Founded in 1996 with the aim of creating a private support structure for the Civic Museums of Venice, VIF was the first association in Italy to channel private funding into the public museum sector through micro-patronage.
Since then, we have envisioned new ways to protect, restore, and revitalize the city we care so deeply about: a symbolic place of history and modernity, connected to the world through the beauty of its art.
Over time, we have also extended our reach to other important Venetian institutions, such as the Fondazione Querini Stampalia and the Gallerie dell’Accademia, thus strengthening our commitment to the city’s cultural heritage.
Our mission is to safeguard and promote the historical, artistic, and cultural heritage of Venice and its lagoon through restoration, research, and enhancement projects in collaboration with the city’s cultural institutions and Civic Museums.
Our supporters are philanthropists committed to preserving something extraordinary, passionate members of a prestigious circle, proud ambassadors of beauty in the world.
Join us and help shape the future of Venice by enhancing its past.
