Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, one of Italy's foremost contemporary art experts, has been named the new president of the Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. The decision was made by the outgoing board of the cultural nonprofit, chaired by Fabrizio Palenzona, which also approved the composition of the new board. Sandretto Re Rebaudengo is president of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and of the Comitato Fondazioni Arte Contemporanea, and serves on international councils of MoMA New York, Tate Gallery London, and the New Museum New York. She is known for fostering public-private cultural partnerships. The new board includes lawyer Giuseppe Iannaccone, founder of Studio Giuseppe Iannaccone and a collector of modern and contemporary Italian art; Roberto Spada, founder of Spada & Partners, contemporary art collector, and president of Fondazione San Patrignano; and Luigi Cerutti as secretary general, former CEO of Società Editrice Umberto Allemandi. The foundation aims to strengthen its ties with Turin, positioning art as a driver for the city's growth through national and international initiatives. Founded in 1991, Fondazione CRT is the third-largest banking foundation in Italy by assets, operating in Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. Over 30 years, it has disbursed over €2 billion for more than 42,000 projects, including the restoration of statues at Palazzo Madama in Turin and grants for exhibitions in Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta.
