What might a truly generative and transformative hospitality look like?
"Hospitality" often conjures up images of restaurants, hotels, or having guests over. The word originates in the Latin hospes, which can mean "host", "guest", or "stranger." Across cultures, we consider it a virtue to welcome the stranger. The more radical the gesture of welcome, the more beautiful we tend to find it. Beyond the short-lived transactions or interactions we often experience in the hospitality industry and even in our day-to-day lives, there are modes of hospitality that are long-lasting and transformative. These gestures point us to the beauty that lies at the core of hospitality.
In this post I want to share with you the experience of two organizations in Italy, Cometa and Famiglie per l'Accoglienza, both of which are committed to radical hospitality in fostering and educating children. I interviewed the leaders of these organizations, Alessandro Mele and Luca Sommacal respectively, who have much to teach us about what "beauty" means in this context.
