To describe Andreina Rocca Bassetti we need to look no further than the reasoning that led the Municipality of Milan to award her the Ambrogino d’Oro honor in 2018:

“A profound civic spirit animates her life. Over the years she has generously supported many associations involved in culture, art and social issues.
In 1994 she was among the founders of the Giannino Bassetti Foundation for responsible innovation in techno-sciences, finance and business and today she is honorary president of the Amici del Fai Association.
Her commitment to the care of the city’s heritage found its pinnacle while promoting the restoration of the Church of San Carlo al Lazzaretto. Her support for the Castello Sforzesco and the Applied Arts collection is constant, through donations from the Friends of the Achille Bertarelli Print Collection Association.
Coming into contact with the rural community of Quimili Paso in Argentina she promoted its development with the Sumampa Project aimed at spreading the artisan traditions of an ancient population throughout the world.”
