The house of the Youths, Pope John XXIII, is an organ of the social
service of the diocese of Piacenza, started in 1968, by the generous
donation of the meritorious bank of "Cassa di Risparmio di Piacenza",
to give hospitality and only daytime assistance to the travelling girls
students and working women of the city of Piacenza, of the province of
Piacenza and of other provenance, in order to facilitate them to achieve
an academic title or for an adequate practical preparation and culture of work.
