Founded in 1943 in Italy, in the midst of the devastation of the Second World War, the National Association for Civilian Victims of War (ANVCG) has been tasked with assisting all civilian victims in Italy. Since then, it has promoted the interests and protected the rights of its constituency (120,000 registered members to this day). Since 2004, it has been operating as a non-profit organization with headquarters in Rome and 80 offices across Italy. ANVCG has proven to be a key actor in Italian society as a promoter of peace and a guide for new generations, keeping the memory of the fallen and caring for civilians affected by armed conflicts.
