The Prize

The Catalan painter Salvador Dalì, among the most incisive artists of the 20th century, made a significant contribution to the art of the Surrealism movement. The movement was founded with the writing of the Surrealism Manifesto by André Berton and flourished in Europe in the early 1920s. Dalì had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with great figures of his era, like Federico Garcia Lorca, Pablo Picasso, Juan Mirò and Luis Buñuel.

Dalì, known for his extravagant character, was a master of ironic, provocative and dreamlike Surrealism that realized fantastic images, born of the constant agitation of his restless mind. One of his most famous works is "The Persistence of Memory" from 1931.

This relief is made of 925/1000 silver, and weighs 250 grams. Its dimensions are 170x220 mm, and it is signed on the back. Number 841/1500.

The Cause

The Fondazione Giuliano e Maria Carmen Magnoni was founded in 2004 in Milan by the Magnoni family to continue the values of their parents, Giuliano and Maria Carmen. Through the foundation, they have made their commitment to improving the quality of life of individuals and the community a reality.

The Fondazione Magnoni's goals are to help disadvantaged youth through entrepreneurial initiatives. With its vast experience in the business world, the foundation acts as an incubator for social enterprises, either directly managing and/or sustaining the start-ups of such initiatives characterized by: economic sustainability—the ability to make themselves self-sufficient in the medium term; replicability—the ability to model the initiatives and multiply them throughout the country and abroad; measurability—the ability to quantify the impact generated from social and economic points of view.

Pursuing its objective of being a social enterprise incubator, it assists in the start-up and consolidation phase of the projects, making them economically self-sustaining and gradually reducing its managerial and financial support. In 2008, it invested heavily in Oltre Venture Capital Sociale—the first Italian social venture capital company.
