In spring 2021 our partner Fontana Forni launched a solidarity campaign: for every oven sold a donation was to be made to the Italian Civil Protection (Protezione Civile). The company intended to support civil infrastructure in Italy during a challenging phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The campaign at a glance
• For every Fontana Forni oven sold a donation was planned for the Italian Civil Protection.
• The aim was to provide direct, unbureaucratic support to emergency services in Italy.
• This information refers to the announcement at the time of publication in March 2021.
Why the Italian Civil Protection?
The Italian Civil Protection coordinates emergency and disaster response measures, including logistical tasks in exceptional situations. During the pandemic the organisation took on particular importance — this is where Fontana Forni's donation idea came in.
About Fontana Forni
According to the company, Fontana Forni has manufactured wood-fired ovens for decades and is now run by the third generation. The products are distributed internationally, and in Germany among others through selected specialist dealers such as us.
What did this mean for customers?
Anyone who bought a Fontana Forni oven during the period in 2021 automatically supported the donation campaign, according to the announcement. Whether such a campaign is still in effect or has been relaunched can only be verified at present.
