In carrying out its tasks, the Foundation is guided by the principle of sustainable development according to the most recent definition recognized by the United Nations. The Foundation can operate independently or in collaboration with other public or private entities; in particular, the Foundation will maintain relations with the patriziati on whose properties the horizontal connection will run, in order to ensure proper and adequate collaboration. To achieve its goals, the Foundation can operate on its own funds or on funds from others, respecting the rights of third parties. The Foundation pursues public utility purposes, is non-profit and has an indefinite duration. The Foundation can also acquire, hold and sell real estate to be used as its own offices or spaces connected to its purpose.
