Michele Cascella was an Italian artist known for his impressionistic landscape paintings. Inspired by the work of Vincent Van Gogh, Raoul Dufy, and Maurice Utrillo, the artist used watercolor and pastels to convey the vibrant hues and abundant flora of the Abruzzi region of Italy.

Born on September 7, 1892 in Ortona a Mare, Italy, Cascella was taught drawing and printmaking techniques by his father, painter and graphic artist Basilio Cascella. He held his first exhibition when he was still in his teens.

Today, the artist’s works are held in the collections of the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in Brussels, among others.

The Cause

Micro Sol means Solidal Microcredit. We have created a fund to provide small interest-free loans for people who live in countries where the average income is particularly low: Burundi, Rwanda, Nicaragua. The microcredit is then used to found or expand a work reality like creating farms or spaces to host chickens and pigs, and buying seeds or equipment to grow rice, cereals or beans. People can also buy what they need to open a tailoring service, a little shop in isolated areas away from the cities, and many other ventures. The micocredits are usually from 20 to 800 euros per person/family, and they expire in 4 to 18 months. In the locations, our professional partners select the beneficiaries that monitor the microcredit and make sure that it's returned to the charity. At this point, we can either return the loan to the donor or loan the money to other people.
