The Fondazione Giorgio Cini This institution was founded by Vittorio Cini to commemorate his son Giorgio, who had tragically died in an air crash on August 31st, 1949.
Created on April 20, 1951, the Foundation was granted official juridical status bya degree of the President of the Republic on July 12th the same year. The state-owned island of San Giorgio Maggiore was made available to the Foundation,provided the monumental part was properly restored and became the centre of the Foundation’s activities. In little over a year, with his typical spirit and energy,Vittorio Cini transformed an irreparable loss into an endeavour perpetuating the memory of his son Giorgio. Vittorio made over most of his possessions to a project that was to mark the history of Italian culture and have echoes and repercussions worldwide.
