La Nuvola

What La Nuvola does

La Nuvola S.C.S Impresa Sociale Onlus is an Italian social cooperative founded in April 1991 and headquartered in Orzinuovi, Brescia, operating across districts 6, 7, and 8 of the Ovest bresciano territory in Lombardy. The cooperative delivers integrated social and healthcare services across five service areas: Mental Health (Salute Mentale), Neuropsychiatry of Infancy and Adolescence (NPIA), Territorial Projects, Elderly (Anziani), and Disability (Disabilità). Its service portfolio spans residential communities (CSS Enrico Nolli, Bertinotti Formenti, Civico 14, SRT BIOS), day centers (CDD Rudiano, CDD Palazzolo s/Oglio, Centro Diurno La Cascina, BIOS), home-based care (C-Dom, SAD, ADM, palliative care UCP-Dom), specialized autism programs using Applied Behavior Analysis methodology (LIFE!, Progetto Young, Sperimentazioni BIOS), and a paid ABA training course for external professionals. Operational footprint includes 12 physical service locations and an active workforce in the 101-250 employee range.

The business model is built on Italian public-sector social and healthcare infrastructure. The majority of services are accredited with the Servizio Sanitario Regionale (SSR) and contracted through regional healthcare authorities (ASST Franciacorta, ASST Garda, ATS di Brescia), municipalities and Uffici di Piano, and Regione Lombardia programs (Misura B1, FNA, Dopo di Noi, Voucher Autismo DGR 6003/2022). Revenue streams include accredited healthcare services under managed-service contracts, municipal service contracts for home care and school support, regional voucher programs, project funding through Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), and a limited set of private-pay services (Centro Specialistico, Progetto Young, ABA training). Customer segments are organized by population vulnerability: elderly and fragile individuals, adults with disabilities, minors and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, children with autism spectrum disorder, adults with mental health conditions, and families and minors in vulnerable situations. La Nuvola holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from Dasa Räegister across six service lines, Rating di Legalità from the Italian Competition Authority, and Gender Equality certification (PDR125).
