The Prize

Limited-edition scarf created by artist Maurizio Cattelan and dedicated to the Nicola Trussardi Foundation.

The Fondazione Nicola Trussardi is a non-profit institution for the promotion of contemporary culture, founded in Milan in 1996. Neither a museum nor a collection, the Trussardi Foundation acts as an agency for the production and diffusion of contemporary art in a wide variety of contexts and channels.

In collaboration with Seletti comes the “museum league”, a scarves collection designed by Maurizio Cattelan to support museums as if they were football teams. Colours are perfectly matched, and so are the name of the institutions and the “museum chants”, one for each scarf, created according to the museums’ DNA and coordinated images. Many international museums already agreed to be part of this project, and each one will be selling the scarves in their shops and e-shops: the idea is to build a growing museums’ league which could potentially involve all the international players in the contemporary art world.

The Cause

Komen Italia has been active for 25 years in the fight against breast cancer throughout the country thanks to its 7 Regional Committees and collaboration with a vast network of "friend associations" in more than 100 cities.

Thanks to the passion and commitment of a dedicated staff and more than 2,000 volunteers and the support of many partners and representatives from the world of institutions, culture, sports, entertainment and communication, Komen Italia has been able to, among other things:

- Award study prizes to 277 young researchers

- Launch 65 multi-year projects to support women experiencing breast cancer

- Support financially the projects of 307 associations

- Establish 2 new clinical and educational spaces, the "Komen Italia Center for Integrated Therapies in Oncology" at the Policlinico Gemelli in Rome and the multipurpose space "Women at the Center" at the Bellaria Hospital in Bologna, to promote a medicine that takes holistic care of the sick person and not only of the disease
