San Patrignano San Patrignano is a wonderful community in Emilia Romagna dedicated to the fight against drugs. Since its inception in 1978 they have helped over 18000 young people with their problems. They do fantastic work but we have discovered they also make some fantastic cheeses (amongst other things). These few lines of description certainly do not do justice to what San Patrignano is all about. If you have time you should check out their website at www.sanpatrignano.org
