ABOUT US

About Us
We are a group of people united by a passion for Culture and Art, with the aim of putting innovative ideas into practice in the social and cultural field.

Our Mission
Our goal is to support charity through the promotion of culture and art. It all started in 2017, when Manuela Codazzi was inspired to use art as a tool to help those in need. From this idea, the "ArtAndCharity" project was born, a name that perfectly reflects our essence.

Our Beginnings
Our first art exhibition took place at the Albergo Madri Pie in Noli (SV), thanks to the generosity of Mother General Silvana Pagliarino and Director Maurizio Rizzi. This charming hotel overlooking the sea in Liguria enthusiastically hosted about ten artists. The success of the event led to its repetition in Noli in 2018, with the funds raised destined for missions in Peru and Madagascar.

The Birth of the Association
These extraordinary initial successes inspired us to found an association that uses art for charitable purposes. Thus, the Association "InTogo" was born, initially focused on humanitarian projects in Togo thanks to the contribution of our former president Cristian Katou, a young Togolese living in the province of Varese, but very active in his home country.

Our Evolution
With time, we felt the need to extend our support to other realities beyond Togo. Therefore, in July 2022, we renamed the Association to ARTandCHARITY O.D.V. and elected Giovanni Tommasi as President.

Our Appeal
We firmly believe that Culture is an essential nourishment for the growth and progress of all. However, we know that to realize our numerous projects, the contribution of everyone is necessary. Each new member or even a small donation can make a difference and fuel the source of our work.

Collaborations
We are open and happy to collaborate with other associations, organizations, or groups that wish to share and support our projects, always in accordance with statutory regulations. Join us and contribute to making a difference through Culture and Art.
