Description of the organization
Fondazione Cosso was born in 2008. It is based at the Miradolo Castle, in San Secondo di Pinerolo, in the province of Turin.
One of the main purposes of the Fondazione Cosso is to consolidate the role of Miradolo Castle as a cultural center, so as to recreate that cultural cenacle the Countess Sofia Cacherano di Bricherasio, ancient owner of the historic home, create around hersel, between the Nineteenth century and Twentieth century.
The art exhibitions, developed from a research point of view, are complemented by educational and social activities and by tourist promotion projects.
How the organisation will contribute to the dissemination and exploitation of the project results
The Fondazione Cosso will make a series of communication activities, relating to the progress of the project, through newsletters, social networks and press office work.
The Miradolo Castle and its park will also be available to host some informative and organizational activities.
Furthermore, it will be possible to plan some moments to talk about our experience with the Diaconia Valdese Valli project, called “DementAlent”, which allowed a patient suffering from Alzhaimer to collaborate with our gardener.
