The founder of spazio + spadoni – Luigi Spadoni<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luigi Cesare Pizzi Spadoni was born in Versilia (LU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His education was profoundly shaped by his experience at a Salesian boarding school, where there was a strong missionary spirit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than fifty years, he has been a Brother of the Confraternity of Mercy of Camaiore and Lido<\/strong>, and was among the founders of the Confraternity of Mercy of Lido di Camaiore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a young man, he worked at the historic Hotel Souvenir in Lido di Camaiore, owned by his father Giuseppe and his mother Bianca Maria. His parents taught him the importance of responsibility, because \u201cevery action carries weight\u201d and \u201cfreedom is not a right, but a conscious choice to do good\u201d. It was through their example that he grew up with an inclination towards faith and hope, living in the present and looking to the future with confidence, even in difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He left university to work with a leading ambulance manufacturer as a sales agent and product developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1988, he founded Spencer Italia<\/strong>, a company that manufactures medical devices for emergency care<\/strong> and rescue<\/strong>. His insights, ideas and entrepreneurial spirit created an organisation that became a world leader<\/strong> in the EMS sector, capable of responding to the demands of a constantly growing and continuously changing market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than thirty years, Luigi invented and patented life-saving equipment, developed markets in countries around the world, cultivated personal relationships with the thousands of people he encountered and created hundreds of jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, he sold the company bearing the star to devote himself to a new phase of his life, leaving behind a dynamic, healthy organisation respected everywhere for its solidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then that he began to give shape to his dream, spazio<\/strong> + spadoni<\/strong>, a Catholic-inspired movement that brings together mercy<\/strong> and missionary commitment<\/strong> through its relationship with congregations<\/a> of missionary women religious and volunteer associations around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His private collection of historic ambulances<\/strong> from around the world became a museum open to visitors in 2010 and is located in the province of Parma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, he received honorary citizenship<\/strong> from the city of Rosolini (SR) and the Silver Palm \u2013 Iustus ut palma florebit award, established by the Diocese of Acireale together with Rosario Valastro, President of the Italian Red Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
