A weekly visit for Bruno, 75, who lives alone in Messina

Looking for a friendly person in Messina to visit Bruno once a week.

Messina
I'm writing for my neighbor Bruno, who's 75. Bruno lives alone in Messina, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Bruno loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
