Premio Speciale EssilorLuxottica: Lucciole

Since 2022 EssilorLuxottica has supported the Fondazione Italia Patria della Bellezza by providing a visibility prize. EssilorLuxottica selects and promotes the most virtuous projects, creating an ad hoc campaign on the group's big screens.

EssilorLuxottica has selected “Lucciole“ as one the three winners in 2024. Fedora is an association founded in 2018 in Milan that promotes accessibility in the cultural sphere, with particular attention to people with sensory disabilities. The association aims to generate the prerequisites for a more accessible cultural life for all and everyone, and to educate society on a new approach to disability and accessibility, paying particular attention to childhood.

Among the ongoing projects, Lucciole intends to bring children between the ages of 6 and 11 in difficult situations - with a focus on boys and girls with disabilities - closer to the cultural places of the territories in which they live, through guided tours and workshops that give space and importance to the child as an individual capable of creation. The itineraries will also be enriched by the possibility of using tools to amplify the experience designed in collaboration with the MUBA - Children's Museum of Milan, as well as by the co-creation of a guidebook that encompasses the visit itineraries, stimulating the creativity of the participants and constituting a valid instrument of cultural participation for other children and families in the area.
