Abstract

This chapter is focussed on the present situation of the said foundation, in which the original message is still alive. Conducting field observations and interviews with some key witnesses, Elena Laurenzi describes the estate and the manor house in which the Le Costantine foundation is located. It shows the attention given by the founders to the Steinerian principles of balancing fullness and emptiness, and their openness towards the guests, materialised in the structure of the house. Today the foundation has textile workshops which combine tradition and innovation, production and research. It also produces biodynamic products, offers courses to the population and provides education for children, mainly from refugee minorities. The principles behind the organisation of the activities succeed in combining profit-making with the common good.
