The Fondazione Ravasi Garzanti, established according to the wishes of publisher Livio Garzanti, aims to translate his legacy into multiple initiatives that help reshape how Milan views ageing and addresses the longevity of its citizens. This philanthropic organization distributes not only material resources but also knowledge and relationships, building alliances with the many vibrant communities of the city. Its strategy unfolds along three lines of action: research, services, and culture. By investing in research and cultural engagement, the foundation explores the changes required by longevity – not in opposition to other transformations, but by co-creating new habitats and fostering public dialogue. Through partnerships, it promotes the idea that ageing – and above all, living together rather than merely surviving alone – should become a shared civic project for which Milan takes full responsibility.
