The Foundation: a story of values
The Carlo Acutis Foundation is a social program promoted by an entrepreneurial family. It breathes the language of business, shares and amplifies its values, which are common to the people and companies that have come together to create a social project that the Foundation aims to develop over time.
From its name, the Carlo Acutis Foundation embodies an ideal embrace between generations: Carlo Acutis is the entrepreneur who heads the Vittoria Assicurazioni Group, but he is also his grandson, the Blessed Carlo Acutis.
Details
This embrace unites tradition and innovation, projecting towards a future firmly rooted in historical values: loyalty, concreteness, transparency, collaboration, and professionalism.
The foundation places the individual at the center, building social, cultural, artistic, and scientific research interventions, aware that even in the smallest there is a flame of light that can expand.
Using business tools, starting from its project and relational skills.
And with a mission: to contribute to inspiring and producing a positive transformation of the world.
Enlightened by the example of the Blessed Carlo Acutis and his “normality” as a boy. A smiling, exceptional, normality, whose testimony of life will be the reference point for programs dedicated to the personal and civic growth of young people, in a context of harmony between generations.
