Fondazione Ranieri di Sorbello

It consists of the following positions: The Fondazione Ranieri di Sorbello pursues aims of public interest by encouraging knowledge of Italian cultural heritage with a special focus on the region of Umbria.

Its objectives focus first and foremost on the study of the entire artistic, librarial and document collections with ties to the noble family of the Marquises Ranieri Bourbon di Sorbello of Perugia.

In the months that followed, the Foundation was also recognized as a legal body under Italian law [...] The main mission set by the institution's Articles of Association was to encourage not only the study and diffusion of the life and works of Uguccione Ranieri di Sorbello, but also research projects on connected topics (e.g. local history and the Ranieri di Sorbello family history; relationships between Italy and the United States; the development of European integration and topics regarding literary, cultural and artistic events).

After filing and cataloguing the collections of historic and artistic assets over the years,[6] it made them available to scholars worldwide and in order to make them more widely known, it opened the stately mansion rooms to the public for exhibitions and conventions.

It continued along the lines of the previous institution's objectives, functions and activities, and inherited the historic and artistic purpose to conserve and enhance the tangible and intangible heritage of the Ranieri Bourbon di Sorbello family.

The FRS has continued to expand the Mission of the "Uguccione Ranieri di Sorbello Foundation" and is committed not only to conserving, protecting and enhancing the original family heritage, but also to activities of research, production and cultural diffusion.

[14] This organisation, in memory of Romeyne Robert (1878-1941) and his son Uguccione Ranieri di Sorbello (1906-1969) aims to create cultural bridges between the United States and Italy via studies and research on topics linked to the Humanities.
