“The Foundation's intention is not only that, which the Collection has been pursuing for several years, to support young artists through research and exhibition activities, but also to highlight the extraordinary power of art in reaching social goals. Wholeheartedly , I firmly believe in the therapeutic power of art, and numerous future projects will be aimed at supporting socially vulnerable groups and to spread art as a support to regain lost balances”

After more than a decade of exhibitions and curatorial work, the Giuseppe Iannaccone Foundation – a Third Sector organisation – was established, building on the experience of the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection founded in Milan by lawyer Giuseppe Iannaccone. The Foundation was created not only to expand its cultural activities but also to focus more actively on issues with social impact
