Fondazione Agostino De Mari

Overview

Fondazione Agostino De Mari was established in 1991 as the successor to the Cassa di Risparmio di Savona. Luciano Pasquale holds the presidency. The foundation traces its roots to Bishop Agostino De Mari's 1840 initiative and the earlier Società d'incoraggiamento from 1834. The foundation allocates capital across natural resources, secondaries, and special situations. It supports projects in art, education, volunteering, and sport within the Savona territory. Holdings include Palazzo Monte di Pietà and the Museo della Ceramica di Savona collection. The organization belongs to ACRI, the national association of Italian banking foundations. It collaborates with the Province of Savona on development initiatives. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The foundation operates through direct ownership of local properties and collections rather than external fund commitments.
