MARCO ROSSETTI: KINDNESS TASTES LIKE A BISCUIT! đŸȘ

An actor, a square in Rome and a tin of biscuits: a way to help a child far away.

An actor, a square and a tin of biscuits. What connects them? The answer is in Rome’s Piazza Cola di Rienzo: Marco Rossetti stopped at Save the Children’s stand to support BisBuoni, the charity biscuits returning this year for their second edition.

A donation, a tin, real help

The idea is very simple. Make a donation and take home a tin of biscuits, either classic shortbread or chocolate chip. In return, you help children and families living through wars, earthquakes, floods and humanitarian crises, in Italy and around the world. The funds provide healthcare, protection, essential supplies and safe places where children can play again.

And help really is needed. According to Save the Children, in 2025 more than 35,000 children a day were forced to leave their homes because of conflict and violence: the highest number ever recorded.

Kindness continues

The BisBuoni stands held on 10 and 11 October 2026 have closed. You can keep following Save the Children’s initiatives on its official website and discover how to support children and families who need help.

IN HOSPITAL, PLAY MATTERS TOO.

At home, an unfinished game might be a minor annoyance. In hospital, starting a game or choosing a colour can help restore something familiar. Between examinations, waiting, and changed routines, a child still has tastes, curiosity, and a wish to play, even when the adults are full of worry.
