Gather Being’s very idea was born from a visionary intuition of its founder and CEO, Giovanni Bonaccorso: Create a community in which people, values and culture can meet authenticly. With a high profile financial training he managed to combine the concept of investment in all its size With investments: in finance, in Wellbeing, in culture, in experience and also in investments with philanthropic impact. Relevant moment of the event was his announcement at the Gather Being Festival of Collaboration with the prestigious The King’s Trust Foundation by His Majesty King Charles of England. Bonaccorso conceived Gather as an ecosystem of experiences, rather than an event, where real luxury is to return to feeling human. “Gather is an invitation to remember who we are, together”, He recently said. And in Selinunte, this invitation took shape and reality in the community.

Gather Being has not only organized an event: he created A time out of time, where people really met. Without filters, without masks.
