La Pigotta

The "La Pigotta" event represents a significant initiative promoted by the UNICEF Provincial Committee of Frosinone, dedicated to supporting children. The ceremony of handing over the Pigotta dolls to newborns will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. at Viale Guglielmo Marconi in San Donato Val Comino. This annual event is a moment of great importance to the community as it celebrates the birth of new lives while renewing the commitment to children's rights through the Pigotta project.

The Pigotta is a one-of-a-kind rag doll made through the efforts of numerous volunteers who with creativity and dedication make each doll. Each adopted Pigotta helps provide a UNICEF life-saving kit, containing vaccines, therapeutic foods and anti-malaria mosquito nets, for children in developing countries. Adopting a Pygotta is therefore not just a gesture of affection, but a concrete help to ensure a healthier and safer future for many vulnerable children.

The handover ceremony in San Donato Val Comino represents a special occasion for the families who have welcomed a new member, offering them a tangible symbol of solidarity and a welcome to the community under the banner of caring for children. The event will include institutional greetings from the President of the UNICEF Provincial Committee of Frosinone, Prof. Lucia Favilla, and the Councillor for Social Policies, Dr. Teresa Mazzola, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between institutions and civil society for the well-being of the youngest children.

In addition to the intrinsic significance of the Pigotta project, the ceremony is a time of celebration and awareness for the entire community. It will be an opportunity to learn more about the Pigotta story and the concrete impact that adoptions have on the lives of thousands of children around the world. The event will also include entertainment and a snack for all children in attendance, making the afternoon an opportunity for families and young children to enjoy and share.

Participating in the Pigotta delivery ceremony is a way to concretely witness one's support for UNICEF and its programs for children. It is an opportunity to understand how a small gesture, such as adopting a rag doll, can turn into vital help for so many children who need protection, care and opportunities to grow up healthy and happy. The event in San Donato Val Comino is not just a doll delivery, but a moment of unity and awareness about the importance of protecting the rights of children everywhere.
