The Cosanti Foundation is developing business and educational relationships with Italian parties through its new program, The Italian Project. Italian Project began with Soleri’s reception in Biennale di Venezia, 2000, where architects Massimiliano Fuksas and Renzo Piano presented Soleri with the Golden Lion Award. The publication of Iolanda Lima’s book “Soleri, Architecture As Human Ecology” has also played a large part in propelling Cosanti Foundation’s connections with Italy.

International Law Specialist Matteo Di Michele is working on the development of current and new programs with the valued help of a vital network composed of many people from widely diverse backgrounds.
