The Economy of Francesco will bring to life Restarting the Economy, the international event linked to the 2025 Jubilee and the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures: three days to pause, breathe, and start again, imagining an economy that frees and makes room for life’s breath.

However, the opposite is also true: it is because I love that I truly know, as I renounce prejudices and open myself to listening; and only because of this love do I feel called to act and to create change.
“To promote and organize initiatives and activities in the cultural and spiritual sphere, scientific research, interdisciplinary training, enterprise and innovation; to foster awareness and responsibility for an economic and entrepreneurial life under the aspect of integral human development; to encourage cultural, academic, publishing and entrepreneurial experiences and paths.”
