We are grateful to share that the charity dinner spearheaded by Benedetta Fullin and Ristorante Local - in collaboration with Homo Faber and Michelangelo Foundation - raised a total of € 17’600 for Barena Association’s SOS Barena project!

Chefs Salvatore Sodano of Ristorante Local - Donato Ascani of Ristorante Glam Venezia - and Masahiro Homma of Osteria Giorgione da Masa created a unique dinner with wines selected by Manuel Trevisan and Ottavio Venditto and generously donated by Ronco Calino Franciacorta, Rocche dei Manzoni, Alois Lageder and Pellegrini Spa. Lively tunes were provided by Claudio Bernardinello.

The evening started with a private tour of the 2024 Homo Faber Exhibition: the Journey of Life, followed by guest talks by Alberto Vanderbilt Cavalli, Executive Director of Michelangelo Foundation, Allison Zurfluh Co-founder and President of Barena Association.

As we continue our work in the northern wetlands, this solidarity, this concrete act of positivity, spurs us forward.
We are excited about the work to come.
