In this episode - the fourth in our mini-series on
“European philanthropy during and after COVID” – we speak to Carola
Carazzone, Secretary General of Assifero, about philanthropy in
Italy and beyond. Including
What is the history and current context for philanthropy in
Italy?
How does this differ from the cultures, histories and
legal/policy environments for philanthropy in other places across
Europe?
Are there commonalties? I.e. is it meaningful to talk about
“European philanthropy”?
What is the balance between local, regional, national and
international approaches in Italian philanthropic funding?
What is the attitude of the Italian government towards
philanthropy?
What kind of philanthropic responses to the covid-19 crisis
have we seen in Italy? What challenges have they faced?
What is the role of infrastructure bodies in helping civil
society organisations and funders navigate and adapt to a
rapidly-changing environment?
Has the Covid-19 pandemic and the need to coordinate responses
effectively increased awareness of the value of
infrastructure?
What elements of infrastructure are required for a healthy
culture of philanthropy and a vibrant civil society?
Do we need to make a renewed case for the value of
infrastructure and the need to ensure it is properly funded?
