About us
BIRTH OF AN ASSOCIATION
RestArte – Cultural Association was founded in June 2008 and was reconstituted in 2022 by the will of people who have a particular sensitivity to culture. Following the experiences with the first two editions of “Firenze Fashion”, an event of fashion, culture and social commitment events welcomed by the Superintendencies for Cultural Heritage of the city of Florence and aimed at recovering funds for the restoration of Palazzo Pitti, we decided to establish a Foundation that would carry out this project, extending it further to other objectives and thus favor the adhesion of new sponsors thanks With the new rules of the third sector in 2022 it is reconfigured into an Association for Culture that with its aptitude was immediately appreciated by the Superintendencies and the main institutional bodies with which it collaborates and by some Florentine personalities known to the general public, recognizing the precious contribution given to the enhancement of the artistic goods of Florence.
