Renzo Rosso (Diesel’s Founder) and Arianna Alessi / Only The Brave Foundation

Renzo Rosso, Founder of the Only The Brave Foundation

 “I have based my way of helping others on concreteness and transparency. I am extremely proud that thanks to the close cooperation between our two Foundations, we have been able to build the middle school with no wastes and within a very short time frame. Schooling age represents a pivotal moment in one’s life, and I believe that we have provided these boys and girls with an environment and educational tools of high quality which will positively contribute to their education and open-mindedness. I decided to personally take care of the aesthetic aspect of the project because beauty is also a value and a culture that must be thought as it will create, in its turn, more beauty”.

Arianna Alessi, Vice-President of the Only The Brave Foundation

“We decided to intervene in the areas hit by earthquake immediately after the tragic event. As we realized that we had to act as a matter of urgency to help these children, we did our utmost to quickly kick off this project. We were confronted with this type of challenge for the first time and not all the steps towards the final result proved easy, but we tackled them with great enthusiasm, and now that we have finally reached our goal we are extremely satisfied with our accomplishment. The joy of these children who will finally get back to normality and study in a safe and beautiful building, featuring many services, is really priceless”.
