I am honored to continue to lead Vsf. This extraordinary and intense three-year period has seen the Foundation consolidate: we have built a solid and visionary project, achieving concrete results thanks to a unique partnership, which has no equal elsewhere. My re-election represents a renewed trust in our work, which will continue with the same commitment and determination. The Foundation will continue to work for the sustainable future of Venice and its territory, strengthening local and global synergies to offer innovative solutions to contemporary challenges", he concluded.
