Objectives and activities carried out, in summary

In 2020 and 2021, first through President Giuseppe Caprotti personally and later as part of the Fondazione Guido Venosta, efforts were made to support numerous hospitals and physicians in addressing the Covid-19 emergency. In addition to financing scientific research on swab tests and vaccines, and setting up Intensive Care Stations both in Italy and Brazil, the Foundation distinguished itself with the generous donation of medical equipment and devices—particularly to hospitals in Merate and Lecco, as well as many others.
