It's beautiful.

And I'm going to what looks like a college campus.

There's a large terracotta colored building surrounded by black iron fencing.

I'm here at the main entrance and I'm going for a tour.

Listen to NPR News Now on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Well, first of all, it's huge.

There are hundreds of people there, and it's really like its own self-contained village with a bunch of its own businesses that are run to help keep the treatment program funded.

When I got there, I met San Patrignano representatives who showed me around from the various workshops to the medical center to the dining hall, the bakery.

It went on and on.

And it's just out there in the Italian countryside?

Yep.

It's at the top of a mountain, really, a 700-acre campus in the middle of nowhere.

But it is very well known.

It's attracted tens of thousands of people over the years, including some from the United States.

And my first day there, I met one of them.

I'm from Boston.

Where are you from?

Detroit.

Yeah.

How long have you been here?
