Il 29 Aprile 2019 alla presenza dei soci fondatori (Marco Vallisa, Giovanna Vidorno Motka, Rita Russo e Federico Motka) è nata Hostage Italia
Terry Waite CBE, co-founder and President of Hostage International, said: “I am delighted to know that Hostage Italia is offering essential support to Italians as part of the Hostage International family. I have always said that the difficulties families face are almost equally as difficult as what the hostage himself or herself faces, so it is comforting to know that Hostage Italia is there to support families affected as well as returning hostages.”
