The Cuore project - epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases – has been launched as “epidemiology and prevention of ischaemic heart diseases” in 1998 thanks to a financial support from the 1% of the National health fund. The project is coordinated by the National health institute (Istituto Superiore di Sanità - ISS).
