Projects in Italy

Born as Costa Family Foundation ONLUS with an international vocation, the Foundation has undergone a profound evolution. Today it is Casa Costa Foundation ETS, and its focus has turned to the territories of South Tyrol and Tuscany, where the Costa family manages Hotel La Perla in Corvara and Hotel La Posta in Bagno Vignoni.

This choice stems from an awareness: the fragilities addressed in international projects exist here too, often invisible, and tourism — if reimagined — can become a tool for social and territorial regeneration.

Soil, Soul, Society: three pillars for a tourism that doesn't consume, but gives back.

• Soil: environmental sustainability and circular economy. Like the Cooking Class No Waste project with chef Simone Cantafio, where food surplus from the Michelin-starred restaurant La Stüa de Michil becomes a means to create training opportunities and meals for the Food Bank of Val Badia.
• Soul: preservation of the culture and stories of the territories. Giving voice to those who inhabit them, building bridges between guests and communities, as in the Mille Splendidi Fiori event, which brought the stories of Afghan women to local anti-violence centers.
• Society: social inclusion and dignity of work. Hospitality can also become an educational space, as in the pilot project Vegabula Summer Edition, which brings together school, community, and social enterprise.

Casa Costa Foundation ETS is today a laboratory of regenerative tourism: an open experiment working at the intersection of luxury and responsibility, family business and common good. A bridge between worlds, where human dignity always remains at the center.
