Fondazione Italia Patria Bellezza Announces 2022 Grant Winners

The second edition of the Fondazione Italia Patria Bellezza grant has named four winners from 140 submissions across Italy. Two winners receive €30,000 each, while two others get a €50,000 rebranding voucher from Robilant Associati. Special prizes are sponsored by Gruppo Montenegro, Luxottica, and IGP Decaux. Winning projects include Arte Sella 35, an initiative by Associazione Arte Sella Impresa Sociale promoting dialogue between creativity and nature; BelMondo, a territorial project by La Rivoluzione delle Seppie in Belmonte Calabro, Calabria, focusing on regeneration of marginal areas through relational approaches involving locals and newcomers; Post Disaster Rooftops, a nonprofit by architects and designers in Taranto transforming old city rooftops into temporary public spaces; and Accademia del Teatro alla Scala, which receives in-kind support for youth-oriented communication and a new technologically advanced campus. President Maurizio di Robilant emphasized beauty's fragility and the need to reflect on war.
