For the second consecutive year, and in a period in which social housing represents a significant  concern for  Florence and  other major cities in Italy, Menarini has chosen to confirm its commitment to the City of Florence with an undertaking of deep symbolic valueThe project, which will be carried out  in collaboration with Casa S.P.A.
