On Saturday, October 14, 2017, San Francisco’s Museo Italo Americano hosted a fundraising event organized by Isabella Weiss di Valbranca and Valentina Consolo, co-chairs of the Giovani section of the Leonardo Da Vinci Society of San Francisco. 

The fires that devastated the wine areas of Sonoma and Napa, and are still burning causing death and destruction, have been one of the worst catastrophes of this kind in the last decades. Maybe the worst of all time. That is why the Leonardo Da Vinci Society thought it was right to put its efforts into trying to help, to give a hand to the people who are struggling and lost their homes and businesses.
