The main purpose of the Sergio Vacchi Foundation, recognized by Tuscany Region in 1998, is to locally promote cultural events capable of involving national and international artistic personalities.
According to its statute the Vacchi Foundation organizes exhibitions, concerts and plays, promotes and develops history of art studies, enlarges its own picture-gallery and publishes both critic essays and literary works on figurative arts.
Some of the Foundation’s buildings are used as lodgings, where foreign academics are hosted, and others as meeting rooms where seminars and Master’s classes in Painting and History of Art take place.
