San Patrignano — Rehabilitation in the Vineyard

Abstract

On May 25, 1961, John F. Kennedy pledged himself and the American people to a common goal: To send a man to the moon and back by the end of the decade. The lofty goal proved to be an impetus for peak performances, and July 1969 brought “one small step” for Neil Armstrong, and a big step forward for American self-confidence. On a smaller scale, a similar model in the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna helps drug addicts kick their habit. By putting their efforts into pressing top-quality wine, they rediscover their love of life.
