“There are images so powerful that they leave their mark on the memory until they become the symbol of epochs and historical moments. The work on the cover of Vanity Fair created by Francesco Vezzoli is one of these: that gash, that glimmer tells everything. The emergency and hope. Pain and desire for rebirth. His strength will go beyond these months and will remind us of the history of this period forever, "he says Simone Marchetti, director of Vanity Fair Italia.

eBay, one of the largest and most dynamic online marketplaces in the world, has decided to marry the project because it has always been committed to supporting the Italian community and supporting local SMEs. In the context of the Coronavirus emergency, the company's commitment has further intensified. eBay today supports several national realities engaged in the front line in the fight against Covid and is helping small and medium-sized enterprises to react to the crisis due to forced lockdown thanks to eCommerce.

"In such a difficult moment, eCommerce becomes a fundamental opportunity for both consumers and Italian companies that are suffering from the economic consequences of the emergency. eBay in Italy represents a community of over 35,000 professional sellers and more than 5 million active buyers and our goal is to support it and see it grow through tangible actions "he says Sara Cendaroni, eBay Head of Sales and Trading in Italy. "We are very proud to participate in this initiative promoted by Vanity Fair that combines art and social commitment in the sign of solidarity and support for national entrepreneurship".
