Signs of the lagoon: the impact of cultural foundations in Venice.
Heritage, work, living
The Veneto Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts and the Querini Stampalia Foundation, in consideration of the close relations between the institutions deriving from the testamentary wishes of Count Giovanni Querini, announce a study award of € 3,000.00 to promote a study aimed at investigating, quantifying and mapping the impact of the growing number of cultural foundations present in Venice on the productive activity of the city.

– New professions and skills
– Training and job opportunities
– Impact on residential areas
– Activation of subcontracting networks
