Patto per l’Arte per Venezia: A Partnership Between Business and Culture for the Future of the City

Protecting cultural heritage is a shared responsibility. It is from this belief that Patto per l’Arte per Venezia was created: an initiative promoted by the Venice International Foundation that brings together companies, institutions and professionals in a concrete alliance to support the preservation and enhancement of Venice’s extraordinary artistic and cultural heritage.

Patto per l’Arte per Venezia represents a new model of collaboration between the public and private sectors, where corporate responsibility is translated into a tangible commitment to the city. By supporting the Foundation’s projects, participating companies actively contribute to the conservation of a unique cultural legacy while helping to build a sustainable future for Venice.

The initiative is founded on the conviction that art and culture are not only treasures to be preserved, but also powerful drivers of social, economic and cultural value. Investing in their protection strengthens the relationship between businesses and the local community, fostering a vision of development based on responsibility, innovation and the promotion of Venice’s unique identity.

Leading companies have already joined Patto per l’Arte per Venezia, choosing to support this shared commitment: Banca Ifis, H-FARM, Umana, OVS, ABC Company, Labomar, Cereal Docks, WI Legal Studio, Morato Group, SIT Group and Gusi Camillo (Vimar). They are joined by Havas Arts & Culture and Nativa as project partners, with the support of Deloitte.

Patto per l’Arte per Venezia is an open initiative, designed to grow over time by welcoming new companies and organisations that wish to contribute to the protection and enhancement of Venice’s cultural heritage.

Supporting Patto per l’Arte per Venezia means becoming part of a network of businesses united by the desire to make a lasting and tangible contribution to one of the world’s most precious cultural treasures, while strengthening the bond between business, community and culture.
