The Alliance for the Golden Years stems fromthe Ravasi Garzanti Foundation’scommitment to building a new urban welfare system dedicated to longevity. It is a civic and generative pact that goes beyond a simple welfare program, transforming vulnerability and needs into opportunities for community, solidarity, and social innovation.
Studying longevity is essential for understanding and addressing the demographic and social transformations currently underway. Our research analyzes these phenomena to provide useful tools for institutions, communities, and local areas.
Since 2020, we have been developing a publishing catalog that includes titles such as Better at Home?, Silver & Longevity Economy , and Media Analysis, developed in collaboration with universities and research centers.
For us, research is not just analysis, but a driving force for direction: it defines the frameworks within which services, programs, and new visions take shape—ones capable of translating into concrete actions.
We are living longer, less predictable lives, which require new ways of finding our bearings and rethinking our choices. Longevity isn’t just about old age; it spans all stages of life.
At the same time, the coexistence of multiple generations is changing the way we experience relationships, making them more open and reciprocal. In this context, research helps us make sense of the present and chart new paths for the future.
Longevity is a transformation that affects society as a whole. That is why our research is collaborative and interdisciplinary: it involves universities, institutions, and local organizations.
The goal is to generate useful knowledge that can guide policy, improve quality of life, and lead to new approaches to care.
Sofia is the library of the Ravasi Garzanti Foundation: a space dedicated to gathering and disseminating knowledge on the topics of longevity, care, and social change.
Created as a a tribute to Sofia Ravasi Garzanti, it is an open space where research, culture, and experience come together. Here you’ll find publications, in-depth analyses, and opportunities to connect designed to foster dialogue across generations and fields of knowledge.
More than just an archive, Sofia is an active space that helps build a new culture of longevity by making ideas and tools accessible that are useful for understanding and navigating change.
