The Prize

Enjoy an exclusive guided tour for a group of up to 7 people to Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples, Italy.

Following welcome refreshments with one of the Governors, a Pio Monte expert guide will accompany visitors on the discovery of the artistic heritage of the building situated via Tribunali, from the Caravaggio masterpiece "Seven works of Mercy" to the valuable collection of the famous Francesco de Mura, as well as works by Giordano Bruno, Battistello Caracciolo and Ribera.

After the tour the group will visit the church of Santa Luciella in San Biagio dei Librai, famous for its skull with the ear, to find out about the running of the Pio Monte activities.

The smaller church was reopened after more than thirty years by a group of young enthusiasts thanks to financial support from Pio Monte della Misericordia.

The Cause

Since 2005, Laureus Italia has been developing and supporting numerous projects aimed at minors living in situations of severe socio-economic deprivation, helping them to feel part of a community. The Foundation collaborates with more than 70 territorial realities and involves over 30 Ambassadors, sports champions and more. In addition to supporting minors in difficulty, the Laureus Italia Foundation also caters to coaches, educators and teachers through training courses.

The Laureus Foundation, in fact, uses sport as a tool for the inclusion and contrast of educational poverty to accompany minors in their growth path. The activities take place in the outskirts of Italian cities including Milan, Rome, Genoa, Naples, Catania, Palermo and Turin and involve and support over 3000 children in the practice of 20 different sports activities, including football, basketball, surfing, judo and many others.
