SUMMER 2010

Dear Friends,

n this summer issue of BF News, I am pleased to express my deepest appreciation to the generous donors who are listed in the following pages. Their support is vital to the future of the Bogliasco Foundation, and it is enormously gratifying to see this list growing longer each year. I would especially like to acknowledge and thank the members of our Board of Trustees for their valuable leadership, support, and dedication.

I am delighted to publicly express my gratitude to all the friends who help make our work possible at the Foundation. There is no better feeling than to know that so many of you support our mission to facilitate the efforts of gifted artists and humanists. The creative and scholarly work produced by our Fellows enriches us all, and, in the next issue of BF News, we look forward to highlighting their recent projects.

As we enjoy the warm days of summer, the staff at the Bogliasco Foundation is also preparing for an exceptionally busy fall season. Through our new online application system, more than 400 persons from 31 countries applied for fellowships in the 2010-2011 academic year, a clear indication that the Foundation's voice is being heard far and wide.

With best wishes,

James S. Harrison
President
