Our role

The Fitzcarraldo Foundation was involved in accompanying the birth of the first case of PSPP (Public Sector Permanent Partnership) in Italy, in accordance with the provisions of the former Article 151 of the procurement code. In particular, the Fitzcarraldo Foundation supported the parties in defining the contents of the partnership and in drafting it.

Fondazione Fitzcarraldo was responsible for constructing the Public-Private Special Partnership (PSPP) is a new institution provided for by the Code of Public Contracts (Article 151, paragraph 3) that allows the establishment of an equal alliance between the public administration, the private sector and cultural organisations for the enhancement of a cultural asset. The PSPP is the means by which procedures are simplified, and a different vision is put in place for the management of public heritage and the sourcing of funding: – entrusted, in the case of the Carmine Monastery, to TTB. In the project design perspective, the alliance with the municipal administration is valued, along with leveraging one’s relational capital and harnessing Tascabile’s ability to attract private interest. The concession (lasting twenty years, and renewable for another twenty) is aimed at achieving the revitalisation of the entire Carmine complex, through a process in which the public and private partners pursue the same goal in their respective roles.
