Today, January 30, 2026, was a day filled with emotion for many people, but especially for Carlo Alberto and me, as we commemorated the thirtieth anniversary of the passing into Heaven of my grandfather Riccardo Mantovani, to whom, together with my dear mother Marina Mantovani, our family foundation is dedicated.
Days, months, and years pass inexorably in which we are no longer fortunate enough to have them physically by our side, but all their teachings and their immense love for life and for the people we have met continue to be held in our hearts and give us the strength to continue walking the paths they began in the world, trying to embrace as many people as possible along the way!
I personally thank the many people who attended the Gala Dinner and the Fundraiser. I thank Carlo Alberto and the many others who showed affection, admiration, and gratitude in remembering Riccardo Mantovani. Your testimonies about my family deeply moved me and gave me the strength to never give up and continue to grow the Riccardo and Marina Mantovani Foundation worldwide.
