Valtrompiacuore

Valtrompiacuore (Associazione Valtrompiacuore) is an Italian non-profit social promotion association (Associazione di Promozione Sociale, A.P.S.) based in Gardone Val Trompia, in the province of Brescia. It is a voluntary, non-partisan, non-profit organisation that was officially entered in the register of the province of Brescia, Section F / Social Promotion, by Decree No. 4545 of 6 December 2010 (Province Register No. 145). Since 26 August 2022 it has also been listed in the Italian Single National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS) under Repertory No. 45672. The association's founding purpose is to support the S.S.V.D. of Cardiology of the Gardone Val Trompia Hospital, part of the ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia. It works to spread information and education across the local area on health and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Its activities include cardiovascular prevention information, support for projects that improve hospital equipment in the province, projects for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular problems, health culture and healthy-lifestyle programmes in schools, participation in World Heart Day with free cardiology check-ups at the Gardone Val Trompia hospital, and scholarships supporting medical-scientific projects. Beyond clinical and preventive work, Valtrompiacuore also promotes cultural activities, in priority collaboration with OR.MA Fondo Solidale Sociale Famiglia Mari Basso and Mari Pierluigi Fondo di Solidarietà Sociale. These include bibliographic productions, exhibitions, musical and theatrical performances. The association supports medical-scientific research through scholarships, which it describes as the best available instrument for protecting the community. Its organisational structure consists of members (Soci), a Board of Directors (Consiglio Direttivo), a President and a Vice President. Membership is open to anyone, and commitment to supporting the association is free and voluntary. The association maintains an active public programme: its website lists proposed projects such as "Terapia intensiva Aperta, l'ABCDEF e l'ambulatorio di Follow-UP", aimed at reducing disability among survivors of intensive care through new post-admission treatment methods; a photographic exhibition dedicated to "Voci di una contrada" in Via G. Zanardelli during the Rebelot in Gardone Val Trompia; sponsorships and patronage for 2026 covering the Premio Arte Sarezzo, Banda Musicale Cico Gottardi, Spiedo Alpini, CSV Brescia, Fondazione Veronesi, Valtrompiacalcio 2000 and others; a multi-author book dedicated to Giuseppe Zanardelli on the bicentenary of his birth, curated by Dr. Federico Troletti; an exhibition of author photographs by Luciano Pasqualato dedicated to the Gardone community; and a scholarship of €10,000 for the Istituto Comprensivo Statale di Gardone Val Trompia, with the patronage of the Ministry of Education and Merit. Valtrompiacuore is a small, locally rooted civic organisation rather than a commercial enterprise. Its brand identity is tied to the Val Trompia valley and to the cause of heart health, and its public presence is built around fundraising, cultural events, scholarships and partnerships with local institutions and businesses.

Valtrompiacuore was established as an Italian social promotion association (Associazione di Promozione Sociale, A.P.S.) in Gardone Val Trompia, in the province of Brescia. It was officially entered in the register of the province of Brescia, Section F / Social Promotion, by Decree No. 4545 of 6 December 2010, with Province Register No. 145. The association describes itself as free, non-partisan, non-profit and without remuneration, open to anyone who wishes to support it voluntarily. Its founding purpose was to support the S.S.V.D. of Cardiology of the Gardone Val Trompia Hospital, part of the ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia, and to promote information and education on health and the prevention of cardiovascular disease across the local area. Over time its activities expanded to include support for hospital equipment projects in the province, prevention and treatment projects for cardiovascular problems, health culture and healthy-lifestyle programmes in schools, participation in World Heart Day with free cardiology check-ups at the Gardone Val Trompia hospital, and scholarships for medical-scientific projects. On 26 August 2022 the association was entered in the Italian Single National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS) under Repertory No. 45672, reflecting the broader reform of Italy's third sector. In parallel with its health mission, Valtrompiacuore developed a cultural programme, in priority collaboration with OR.MA Fondo Solidale Sociale Famiglia Mari Basso and Mari Pierluigi Fondo di Solidarietà Sociale. This programme has included bibliographic productions, exhibitions, musical and theatrical performances, and support for medical-scientific research through scholarships. By the mid-2020s the association's public calendar included a range of local initiatives. In January 2024 it proposed the project "Terapia intensiva Aperta, l'ABCDEF e l'ambulatorio di Follow-UP", aimed at reducing disability among survivors of intensive care through new post-admission treatment methods. For 2026 it listed sponsorships and patronage covering the Premio Arte Sarezzo, Banda Musicale Cico Gottardi, Spiedo Alpini, CSV Brescia, Fondazione Veronesi, Valtrompiacalcio 2000, Libro Lusetti Fondazione M. Dolci, Notte Bianca Gardone V.T. and a book presentation in Brescia. It also announced a photographic exhibition dedicated to "Voci di una contrada" in Via G. Zanardelli during the Rebelot in Gardone Val Trompia, in collaboration with Dr. Graziella Pedretti and Cooperativa Aquilone; a multi-author book on Giuseppe Zanardelli (1826–1903) curated by Dr. Federico Troletti for the bicentenary of his birth; an exhibition of author photographs by Luciano Pasqualato dedicated to the Gardone community at Officina Liberty, Parco del Mella; and a €10,000 scholarship for the Istituto Comprensivo Statale di Gardone Val Trompia with the patronage of the Ministry of Education and Merit and regional and provincial education authorities. The association is governed by its members (Soci), a Board of Directors (Consiglio Direttivo), a President and a Vice President. It remains a small, locally rooted civic organisation whose identity is tied to the Val Trompia valley and to the cause of heart health.
