Published the new call for contributions in favor of organizations, associations, foundations. Applications by June 30th.
It coincides with phase 2 of the post-lockdown recovery. In reality, an initiative consolidated since 2003 in two regions with a high tourist and cultural attraction continues, which has already fielded over 42 million euros. The tender of the CRT Foundation " Restauri Cantieri Diffuse", open until 30 June, is a gradual and serious process. Assign grants of up to 40 euros. The goal of to revive historical, artistic and architectural assets of particular value and value in Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta is part of the reawakening of activities in two very attractive Regions. A private response that fills the void of public initiatives.
The contributions will go towards the restoration of movable assets (canvases, organs, statues, book assets, wooden furnishings) and immovable assets subject to protection. The Bank requests definitive or executive projects that have already been examined by the Superintendencies for construction within a year. It is important that projects are no older than five years. Who can compete? Public or religious entities, associations, foundations, museums, committees, non-profit entities. A rich list of potential participants who manage assets that are almost always taken away from visits due to lack of money. Healthy banks and companies compensate for the deficit of the government and local government budgets. It will be interesting to see how much availability they will still have in the coming months after the crisis of recent months.
The territorial and sustainability profiles of Piedmont and Valle D'Aosta are among the most pleasant in Italy. Facts on which CRT insists in recalling that the landscape and environmental context encourage the involvement of local communities also through fundraising initiatives. A sense of community that we find in the words of Giovanni Quaglia President of the CRT Foundation when he says that the tender contributes "concretely to the restart of economic activities with a high employment impact, essential for preserving the economic and social fabric of the territory". Although with different socio-economic identities, Piedmont and the Aosta Valley measure the tourist flows on the reception scattered among museums, castles, churches, art galleries, parks. In the last year he explains Massimo Lapucci Secretary General of the Foundation the initiative “ has activated an induced activity of 300 small and medium enterprises. It has set in motion new building sites which employ many 'beauty craftsmen'”. The assets so far saved with CRT money count 2.600 historical, artistic and architectural assetsthe. A cultural wealth enjoyed by thousands of people that the bad epidemic should not compress in the upcoming summer season. The times for the restorations will be affected by the bureaucracy, but already knowing that a certain "hidden" work of art will one day be appreciated, cheers the spirit. Looking forward to actually seeing it.
