Friday, June 11th at the Basilica of San Vitale and Companion Martyrs in Fovea: the presentation conference of the Antonio Emanuele Augurusa Foundation<\/em><\/p>\n\n

It will begin at 6:15 PM on Friday, June 11th<\/strong>, with the Eucharistic celebration dedicated to thefeast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, at the Basilica of San Vitale and Companion Martyrs in Foveaat Via Nazionale 194 in Rome, the presentation conference of the Antonio EmanueleAugurusa Foundation<\/strong>. The Foundation is named after a twelve-year-old boy of extraordinarycharitable and altruistic sensibilities, whose life was cut short in 1998 on a sunny summerafternoon in a makeshift soccer field in the Calabrian outskirts, arranged, like in many otherforgotten areas of the world’s many “souths,” without any regard for basic safety rules. Fromyet another innocent victim of a preventable and foreseeable tragedy in one of the manyneglected facilities meant for children, emerge the guiding principles of the nascent Augurusafoundation: education and social inclusion. <\/p>\n\n

Following the motto “Charitas omnia vincit<\/strong>“, the Foundation aims to direct itsmission and action toward integral human development, inspired and conceived by Pope Paul VI’sPopulorum Progressio, as “the promotion of every person and the whole person, in therealization of the integral development of peoples.” In this perspective, the Foundation builds uponAntonio’s<\/a> particular inclinations, who was always especially sensitive to conditions of marginalization andpoverty encountered in his childhood, and his dedication to sports, for which he became a victim,to the environment, for which he always showed an innate vocation for care and which requiresconstant educational and cultural commitment, and to art, a field in which he immediately revealedan evident passion. <\/p>\n\n

To achieve its goals, the Foundation proposes an operational model based on“generative restitution<\/a>“, positioning itself as an active promoter and intermediary so thatcorporate social responsibility projects, material donations, work services, and economic-financialdonations can converge in the concrete realization of high social impact works<\/strong> aimed at preventingtragedies that still too often reveal conditions of unacceptable social hardship in the world. So thatthose who have received more can give back more to those who, through no fault of their own,have never had, putting into circulation and making their “talents” generative. Multiple entities fromthe academic, business, and institutional worlds have already decided to embrace the “regenerativemodel” proposed by the Foundation, including companies committed to developing more sustainableand inclusive business models. <\/p>\n\n
