Ottone the Lion

THE PROJECT

Ottone is the mascot of the tour operator “I viaggi di Ottone” a start up founded in 2021 that from the beginning desired to promote and be an active part of solidarity projects involving the city of Venice.

Everything started from a first collaboration as a clown doctor with the charity association Papa Renzo onlus, with the purpose of raising funds for the pediatric unit of the civil hospital of Venice. After this successful collaboration started the idea of raising funds for projects related to the city of Venice.

With the social channel venice_with_ottone the city is described through stories and cultural anecdotes in a unique and friendly way, directly explained by Ottone. The mission remains to engage people to support the solidarity effort, that is, to raise funds to reinvest in the city, to support and protect it, hoping to get through an impactful message for a new way of thinking about Venice.

The agency in licesing gave the non-profit organization the opportunity to create Ottone in peluchein order to raise funds in a completely transparent way. With the revenue from this special solidarity peluche, an important future perspective is created for tourism as well. Moving from the mass and frenetic flows considered hit and run, where in all these years they have only exploited our fragile city, a more constructive and less selfish tourist that improves the city and leaves something behind.

It’s easy to fall in love with Venice and you can do a few simple things to help!!!
