Giorgina Venosta: Continuity of the European Guido Venosta Foundation (2019)

After the death of Guido Venosta in 1998, his widow, Carla Fossati Bellani (remarried), decided to continue her husband’s legacy by founding the Guido Venosta Foundation, which has always operated along three main lines: research on the solidarity economy (which the FGV has also financed), training in the non-profit sector, and the production of cultural resources for deeper exploration.
Carla Venosta actively managed the FGV almost until her death in 2019. Subsequently, Guido’s daughter, Giorgina, who had always been involved in the foundation’s activities with her second husband, Aldo Bassetti, joined the organization’s board and took up the mantle to pass it, at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, to his son Giuseppe Caprotti, Guido’s grandson, who has been serving as President and Treasurer since 2020 and has devoted—and continues to devote—substantial effort to new initiatives, both ethical and cultural, in line with the emerging challenges of recent decades and following the Covid-19 epidemic.
