2025 was a year of great intensity and growth for ARTandCHARITY O.D.V., during which the association consolidated its cultural and social role in the area, while also expanding its fields of action and opportunities for participation.
Throughout the year, numerous initiatives were promoted that intertwined music, art, culture, social interaction, and civic engagement. Different events in form and content, but united by a single vision: the belief that culture, when shared, can become a concrete tool for inclusion, relationships, and social support.
Among the most significant initiatives were convivial and cultural moments, such as the Pizza Party in Gazzada Schianno, a simple yet precious opportunity for gathering and community, and the concert for the 300th anniversary of Giacomo Casanova's birth, held in the prestigious Salone Estense in Varese, which successfully combined music, history, and cultural dissemination. Alongside this, there was the collective exhibition “Casanova: 300 Years of Fascination”, set up at the Ubik Bookstore in Varese, which gave space to visual arts and dialogue between artists and the public.

There was also great participation in the cultural trip to Crespi d’Adda and the Monastery of Astino, an experience that allowed participants to rediscover places of extraordinary historical, social, and human value, strengthening the sense of sharing and belonging that animates the association.
A central role in 2025 was played by the music festival “Reviviscenze Musicali”, now in its sixth edition and by now recognized as one of the most significant events in the ARTandCHARITY program. The festival continued to offer quality concerts, highlighting musicians, venues, and audiences, and confirming music as a universal language capable of uniting generations and different sensibilities. Starting from 2026, this experience will evolve into a new and renewed format under the name “Risonanze Musicali”, marking a step of growth and renewal in the spirit of continuity of the values that have always inspired the project.

Alongside artistic and cultural activities, 2025 saw the association decisively open up to issues of innovation and digital citizenship. In this context, the workshop dedicated to Artificial Intelligence was introduced, conceived as a moment of information and discussion about a tool that is increasingly present in everyday life, approached with an accessible, critical, and people-oriented perspective.
There was no shortage of institutional and associative moments, such as the Annual Members' Meeting, a fundamental opportunity for sharing, reporting, and future planning, and the participation in the NRDC – No Limits Day in Solbiate Olona, a symbolic event of commitment to inclusion, disability, and the breaking down of cultural and social barriers.
A particularly significant milestone in 2025 was also the start of a support program for a young person with disabilities at the association's headquarters. This was a concrete first step in a broader commitment aimed at supporting possible autonomy, dignity, and inclusion for the most vulnerable people, turning the association's values into daily and tangible actions, a program obviously agreed upon with Magari Domani Onlus.
The initiatives carried out during the year received the patronage of the Municipality of Brunello, the host municipalities, the Province of Varese, and the Lombardy Region, confirming the cultural and social value of the proposed activities. As further recognition of the work done, ARTandCHARITY O.D.V. received in 2025 the Honorable Mention from CSV Lombardia for the activities carried out in the area.
All this was made possible thanks to the support of the “Azienda Amica” program and the donations from participants in the various events. The resources collected were allocated to support socially oriented projects, reinforcing the belief that culture, when shared, becomes a powerful tool for inclusion and concrete help.
2025 tells the story of a vibrant association, capable of evolving, listening to the community, and turning ideas and values into real experiences. A journey that continues, looking to the future with the same passion that has always driven ARTandCHARITY O.D.V.
