F.FRI is located in the heart of the Fashion Valley of Emilia Romagna, a region that has managed to carve out a key role for itself among the country’s industrial realities in the food and motor sectors, but less known for being the cradle of important international clothing and footwear brands and of historical archives unique in the world.
F.FRI puts a great deal of effort into giving value to the territory, the excellences that makes its entrepreneurial and cultural system and the new talents called to write its future.

Roveri Smart Village
F.FRI was among the first signatories of Roveri Smart Village, a joint project by ENEA and Confindustria Emilia with the involvement of the San Vitale District, the Municipality of Bologna, the Metropolitan City of Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna Region to accompany and support the transformation of the industrial area towards environmental, social and energy sustainability.
The architectural restoration of the building in via del Fonditore was in fact conceived to relaunch not only a disused building, but the entire neighbourhood, through new projects, events and activities.
Fashion
Photography
Archive
Aiming to safeguard the creative legacy and know-how of the manufacturers spread around the Fashion Valley, F.FRI curates the Fashion Photography Archive project: a digital collection of fashion advertising campaigns, look books and catalogues that reconstruct the history for images of the big fashion brands based in Emilia Romagna.
Circular
Culture
In the context of the long collaboration that binds it to the University of Bologna, in 2021 F.FRI launched this knowledge sharing project to support the education of university students. 30 scholarships were offered to as many students from the Rimini Campus, selected on the basis of merit, to attend the Foundation’s training courses free of charge focused on sustainability, digitalisation and valorisation of companies’ heritage. Thanks to the collaboration with ZoneModa – University of Bologna, all project participants are also awarded a bonus point on their graduation grade.
