Canali and the family have always paid attention to charity.
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been working exclusively with the Foundation that was born in 2013,
A Foundation that could deal with a wide range of projects, not only locally in Italy, but abroad,
in a more structured, more targeted way, not only social but also research, medical, employment or training.
So, it was born, to make concrete, what had always been done by more people.
At the time I was working in Italian Retail
I had a radical change, especially because I started a job that I did not really know much about,
apart from having an interest in everything social.
Of course, time has allowed me to better select both projects and foundations.
As a foundation we are primarily a provider and we support projects financially,
we collaborate with other ONLUS or non-profit organizations of social utility and work together through a partnership.
I submit the projects that I think are the most interesting, the most appropriate, to the Board of Directors
and we decide whether to support them and for how much.
I personally meet the foundations, I like to meet on site
because I believe that knowing, seeing where a foundation is, what it does, how it does it,
allows us to understand how a job is done.
Teamwork is fundamental.
I like human relationships, I like to open up to people, to make them open up to me.
In the store, I learned that first you must listen, never impose but accept everyone's advice.
I am a realistic and pragmatic person who speaks little and does a lot.
Behind words there can be a lot, or there can be nothing.
In the end, you either do or do not do, you either see or do not see.
My father was and is a great teacher, because of his empathy, and his way of doing,
he transmits values that are the cornerstone of everything that is in our DNA.
He has good manners, he can make you feel comfortable.
He is a person who really has incredible empathy, he is a great example of how to live
