Fondazione Bracco

On Thursday 19 March 2026, a press conference was held at the Lombardy Region Press Room to present a research paper on the media coverage of sporting events  seen from a gender perspective. The study was promoted by the Bracco Foundation and the International Olympic Committee in collaboration with the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation.

On Wednesday 18 March 2026, the Bracco Foundation and Bracco, the company, took part in Wired Health 2026 at BASE Milano. Run by Wired Italia, the event is dedicated to innovations that are transforming the world of health and research.

The Bracco Foundation’s participation took the form of a project: “Art from Inside. Capolavori svelati tra arte e scienza” which showcases how imaging technologies can be applied to the study and preservation of works of art. This project is the result of a lengthy programme of interdisciplinary research that the Foundation has been pursuing for years in parallel with the Bracco Group, a world leader in imaging diagnostics. 

In addition to the screening of a series of video narratives dedicated to the exhibition, the Bracco Group contributed to the day's extensive programme of presentations. In particular, Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Isabella Castiglioni, who is also director of the Research, Development and Innovation Department at Centro Diagnostico Italiano, and scientific consultant for the exhibition, discussed the diagnostic analyses applied to the artworks and the discoveries they made possible. She highlighted how imaging technologies, traditionally employed in the medical field, serve as vital tools for the study, conservation, and promotion of artistic heritage.

 Wired Health provides a key platform for sharing a project that bridges art, science, and innovation. In participating at the event, the Bracco Foundation reaffirms its commitment to developing initiatives that leverage scientific technology to promote and preserve cultural heritage.

On Tuesday 10 March 2026 , at Palazzo Madama, seat of the Senate of the Italian Republic, the inauguration will take place of the photographic exhibition ‘Life as a Scientist. The faces of 100 high-achieving women”, part of the #100esperte project conceived and promoted by the Bracco Foundation.

On Friday 6 March at 10.30 pm in the Lloyd multipurpose hall of the Maritime Museum of Trieste, a press conference will take place for the presentation of “Mind the STEM Gap – Together”, a display of posters challenging gender stereotypes.

Palazzo Marino, a historic landmark of immense architectural significance in the heart of the city and seat of the municipal administration, is opening to the public for free guided tours on the first Sunday of every month from 1 March to 6 December 2026 (currently booked out) thanks to an important partnership between the Municipality of Milan and the Bracco Foundation.
