The annual members’ meeting of ARTandCHARITY O.D.V. took place in a climate of participation, sharing and genuine associative spirit, a key appointment to retrace together the path taken and look with confidence to future challenges.

The meeting was held in the presence of the Mayor of Brunello, Andrea Dall'Osto, the board and many members, bearing witness to a lively, attentive community, increasingly involved in the association’s activities.

Opening the proceedings was the President, Giovanni Tommasi, who explained in a detailed and passionate way the intense work carried out during 2025: a year full of cultural events, concerts, exhibitions and solidarity initiatives, which saw growing participation and strengthened the association’s presence in the area.

Next, the new Artistic Director of the music area was introduced, Maestro Davide Cervi, who presented both the series of meetings dedicated to Mozart and the program of the 7th edition of the music season, which from this year takes the new name “Musical Resonances”, marking a further step in the association’s path of growth and identity.

The President then reported on the important meeting held at the Teatro alla Scala with the General Manager Fortunato Ortombina, attended, in addition to the President himself, also by Mayor Andrea Dall'Osto, the secretary Manuela Codazzi and architect Alessandra Broggi, head of the Technical Office of the Municipality of Brunello.

The meeting was promoted with the aim of renewing the link between the famous Milanese theatre and the figure of Brunello’s distinguished citizen Antonio Ghiringhelli, key player in the post-war reconstruction of Teatro alla Scala and a decisive figure in Arturo Toscanini’s return to Italy.

This meaningful moment of discussion laid the groundwork for a future and important collaboration. To ensure continuity and development of the “Ghiringhelli” project, a dedicated committee was set up, made up of Manuela Codazzi, Patrizia Biganzoli, Annamaria Baratelli and Silvana De Giuli.

The President then presented the 2026 program, outlining an even more ambitious calendar: as many as 18 events including concerts, cultural meetings and special events, confirming the association’s vitality and planning capacity. Among the main goals, support for the “After Us” project continues to stand out strongly, dedicated to young people with disabilities on a path of growth and independence.

Particular emphasis was given to the closing concert: an exciting gospel event featuring Sherrita Duran, well known for her collaboration with Zucchero Fornaciari, promising a season finale of great artistic and emotional impact.

The assembly ended in a calm and friendly atmosphere, with a moment dedicated to exchanging Easter greetings, a valuable opportunity to strengthen the human bonds that are the beating heart of the association.

A meeting that confirmed, once again, how ARTandCHARITY O.D.V. is a dynamic and steadily growing reality, able to unite culture and solidarity in a shared, participatory project.
