I have always believed in the social cohesion action started in Italy by the foundations of banking origin, especially as regards welfare, healthcare, education and research: attention to sensitive issues of society has been, for many years now, informing the activity of Cariparma Foundation, with the most part of the annu- al funds allocated to initiatives and projects dedicated to vulnerable people and to young people, and used to strengthen the third sector and to keep medical equipment constantly up to the state of the art.

In my short but intense experience, I could fully understand the core values of our Founda- tion. I am talking about that mission to support the Community and the social fabric, which, over the years, has been pursued thanks to conver- gent, independent and enlightened governance, which was certainly successful in achieving the Foundation’s institutional purposes. Focusing on collective interest, the Foundation has always given priority to listening to people, subsidiar- ity and transparency, to promote economic and cultural development, making independence and cohesion its distinctive features.
