Study and wide-ranging research of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and onco-dermatological diseases are at the basis of Natalino Corazza Foundation. Created in July 2014, the Foundation is based in Bologna but it is operating nationally and internationally.
The Foundation is entitled to Natalino Corazza and it was established by the will of Maria and Valeria Corazza, his wife and daughter.
Natalino Corazza was a brilliant entrepreneur in the field of automatic packaging machines and thanks to this activity, he stood out worldwide.
Research on psoriasis and its complications is the main mission of the foundation, motivated by the fact that the disease affected the entire life of Natalino Corazza and other members of his family, forcing them to constant and continuous treatments, sometimes painful, sometimes ineffective. Unfortunately these treatments have too often caused relevant side effects, such as:
- actinic keratosis because of phototherapy, tumors and lesions that require to be removed by laser, by liquid nitrogen or by surgery
- photosensitivity and depression, liver failure and alopecia caused by immunosuppressive drug treatments.
Maria passed away in June 2015, but Valeria Corazza is continuing her commitment to ensure the seriousness of the Foundation by providing all the necessary resources in order to create the proper conditions allowing it to grow and to achieve significant results through the establishment and funding of scholarship and laboratories dedicated to research.
