 Between 1951 and 1969, Casa dello scugnizzo was not only the physical location providing assistance and support to the street urchins but more importantly it is a network of committees and voluntary groups, distributed throughout Europe and The United States.What truly allows the House of the Urchins to bring up the boys, in fact, is the fund-raising carried out by the community of Italian, English, American, Canadian, Australian, French, German, Belgian, and Dutch voluntary groups.The true novelty is the simple approach followed up by the Casa, which fascinates educators and families of catholic, Anglican and Protestant origin.
