Ninety-year-old 'chef of the poor' Dino Impagliazzo, cooks 800-1,000 meals for Rome's homeless every week
ROME - Dino Impagliazzo dices onions like a master chef and makes a mean vegetable soup, but most of his loyal “customers” can’t afford to buy even a bread stick.
It all began 15 years ago when a homeless man at a Rome train station asked him for money to buy a sandwich. Now the RomAmoR volunteers cook the food on the other four days of the week and serve it in various places in the city, mostly near train stations. On Saturday nights, they set up under a portico outside St. Peter’s Square to feed the growing number of homeless who sleep in the area, where Pope Francis has also opened medical and bathing facilities for them.
