Verona turns blue for autism awareness
Article published on March 31, 2022
Friday 1 April Verona will be dyed blue, on the occasion of the World Day for Awareness on Autismwhich occurs on April 2.
From 7 pm on Friday the Palazzo della Gran Guardia lights up in blue and the week of events aimed at raising awareness of autism and promoting the social inclusion of people living with this condition will kick off.
The initiative was established in 2019 by the City Council which unanimously approved the name of Verona as the friend of people with the autism spectrum syndrome.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that mainly involves language and communication, social interaction, narrow interests, stereotyped and repetitive behaviors and today it affects every 77 births.
A disorder that covers a broad spectrum of symptoms, skill levels and disabilities that may or may not affect daily autonomy and life.
With the slogan The Municipality colors Verona with Blue #alzalosguardoaimed at raising awareness and creating moments of reflection on the autism spectrum syndrome, the Department of Social Services in collaboration with associations and local authorities promotes once again this year a rich program of events scheduled at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia and in others places in the city and beyond.
