Commendatore dell'Ordine al merito della Repubblica Italiana

I have dedicated the greatest part of my life to art, at first as an art-collector and today as Vice President of Fondazione Sorgente Group, which is entirely financed by Sorgente Group. My job is in substance based on the promotion and divulgation of the cultural expressions of our country and in safeguarding the values expressed in the works of art which I identify for our Foundation, with a passion and great effort.

Artistic sensibility is surely a rare quality, but the ability and the will to involve others in our discoveries falls within the principle feminine standards of generosity and solidarity: because art should not be kept secluded, as it is not an asset that should be made accessible just to those who are capable of giving it a spontaneous interpretation. Art must be shared in an educative way so as to generate a personal growth and hence overcome the distortions of reality, provoking a re-dimensioning of natural pains, thereby reaching the fairest and most adequate level of understanding of those admiring it. All this can be achieved through the inevitable correlation between beauty and good.

This is my path and this is the advice I give as a Woman who works in the world of Art and for Art: one must always extract the Good out of Beauty and may this constantly be the instrument for a serene, generous and zealous life.
