AMIS is back and expanding: 10 community centres bringing people together through movement
14 settembre 2026
Following the summer break, AMIS – Attività e Movimento Insieme per la Salute is back. The project, promoted by Wellness Foundation together with the City of Milan’s Department for Welfare and Health, aims to support active ageing, promote healthy lifestyles and help combat social isolation among people aged 65 and over.
AMIS is one of the concrete initiatives of Milano Wellness City 2030, the alliance launched in 2023 with the ambition of making Milan a city that places prevention and wellbeing at the heart of everyday life, building on the legacy of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Bringing movement into neighbourhoods and closer to where people live is one way of turning this vision into reality.
This year, AMIS welcomes two new locations: Casa di quartiere Porta Vigentina (Municipio 1) and Casa di quartiere De Andrè (Municipio 5), bringing the total number of participating community centres to 10. AMIS is now present across all nine of Milan’s municipal districts.
Each weekly session lasts two hours and is led by young graduates in Sports Science who are also qualified Technogym Master Trainers. The session begins with a walk to activate the muscles, followed by a physical exercise session focused on building strength, balance and mobility. It concludes with a healthy snack and the “wellness bites”: informal conversations and practical tips to help participants adopt healthier habits in their everyday lives. It is an opportunity not only to get moving, but also to spend time together and meet new people in the local community. The snacks and refreshment breaks are made possible through the support of Esselunga, which, as part of its commitment to promoting balanced lifestyles, supports the initiative by donating products.
