Treni della felicità

The treni della felicità (lit. 'trains of happiness') was a post-war initiative by the Italian Communist Party and the Unione donne italiane, whereby 70,000 impoverished children from southern Italy were transported to northern Italy between 1945 and 1952 to be hosted by families that could support them.
