12 International Artists Design Christmas Trees for Lavazza Foundation Charity Auction
The Fondazione Maria Teresa Lavazza is hosting a charity auction featuring twelve talented artists, each designing a unique Christmas tree. The lineup includes names like Valerio Berruti, Stefano Biliato from Toiletpaper, and Nicola Bolla, among others. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Neogen project, Italy's first neonatal screening program that uses genetic analysis to identify 500 pediatric illnesses early. This initiative kicked off on October 1, 2023, with a goal of enrolling about 6,000 newborns at Sant'Anna Hospital in Turin. The foundation was established in 2021 by Giuseppe and Francesca Lavazza to pay tribute to Maria Teresa Lavazza.
