Participation in Innovazione Culturale represented a turning point for Artonauti. Participation in the Innovazione Culturale (Cultural Innovation) program marked a major turning point for Artonauti.

Innovazione Culturale was an opportunity to meet numerous professionals, operators, and stakeholders in the cultural sector.

These experts contributed to the development of the project in two ways. First, they helped our team understand the sector’s peculiarities. Second, they identified and resolved critical issues in our project.

The support phase was both intense and enriching: three months of training, workshops, and peer dialogue that pushed us to reflect deeply on every aspect of the project from Artonauti’s mission and strategic positioning, to the operational design of a more efficient and sustainable service. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Fondazione Fitzcarraldo and Make a Cube³ for curating and coordinating the support process,

and to Luigi Ferrara of George Brown College (Toronto) for his invaluable insights throughout the journey.

Most importantly, Innovazione Culturale welcomed us into a community of cultural innovators—entrepreneurs with whom we’ve exchanged ideas, strategies, and in many cases, forged friendships that led to unforgettable shared experiences, including the launch of Artonauti itself!

Artonauti is an initiative of WizArt S.r.l. Impresa Sociale. It is a project that was selected and funded by the fourth edition of Fondazione Cariplo‘s iC – Innovazione Culturale (Cultural Innovation) program.
