Projets
La Fondation cherche à honorer la mémoire de Rodolfo Ferrari en s’engageant dans la création et la gestion de projets à des fins sociales et solidaires. Elle exerce des activités de divulgation scientifique et artistique en développant des initiatives caritatives contribuant au bien-être de la collectivité et de l’environnement.
Parmi elles, l’octroi de bourses d’étude pour la recherche scientifique, des visites de musées pour les élèves des écoles primaires et secondaires du quartier, des initiatives de soutien aux associations de patients, des associations contre la violence faite aux femmes et des initiatives contre la dégradation de l’environnement.

LABÒ Cultural Project
In synergy with the essence of the place, called to research in the medical field since its foundation in 1947, LABÒ is a laboratory that expresses itself in its true essence: an experimentation process that starts from an idea or a concept to become a product or an artwork.
As stated in the manifesto of the Rodolfo Ferrari Foundation, in fact, “scientific and artistic research use different methods and languages, but share the same desire: to make the invisible visible. On the one hand, there is the scientific method that is made of rigour, of reproducible and certain processes; on the other hand, the artistic method, which works with visual associations, experiments in a free way, measuring itself with the indeterminate, with events not necessarily rational. The two researches, apparently so distant, have one element in common: intuition. It opens to change, moves sensitivity and consciousness”.
Since 2023 the Rodolfo Ferrari Foundation entrusted Elsa Lemarignier and François Leblanc di Cicilia with the responsibility of promoting this new venture. Surpassing the time capsule effect caused by the buildings and some rooms, we are quickly caught by the power of architectures, and the breath of live of machines still on site.
