De Liberali Foundation
A Trust for Partnership, Heritage, and Growth
Building structures of integrity, presence, and mutual support
built on values and roots that reach from the Dolomites to Hampshire and beyond.
Our Mission
The De Liberali Foundation is a trust dedicated to advancing partnership, stewardship, and growth across family, business, and Alpine communities. We support De Liberali family members, enable strategic partnerships for mountain territories, and embody our commitment to integrity, presence, and authentic leadership.
Founded on the values of the De Liberali family heritage—rooted in the Veneto region, particularly the provinces of Treviso, Venice, and Padova. The family heritage is tied to the Belluno Dolomites and the broader Venetian Alpine territory, with centuries of connection to its mountains, communities, and craft traditions. For centuries, the Foundation has extended those principles forward: building partnerships over transactions, embedding presence over remote advising, choosing adventure over comfort, and fostering growth through discomfort.
Core Values
Partnerships Over Transactions
We build lasting relationships rooted in trust, mutual benefit, and shared values—not one-off deals.
Presence Over Performance
We are fully engaged, authentic, and accountable—showing up as whole people in our commitments.
Adventure Over Comfort
We embrace challenge, complexity, and uncertainty as paths to innovation and meaning.
Embedding Over Advising
We work alongside our partners, learning and building together—not imposing solutions from outside.
Growth Through Discomfort
We believe real development happens when we push beyond our known edges and stay curious.
Stewardship & Legacy
We honour family heritage, protect future generations, and care for the territories and communities we serve.
