Art & Snouf

On the occasion of SNOUF – Fragrance Niche Event, a charity auction has been organized to support three important organizations:

• Unione Italiana dei Ciechi e degli Ipovedenti – Rimini Territorial Section, an important organization committed to protecting the rights, autonomy, and inclusion of blind and visually impaired people.

• UP Impresa Sociale, an organization dedicated to developing artistic, cultural, and educational initiatives in support of vulnerable individuals.

• Lega Italiana Fibrosi Cistica Romagna, an organisation that promotes practical initiatives to support patients and families affected by cystic fibrosis in Romagna.

The auction will feature two artworks created specifically for this initiative: one produced live during the event by the artist Filippo Manfroni, and the other by designer Maurizio Scilla, co-founder of 03 Studio LAB.

The auction began during the event, and bidding will remain open for 30 days following its closing date. Bids can be placed online, via the new Snouf app, or through written submissions.

If the reserve price has not been reached by the 30th day, the auction will reopen for an additional 30 days, starting again from the same reserve price.

The goal of the initiative is to raise funds in support of:

• projects dedicated to people with visual impairments
• projects to the development of artistic, cultural, and educational activities for vulnerable individuals
• projects to support families affected by the genetic condition cystic fibrosis
