Simón Bolívar Association

The Simón Bolívar Association of Pescara stands as a key reference point for coordination and reception throughout the Abruzzo region for the entire Latin American community, and specifically for the Italo-Venezuelan community and native citizens of Venezuela. Rooted in the historical and deep migratory wave that led thousands of Abruzzese people to move to the Bolivarian land after World War II, the association currently manages the delicate reverse flow. This involves the complex return immigration of the children and grandchildren of those very same Abruzzese emigrants, who are coming back to Italy driven by the crisis in Venezuela and, more broadly, across Latin American countries hit by humanitarian and economic hardships, requiring immediate institutional and deeply human orientation.
