The Foundation is proud to announce the 2021 winners of its Garibaldi Award. This year we decided to give the award to juniors of significant accomplishments. In this way, these students would have an additional year of high school to work with the Foundation on its various programs, the principal one being the effort to safeguard the environment of Venice, Italy – on which the Foundation has alredy had a deep and successful involvement.

Winners photographs and school identifications appear below:
