Salvatore Aricò with Gli angeli del bello

At seventy, with two grandchildren who fill him with pride, Salvatore Aricò found in the “Angeli del bello" A way to feel useful. Fiorentino, retired for ten years, joined the Piazza Puccini group and once a week participates in micro-cleaning, collecting waste paper, cigarette butts, and even abandoned shoes, as well as taking care of the greenery and drains. "My four-year-old granddaughter and I sometimes volunteer together," he says, smiling. "It's a way to teach her from an early age the value of respecting common spaces. And I feel like I'm giving something back to the city where I grew up."
