Could you share an hour a week with Roberto?

Roberto lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Rome
I'm writing for my neighbor Roberto, who's 92. Roberto lives alone in Rome, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Roberto loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. Thank you for reading my story.
