The creator and manager of the “Ecological Closet” exhibition is Francesca Bonotto, a professor in IUSVE’s Creation and Fashion Lab. Her interest in environmental sustainability stems from an engaged couples course she attended with her husband, Federico Gottardo, at a retreat center run by the Conventual Franciscans in Camposampiero. Francesca’s husband runs the IUSVE student activity center and is the coordinator of the exhibit. Encountering the Franciscan spirit during their marriage preparation went beyond simple theory and was transformed into a style of life shared by the couple. “That course with Federico, who is very attentive to the well-being of the person and life-style”, Francesca explains, “made me more aware of nature and sparked in me a renewed interest in the production chain”.
