‘Freskissima’ Returns to Circolo Posillipo for a Noble Cause
NAPLES, June 18, 2026 – The Circolo Posillipo in Naples is set to host the tenth edition of ‘Freskissima’, an annual charity event combining food, entertainment, and music, all for a good cause. Scheduled for June 24 at 8:00 PM, the event aims to raise funds for significant projects benefiting special needs children in Volla, a municipality in the province of Naples.
The primary objectives of this year’s ‘Freskissima’ are to establish a football field at the Immaculate Conception and San Michele parish in Volla and to renovate the gymnasium of the I.C.S. Scialoja-Cortese-Rodinò. These initiatives are designed to offer a formative holiday experience for the ‘Si può dare di più’ special needs children.
A Legacy of Giving: Remembering Andrea Zanfagna
The charity event is promoted by the ‘Progetto Abbracci’ association, which was founded in memory of Andrea Zanfagna, a young man who was the driving force behind the initiative and passed away prematurely. His parents, Claudio Zanfagna and Giovanna Donadio, established ‘Progetto Abbracci’ to continue Andrea’s legacy of solidarity, focusing on the construction and realization of sports facilities and schools in Naples and Africa.
Over the years, funds collected through various editions of ‘Freskissima’ have been entirely translated into actions with extraordinary sporting and social impact. Andrea’s parents, along with the evening’s host and entertainer, Giorgio Bruno, will elaborate on these achievements during the event.
Impactful Initiatives for the Community
The ‘Progetto Abbracci’ association has consistently demonstrated its commitment to social welfare through tangible projects. By focusing on sports and education, the association addresses critical needs within the community, providing opportunities for development and inclusion, especially for vulnerable groups like special needs children.
The renovation of the gymnasium at I.C.S. Scialoja-Cortese-Rodinò and the creation of a new football field will offer safe and stimulating environments for children to engage in physical activities, fostering their well-being and social integration. These facilities are crucial for promoting a healthy lifestyle and providing a sense of belonging for the beneficiaries.
Event Details and Participation
The ‘Freskissima’ event at Circolo Posillipo promises an evening of culinary delights, captivating performances, and musical entertainment. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to a noble cause while enjoying a vibrant atmosphere.

The continuous success of ‘Freskissima’ over the past decade underscores the community’s strong support for the ‘Progetto Abbracci’ association and its mission.
