The Prize

Artwork by Pietro Annigoni

Made on ceramic and signed by the artist.

Dimensions: 52x42 cm.

The first of Annigoni's solo work was displayed in 1932 and featured a true-to-life style. By masterfully using the ancient Reinassance pictorial techniques, he creates his artistic journey in clear contrast with the Modernism and Postmodernism styles.

From 1966 to 1988, his career was characterized by a sequence of prestigious exhibitions. It's worth mentioning some Annigoni’s Italian frescos painted throughout the country - the Montecassino Abbey, the Convent of San Marco in Florence, the Sant'Antonio Basilica in Padua.
One of his most acclaimed artworks is the painting cycle of the San Michele Arcangelo parish church in Ponte Buggianese.

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.
