The mission of the Foundation is to recover the historical and cultural traditions common to all the people of the Mediterranean bassin, using art and culture as a sign of unity and peace.
To encourage dialogue, research, and exchange between artists from different cultures.
The Foundation sponsors and produces events in the sectors of theatre, visual arts, music and poetry, and sponsors scientific, publishing and professional training activities.
In 1996, the Foundation founded the “Museo delle Trame Mediterranee” (Mediterranean Roots Museum) for the collection and display of objects of decorative art (fabrics, jewellery, ceramics, costume, archaeological findings, art installations, sculpture and paintings, etc.) from numerous Mediterranean nations in testimony of the fact that above and beyond differences in history, culture and religion, clear signs still remain of the common roots shared by all the nations in the Mediterranean basin.
The Foundation activity primarily concerns the relations with the south mediterranean areas.
That’s why the headquarters of the Orestiadi are located even at Tunis, at Dar Bach Hamba, an ancient building inside the downtown (the Medina), which hosts a permanent exhibition organised along the guidelines of the "Museo delle Trame del Mediterraneo" and frequent cultural activities.
