Confraternita di Misericordia di Borgo a Mozzano is a voluntary association that is part of the Movimento delle Misericordie, founded in Florence in 1244 by Pietro da Verona, later known as San Pietro Martire. Today, the Misericordie are present in Italy and abroad with over 700 confraternities.<\/p>\n\n\n

History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many important dates have marked the life of the association founded in 1897: the opening of RSA-Convento San Francesco in 1983, the donation of the convent by the Ordine dei Frati Minori in 2005 and the inauguration of the new headquarters in 2009. It is an active Misericordia, constantly engaged in numerous services for others, with over 4000 registered members and 237 active volunteers. In addition to its headquarters in the main town, our Misericordia operates locally through the Unit\u00e0 Operativa di San Rocco in Turrite and the Sezione di Fabbriche di Vallico, inaugurated in 2002. Given the characteristics of the area in which we operate, the presence of an older population and the many villages within the municipalities of Borgo a Mozzano, Pescaglia and Fabbriche di Vergemoli, our association meets the needs of the most vulnerable and works with public authorities to guarantee essential personal services.<\/p>\n\n\n
