On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October, Volla hosts "Salute in Città", a prevention-focused weekend organized by ASL Napoli 3 Sud. The event combines free walk-in visits and screenings with the opening of the new Casa di Comunità "Dott. Dino Battistella".
What is happening
"Salute in Città" is dedicated to local and preventive health care. According to ASL Napoli 3 Sud, all the visits, screenings and services listed for the weekend are free and require no booking.
Health activities take place between Via Aldo Moro and the Villa Comunale:
- Saturday: 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
- Sunday: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
The opening ceremony for the Casa di Comunità "Dott. Dino Battistella", in Health District 50, is scheduled for Saturday at 5:00 PM in Via Luigi Einaudi.
Medical checks on offer
The programme covers a wide range of specialties and early-detection checks, including:
- Cardiology, ECG and echocardiogram
- Eye care, tonometry, retinography and glaucoma screening
- Spirometry for respiratory function
- Dermatology and mole mapping
- Breast services and breast ultrasound
- Liver-steatosis screening, colorectal screening and Pap test
Other services include HPV vaccination for adults, flu vaccination, blood-donation information and activities, plus veterinary services with free microchipping, registration in the dog registry and blood-sample screening.
Space for children, teenagers and families
In the Villa Comunale there will be dedicated areas for children, teenagers and families, with listening and information activities on child development, health, HPV, childhood obesity and the Mediterranean diet.
How to use the walk-in access well
Because access is free and without reservation, visitors do not need to book ahead. The practical details confirmed by ASL Napoli 3 Sud are the two locations — Via Aldo Moro and the Villa Comunale — and the two time windows for Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Arriving earlier in each time slot may help, although the sources do not specify capacity limits, average waiting times or how entry will be managed during busy periods.
What families can plan for
Families can combine adult check-ups with the family-oriented programme in the Villa Comunale. The listed topics there focus on prevention and information rather than treatment: infant development, HPV awareness, childhood obesity and the Mediterranean diet.
The available sources do not clarify whether every service is open to all age groups or whether some checks have specific eligibility criteria, so visitors with questions about a particular screening should ask staff on site.
A new local health point
The weekend also marks the opening of the Casa di Comunità "Dott. Dino Battistella" in Via Luigi Einaudi. No regular public opening calendar after the inaugural event is given in the sources, so the Saturday ceremony is presented as the starting point for this new district health facility.
