area. It in<strong>di</strong>cates the priority fields of the<br />

in the Multi-annual planning guidelines, can be<br />
subject to slight changes when strategic<br />
guidelines are defined.<br />

For each term of office of the Consiglio (four<br />

objectives as well as the programmes and<br />

aimed at fulfilling the objectives consistent with<br />
the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s mission.<br />
Having a multi-year character, programmes can<br />
develop a cross-sector approach, integrating<br />
<strong>di</strong>rectly managed initiatives, through project<br />
fun<strong>di</strong>ng and institutional contributions to<br />
external bo<strong>di</strong>es’ activities, also through calls for<br />
proposals.<br />
The Company has so far approved the Museum<br />

intervention of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> to perform its<br />
tasks. Projects can be designed within the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> or presented by external actors.<br />
Projects and initiatives include support to predesign<br />
