This is the beautiful project of Rinasciamo 4.0, Associazione di Promozione Sociale, born in Florence in 2020 as a collective of professionals from an idea by Costanza Menchi, university professor of Fashion Studies and Communication. In full lockdown, 12 videos dedicated to Florentine creative artisan realities were produced, with the contribution of the Department of Tourism and the Patronage of the Municipalities of Florence and Scandicci. The format is expanding with social projects in Tuscany and beyond and is strongly influenced by digital and sustainability, two key words of our present and our future. “Help us make the Oliveta a welcoming place for those who attend the Montedomini day centers, for fragile women, people with disabilities. Outdoors, together, they will be able to do craft work and take care of the plants: time in nature will make their days less lonely and sad” says Costanza Menchi, creator and soul of Rinasciamo.
