ABOUT US
Project G.I.O.I.A. takes shape through the partnership of three organizations, each with a specific and vital role: the Sovereign Military Order of Malta’s Embassy to the Holy See and Grand Priory of Rome, and the DiversaArte Social Cooperative.

Sovereign Military Order of Malta’s Grand Priory of Rome
The Grand Priory actively supports the project by providing four apartments dedicated to the independent living pathway and the Social B&B. It will also contribute through its volunteers, bringing the value of the tradition of hospitality and service that has always defined the Order.

Sovereign Order of Malta Embassy to the Holy See
Pending the establishment of the San Giovanni alla Piramide Foundation, the Embassy is coordinating fundraising efforts and apartment renovations. It also ensures supervision and quality control over the project’s development. This central role is essential for the initiative’s long-term sustainability and stability.

DiversaArte Social Cooperative
With over twenty years of experience in inclusive employment for people with disabilities, the Cooperative trains its staff in tourism management and oversees the project's daily operations. Through qualified tutors and professionals, it provides constant support to our participants, coordinating both hospitality activities and independent living pathways.

Our participants
The heart of Project G.I.O.I.A. are young adults with disabilities who, thanks to the constant support of specialized tutors from Cooperativa DiversaArte, can experience pathways to independent living and vocational training.
Through our project, these young adults not only acquire professional skills for the tourism and hospitality sector, but also find a space to grow, build relationships, and become active protagonists of their own future.
