Villa del Sole

What Villa del Sole does

Villa del Sole (legal entity: Hyppocratica S.p.A. — Casa di Cura Villa del Sole) is a privately held, SSN-accredited multi-specialty clinic (Casa di Cura) located in Salerno, Campania, Italy. Operating as part of the Neuromed Group's distributed hospital network (ospedale diffuso) under the coordination of parent ICM Istituto Clinico Mediterraneo S.p.A., the clinic delivers inpatient care (ricovero ordinario), day hospital/day surgery, and outpatient services across general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology with electrophysiology, vascular surgery, general medicine, neonatology, senology, reconstructive and plastic surgery, and gastroenterology. Its high-volume Punto Nascita delivers 1,200+ births per year with a cesarean section rate at or below the 25% regional/national ceiling, and it operates a Bollini Rosa-designated women's health program. The clinic serves Salerno and the broader Campania region, with cross-referrals to peer Neuromed facilities (Clinica Malzoni, Clinica Trusso, ICM Agropoli) for specialty care.

The clinic's service portfolio spans advanced procedural medicine — including minimally invasive gynecologic surgery via vNOTES (among the first in Italy, adopted Feb 2023), cardiac Pulsed Field Ablation using FARAPULSE technology (first in Salerno province, November 2025), full-spectrum diagnostic and interventional digestive endoscopy (including video capsule, PEG, BIB, and sphincterotomy), and vascular surgery with both open and endovascular techniques. Diagnostic infrastructure includes radiology (CT, mammography), an analysis and histopathology lab, and a cardiovascular diagnostics unit, with an Agfa-powered online diagnostic reports portal for patient access. The clinic holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (Certificate IT346714, 2025), GDPR compliance, and the Bollini Rosa designation from ONDA for women's health excellence.

Commercially, Villa del Sole derives the majority of revenue from Italian National Health Service (SSN) reimbursement for accredited inpatient, day hospital/day surgery, and PACC diagnostic pathways (requiring physician referral), with a secondary revenue stream from private/fee-for-service patients via the centralized CUP booking system (phone, WhatsApp, online request form). Patient acquisition is driven by clinical reputation in obstetrics, cardiology, and vascular surgery, supplemented by community health outreach (PULSEDAY arrhythmia awareness with AIAC, ONDA H-Open Week gynecologic consultations, scoliosis/posture Open Days) and the Neuromed Group's digital ecosystem (institutional website, Facebook, Neuromed News magazine, inSalute newsletter). The clinic's governance is led by President Marco Patriciello and CEO Diana D'Antuono, with Dr. Giovanni Ricco as Medical Director.
