Milan Longevity Summit 2024

Lucio Rovati, Honorary President of the Fondazione Luigi Rovati and Scientific Director and CEO Rottapharm Biotech, will attend the Milan Longevity Summit 2024 on 27 March.

The Longevity Summit is an international scientific event that involves the city's main institutions and sees the participation of sixty of the most accredited scientists in the field, who will present the latest research on retarding the biological process of ageing.

During the meeting, Luicio Rovati explores the intrinsic connection between health, longevity and culture, delving into the role of art museums as places in which to cultivate and promote the well-being of visitors.

Through its activities, the Fondazione Luigi Rovati strives to realise this vision and promote social utility, making culture accessible and using it as a tool to improve the quality of life of individuals and society as a whole.

Alongside the social utility, the Foundation's aim is inclusion, which leads up to the relationship with different people and audiences. In this perspective, the Museum, together with the La Meridiana Cooperative, developed the Stare Bene Insieme project, which offers a museum tour designed for people with dementia and their caregivers. The initiative saw the development of access and visit routes to the museum spaces with different levels of difficulty and the creation of in-depth videos on the museum's collections, available on a dedicated platform.

The Museum becomes an open learning place, aspiring to break down barriers and create an inclusive experience. It is with this in mind that Museo Gentile was created, a synthesis of a whole series of projects specifically designed to welcome people with special needs, together with their family members, friends and caregivers, or independently through diversified experiences of enjoying the museum and works of art.

The Fondazione Luigi Rovati Art Museum is a place for emotions, learning and encounters, open to everyone without distinction.
