A commitment that comes from afar. Art4Life Movement was born from an idea of Marina Pizziolo and Romano Ravasio, founders of Art Consulting: not to separate work from life. Working with art is a privilege, because art brings you closer to beauty, to the heart of things. If you work with art you feel the need to share it. And sharing generates solidarity. Marina and Romano have never turned away from this truth. Raising funds through an art auction to build a school in India. Supporting the poorest girls and fighting racism, to keep alive the moral legacy of Nelson Mandela. Defending the right to inclusion because the mountains, like beauty, must not belong to the few. From 2009 to today, Art4Life’s solidarity has expressed itself in many ways and has brought distant people to work together.
Art4Life Movement. In 2026 all this takes an official form and the Art4Life Movement association is born. This is not a beginning, it is the recognition of something that has existed for fifteen years, built project after project, journey after journey, without delegating to anyone what could be done in person. The next steps are already mapped out: two inclusive crags at Courmayeur and Cortina, single-pitch routes designed to make rock accessible to everyone, regardless of disability. A replicable model, put forward for the UN SDG10 programmes of the United Nations for the reduction of inequalities.
Beauty as a shared privilege is not a slogan, it is a work in progress.
