Returning a cultural treasure to the city is far more than working on a work of art: it means renewing the dialogue between people and their own history.
Francesca Amirante, Art historian, Scientific Committee
Even marble, seemingly the most durable of materials, is fragile and perishable: every work needs the care and dedication of us all.
Gennaro Russo, Marble worker, Partner
In Naples, beauty and history are everywhere. Knowing them and helping to preserve them is essential if we are to face the future with greater awareness.
Mario Berni Canani, Student, Young member
Every donation supports a concrete process: research, permits, artisan expertise, materials, documentation and the public return of each work to the city.
