ABOUT

About Us

Based in Switzerland, the association is spearheaded by Allison Zurfluh and co-founded with Pietro Rusconi and Silvia Bracher. Alongside professionals in a variety of fields, our advisory committee includes locals such as the molecante Domenico Rossi, Alberto Barausse of the University of Padova, Massimiliano and Ruggero Bovo of the Trattoria al Gatto Nero, and location support of the privately-owned island Isola Santa Cristina. We seek to bring concrete, no-nonsense support by collecting and providing direct funding to projects that make a tangible impact on this environment.
