The Venice SMS campaign is back
The campaign to raise funds to finance city restoration works and the promotional campaign have been presented to the mayor Massimo Cacciari by the event organiser Fran Tomasi
A high impact marketing campaign has been launched to publicise the new edition of the project, which has met with widespread satisfaction regarding the participation and support from the major institutions and trade associations of Venice. And so yet again this year Venice will be transformed into a dynamic, vibrant city, venue to impressive concerts and famous artists, thanks to the numerous events which will involve many of the city areas, throughout the year. To aid the donation procedure, this year will also see the set-up of a Freephone number supplied by the Italian Postal services, thanks to which a free number will be available to those wishing to make a set donation. A new web site has also been set up, updated constantly with main news items, from which donations can be made by credit card. The fund raising campaign was launched on Thursday 26 February 2009 at the Theatre La Fenice, with a great charity concert, starring the wonderful voice of MADELEINE PEYROUX, the jazz pop artist now considered the new Billie Holiday.
