A weekly visit for Angela, 73, who lives alone in Rome

Looking for a friendly person in Rome to visit Angela once a week.

Rome
I'm writing for my neighbor Angela, who's 73. Angela lives alone in Rome, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Angela loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I hope life is good to you.
