Solidarity Christmas for Ravaioli Legnami with a donation to San Patrignano and other initiatives on the territory

Ravaioli Legnami is active on several fronts also in occasion of the 2024 Christmas holidays. The company guided by the Bagnari family, which has its headquarters in Villanova di Bagnacavallo and today also owns branches, salespoints or laboratories in Villanova di Castenaso (BO), Rimini and Milan, has chosen to be once again close to the territory it daily operates in and where it was born, without losing sight of its mission, that addresses the foreign markets of the whole world too. There are three initiatives where Ravaioli is involved this year, a few days ahead of a 2025 that will also be celebrated for the 40 years of activity of the company, founded in 1985.

The first initiative is about a donation to the San Patrignano Community, that received about 20 m3 of wood as Christmas present in the last few days, which will be used in the activities of the carpentry inside the facility of the social cooperative located in Coriano, on the Rimini hills.

“At San Patrignano – says owner and export manager Angelo Bagnari, also on behalf of his father Elio Bagnari, and of his sister Chiara – there is an air of redemption. I have had the pleasure to know Roberto Bezzi, president of the Agricultural Cooperative San Patrignano, and I have realised how he and the whole community manage to convey real life values, by encouraging every single guest to regain self-esteem and dignity. We believe in these values and it is a pleasure to support them during these end-of-year holidays. After all, doing business is focusing on the community. Every one of us contributes to build the company’s course, which tackles thousands of variables to turn into opportunities”. “The choice to donate some material to the carpentry of San Patrignano – continues Angelo Bagnari, recently confirmed president of the Group of Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria Romagna – is thought as a concrete and sincere support. During my last visit, I assisted to the production of incredible objects, bookshelves, oval tables, fair booths. Every single person was passionate and respectful of their own tutor. A passion for wood that we surely have in common”.   

“During the last assembly of Confindustria Romagna – says Roberto Bezzi – that took place here in San Patrignano, I met Angelo Bagnari and, thanks to an immediate chemistry, we have turned some ideas into hard facts. I want to thank Ravaioli Legnami for this gift. With the material donated by Ravaioli Legnami we will give continuity to our craftworks and care for craftmanship, aiming at valuing the personal skills of all our guests. San Patrignano is a place of values and regeneration, where those who seek to give back a meaning to their lives after facing dramatic moments, build their identity and their future once again on solid foundations. A community of life that helps to redesign the future”.   

By carrying on with their commitment to the territory and to social projects, Ravaioli Legnami will support AGS, Association Giacomo Sintini this year as well, which raises funds for the research on leukaemia and lymphomas and for onco-hematologic assistance. “Every year we purchase the Christmas boxes by AGS – says Chiara Bagnari – that we will gift in this period. AGS succeeds in giving hope to children and to improve hospital facilities. Standing by Giacomo in the battle against cancer is a path that excites us every year”.

Finally, Ravaioli are still among the partners that cooperated with the local administration and with Azimut Spa to the set-up and supply of the wooden materials for the Christmas Tree of Ravenna city, that was inaugurated last Saturday 7th December at Piazza del Popolo. “I am proud – concludes Elio Bagnari – of my working group and even more of my collaborators’ will to support the territory. Romagna has always been giving us a lot, and we cannot but doing the same with it”.
