funds for charities such as "InSiamo," "Oceano Blu," and "Hope4you."

This event is completely free thanks to the synergy between the institutions, the generous contribution of 120 private sponsors, and the essential contribution of volunteer associations working to ensure an afternoon and evening designed for children and families, a moment of reflection but also fun, certainly a growth opportunity for all. Ausa Park will be transformed into an oasis of happiness for the little ones, with a wide range of recreational activities, inflatables, face painting sessions, a wide range of organized games, animated readings, and the Wheel of Fortune where you always win thanks to the wafers provided by the "Serenissima."

Many providing high-quality entertainment, such as: Magician Gabriel and the magical Gilly with a magic workshop for children and adults, Magician Fletcher, the Red Noses, the Liluna Laboratory, music by the San Marino Music Institute and the San Marino Concert Band, Fluxo, and many others.

A special moment where "everything is done with play but nothing for fun," an opportunity for the entire San Marino community to show their empathy for children in difficult situations through concrete support for the associations that work alongside them daily. Three sealed boxes will be set up within the Park, where freewill offerings can be made.

The day will be enriched by a moment of encounter and discussion at 17:00, with an intense talk show moderated by journalist Roberto Chiesa, featuring doctors and professionals known as "angels" for their dedication, along with other experts committed to protecting children's health. It will be an opportunity for discussion and in-depth dialogue on important topics, enriched by touching testimonies and food for thought.

At 21:00, Edoardo Bennato will perform his "Sono solo canzonette tour 2025," a great free concert guaranteed to entertain audiences of all ages.

An opportunity to share a moment of celebration, solidarity, and to reaffirm the importance of facing life's challenges with courage and unity.

Participants will be able to use reserved spaces in the parking lot of the Centro Atlante (top floor) and the San Marino Outlet Experience in Rovereta.

Statements:

Federico Pedini Amati, Minister of Tourism:
"This is the kind of event I hope will remain permanent, created to offer sincere empathy and concrete support to those who need our help and our community spirit.
A community that comes together and embraces children. This year, in particular, our thoughts and support go out to Samuele and his family, to support them as much as possible during the seven months necessary for their child's medical care."

Daniele Palazzari - Simona Tamburini, Hope4you Association
"My thanks go first and foremost to Minister Pedini Amati for his immediate support of our association, founded to support an eight-year-old girl suffering from a rare disease, for the research of which every contribution is essential."

Jader Tosi - Insiamo Association
"The desire of the association I represent is to form a common front with other similar organizations operating in the area.
Together, we can do more and better; it is through dialogue that we can broaden our perspective."

Andrea Nardoni - Associazione Oceano Blu
"Parents need support, not just materially, but also emotionally, to feel the empathy that can give them the courage to continue on a very difficult journey. The value of a community that moves, mobilizes, and supports is fundamental."
