Bologna Hosts Scientology Volunteer Ministers Exhibition

Volunteer Ministers Open Their Yellow Tent in Bologna

The travelling yellow tent of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers has opened in Bologna, where the exhibition will remain through 8 September.

The inauguration brought together around 100 participants, including local officials and community representatives.

Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who remembered the practical help received by his community following the 2024 news eu settlement scheme floods. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also described how volunteers helped clear his mud-covered restaurant.

Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, recalled Volunteer Ministers helping communities following the 2012 Emilia earthquake.

Created in 1976 by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the programme combines community assistance with disaster-response activities.

Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can view photographs and videos documenting Volunteer Ministers activities while learning about practical approaches to interpersonal difficulties and daily problems.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Bologna initiative as an example of practical solidarity and civic responsibility.
