On 6 September 2018, a Garden of the Righteous was inaugurated in Seveso, inside the park of Villa Dho, owned by the municipality but given on loan for use by the Natur& association, which takes care of teenagers with family difficulties. The latter has been collaborating for several years with the association Senza Confini and recently, together with other fifteen associations, has created the Villadho CasAperta Network which deals with culture, memory and human rights. This is why the Garden dedicated to Giacomo Bassi, Righteous Among the Nations, which during the Second World War saved five members of the Contente Jewish family, in the municipality of San Giorgio su Legnano, was created.
