Thanks to the symbolic role of Florence, as the humanistic capital that has always placed the human being and culture at the center, the Renaissance Fund represents the first step in the construction of a real world laboratory of Renaissance, which, starting from Florence, extends to all cities of Italy and the world.
The Fund for Rebirth was created to respond to the economic crisis generated by the post-Covid-19 pandemic and to allow citizens and the whole world to continue to enjoy the greatness of the city of Florence.
It is intended, in particular, for the conservation and maintenance of our artistic and cultural heritage: Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, our many civic museums and our squares, Piazza Signoria, Santa Croce, Santa Maria Novella,to make all these places more usable and accessible, with increasingly stringent organizational measures and to continue organizing exhibitions, events, workshops dedicated to children, initiatives in support of young artists, and the enhancement of craftsmanship. But it will also be destined to the birth of research and training places where to face the new cultural, social, environmental and technological challenges for people and the planet, to make Florence the capital of New Humanism.
The widespread beauty of which the city is rich is not only a privilege of its inhabitants, but a gift made to all humanity by the craftsmen who worked here, from Michelangelo to Leonardo da Vinci to Dante. Everything in Florence, an image, the detail of a work, a thought of a poet, is now part of humanity's spiritual and cultural treasure. And since Florence, which has never stopped giving its knowledge, beauty and genius to the world, is asking today that the world can continue to recognize and give it back.
Florence needs the world because the world needs Florence.
