Giuseppe Iannaccone Foundation born in Milan, continues collection experience

The Giuseppe Iannaccone Foundation is born in Milan , a new third-sector institution that comes after more than a decade of exhibition and curatorial activity by the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection, founded in Milan by Campania lawyer Giuseppe Iannaccone, a great collector of contemporary art and art of the 1930s. The foundation intends not only to enhance the collection’s already well-established cultural activities, but also to turn its attention to issues of social impact. The team that will lead the foundation will consist of Alessia Iannaccone as Vice President, and then Caterina Fatta, Claudio Guenzani, Tommaso Iannaccone, Letizia Moratti and Roberto Spada as members of the Board of Directors, and Daniele Fenaroli as General Manager and Artistic Director.

With activities ranging from education to the enhancement of cultural heritage, from the organization of cultural projects to the promotion of social initiatives, the Giuseppe Iannaccone ETS Foundation intends to pursue cultural, civic and solidarity goals. The goal is to transcend the boundaries of merely cultural activities, so that art, as a medium that reads the contemporary, becomes a tool to promote diversity and support all those people living in socially fragile conditions.

Organization of exhibitions, conferences and reviews of visual arts, music, theater and film, involvement of venues outside the institutional one, realization of museum and exhibition activities, establishment of a collection of works that is always usable; and also promotion of activities of study, publication, preservation and documentary cataloging for scholars and students, collaborations and exchanges with cultural centers, universities, academies and schools of all levels: these are just some of the activities that the Foundation will initiate starting in 2024 involving an audience of teachers, artists, curators, cultural workers and enthusiasts.

The birth of the Giuseppe Iannaccone ETS Foundation, which will be based in the Giuseppe Iannaccone e Associati Law Firm, was announced yesterday at the presentation of the ninth edition of IN PRATICA, an exhibition series dedicated to young artists that this time features Pietro Moretti (Rome, 1996) with the exhibition Il falò dei gonfiabili, curated by Giuseppe Iannaccone himself and Daniele Fenaroli.

“The Foundation’s intent is not only that, which the Collection has already been pursuing for several years, of supporting young artists through research and exhibition activities,” says Giuseppe Iannaccone, “but also that of conveying the extraordinary power that art can express in the pursuit of social goals. In fact, I believe in the therapeutic power of art, and numerous projects in the pipeline will be aimed at supporting the most fragile groups and spreading art as a support to regain lost balances.”
