“I wanted this foundation
to give back to the country
all the good and beautiful things
wanted to give me”.

Leonardo Del Vecchio, Founder

With deep sorrow and immense respect, Fondazione Leonardo Del Vecchio joins the condolences of the entire world for the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
In recent years, our Foundation had the honor of collaborating with the Holy Father in a project that was deeply close to his heart: the rescue and revitalization of the Isola Tiberina Hospital, a symbol of care, welcome and hope in the heart of Rome. His humanity and silent strength have been a constant guide and inspiration for us.
Pope Francis knew how to speak to the hearts of the least, and he always did so with concrete gestures. His legacy accompanies us, today more than ever, and commits us to continue with greater strength the path traced together in favor of those who have no rights, so that no one will ever be left behind.
