About

At a pivotal moment in history, when humanity is facing unprecedented and vital challenges — including the crossing of seven of the nine planetary boundaries, growing geopolitical tensions, major technological and ecological transitions, the exhaustion of existing systems, and an increasing loss of reference points accompanied by rising eco-anxiety — the SUMus VENEZIA Foundation aims to help bring forth and nurture a new societal model rooted in the Living world.

This model seeks to respond concretely to these challenges and contribute to building a fulfilling future for the younger generations on planet Earth.

The Foundation believes strongly in the value of experimentation.
Living environments — villages and cities — represent the most appropriate scale for developing new alternative ways of living, whether in education, agriculture, work, or community life.

The Foundation has chosen Venice as the pilot city for this new paradigm. For more than a millennium, Venice has often been a pioneer in many domains — political, economic, and artistic — and it has the potential to become so once again today.

The city has long embodied values of openness, tolerance, and peace, which are more essential today than ever. Both fragile and powerful, Venice is emblematic and legitimate in carrying a universal model in which human beings and nature interact consciously and harmoniously — a model capable of inspiring other cities around the world, particularly in Europe.

The principal ally of this new model is the Living world — the higher intelligence that governs everything that carries life: human beings, animals, soil, plants, and ecosystems.

The ambition is to bridge past and future, materiality and spirituality, enabling both individual flourishing and economic development while restoring the natural ecosystems that sustain life. By drawing inspiration from the Living world — this “natural intelligence,” an infinite source of innovation and power — it becomes possible to imagine and build a regenerative and harmonious future.
