Chiara Badano Foundation
The Chiara Badano Foundation Headquarters are located in Sassello (SV), and it was established, by the express will of the parents of Blessed Chiara “Luce”, Fausto Badano and Maria Teresa Caviglia, on February 18, 2011, registered by Notary Luisa Quaglino Rinaudo of Turin.
The Foundation was established with the purpose of preserving and maintaining Blessed Chiara Badano’s memory in an authentic, perennial and lively way, with particular reference to the spirituality of which she was a luminous sign, and with due regard to the ideals and purposes pursued by the Work of Mary (Focolare Movement), made her own by Blessed Chiara “Luce” Badano herself, who inspired her earthly life to those ideals.
