has characterized a lot of the treatment programs in the U.S.

as predatory.

He says his vision is to create, in America, the solution Italy has embraced.

Well, what makes it different is what I wanted to find out, and that's why I traveled there.

I flew to Rome, took a train to Bologna, and then drove to the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy to tour the San Patrignano campus.

I just can't believe how big it is.

I don't think I expected it to be so.

It's like a city.

I say a village.

A village, okay.

It's like a village.

Well, you take this winding country road, right, through rolling hills, and at the top of one hill is this sprawling campus.

And it's like its own village.

There are dozens of terracotta-colored buildings.

There are cottages and facilities for several of the industries there, like a farm, bakeries.

That's resident Luca Zulli.

There's also cheesemaking, a leather workshop, and textiles where fabric is woven on large wooden looms.

And basically we do blankets and scarves.

That's Carol Rocco in the textile workshop.

There's also an animal shelter.
