ABF is made of stories: our new commercial featuring the beneficiaries of our empowerment projects as the stars is ONLINE now.

With the special appearance of our Founder Andrea Bocelli.

The Andrea Bocelli Foundation, Ente Filantropico, is launching a new commercial dedicated to the Foundation’s more than 10 years of work with the claim “ABF is made of stories!”

In 12 years with our mission “empowering people and communities”, the Foundation has written thousands of stories of empowerment around the world with its donors, volunteers and supportive friends: from the slums of Haiti to the areas of Central Italy devastated by the 2016 earthquake swarm and the hospital schools that are part of the Italian Pediatric Hospitals Association (AOPI) network.

In the new 30-second commercial, we’ll be telling you the stories of Gerald, Benedetta and Marie, different and unique stories, yet ones which are strongly intertwined with ABF’s empowerment projects, which have always aimed to help those in distress due to illness, poverty, and social exclusion to overcome their social and economic barriers so as to be able to express their full potential.
