Featuring exclusive performances from Kelly Rowland, Nicole Sherzinger, Jasmine Thompson, Tom Odell, Vinai and Dragonette, the LUISAVIAROMA Gala Dinner and Party on the 9th January in the classically beautiful Florence, Italy, was a night to remember. The Firenze4Ever 14th edition was an event full of art, fashion and music, and all for a worthy cause: Andrea Bocelli Foundation.

During the event, which was attended by world-famous and iconic musicians, artists and friends of LUISAVIAROMA (including Clean Bandit, Roisin Murphy, Mia Moretti, Lindsay Lohan and Gaia Weiss – just to name a few), Simon De Pury auctioned contemporary artwork from Bosco Sodi, Chiharu Shota, Giovanni Manfredini, Gualtiero Vanelli & Jak Espi, Maddalena Ambrosio, Mathieu Pernot, Massimo Vitali, Maurizio Donzelli, Valay Shende, to raise money for the important work the Foundation does.

The Andrea Bocelli Foundation itself, which was launched to give back some of the kindness and generosity that the Bocelli family had experienced in their round-the-world travels, aims to create an institution that turns ideas into concrete help for those in need, this time for the rebuilding of schools in Haiti after the affects of Hurricane Matthew.
