History
The Foundation was established in 2003 at the initiative of the Lazzareschi family.

Working closely with the Municipality of Porcari, the Foundation quickly became a civic focal point. Over its first decade, it evolved into a unifying force for cultural, social and entrepreneurial growth across the region.
