Fondazione Claudio Buziol
In the footsteps of the professional and personal path of Mr. Claudio Buziol, founder of the Fashion Box - Replay group, whose business activities always stood out for their particular attention to charitable aid, the “Fondazione Claudio Buziol” was established in 2006 to pursue his projects in the areas of social welfare and healthcare, education and training.
The Foundation’s main aims are at a glance expressed through the project’s name, “Fast Forward”, a name that, playing with the same technical terminology which is behind the name “Replay”, indicates a particular attention towards the future/present, towards youth creativity.
More specifically, the Foundation - either giving direct support or through collaborations with other institutions - supports initiatives and projects that assist young people in their education and training in order to help them develop their creative abilities and artistic expression in any forms these may take, helping them to find a solid opportunity to bring a professional dream or life project to fruition.

MANIFESTA 7
Manifesta 7, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art will be hosted by the Trentino – South Tyrol Region from July 19 to November 2, 2008. For the first time it will take place in Italy and will stretch across an entire regional territory – one hundred and fifty kilometres of crossroads of different cultures and intersecting traditions, rich in historical monuments and in sites of industrial archeology. It involves four cities which together create a single connecting route along the Brenner axis between the north and south of Europe: Fortezza (Bressanone), ex-Alumix factory in Bolzano, the Palazzo delle Poste in Trento, Manifattura Tabacchi and ex-Peterlini factory in Rovereto.
