THE BARON MICHAEL TOSSIZZA FOUNDATION was founded in 1947 with the aim of maintaining Metsovo’s cultural heritage and sustaining its economic growth. Today, the Foundation works to achieve the same goals as in the past, adjusted to Metsovo’s modern needs and conditions. The foundation remains focused on the Tossizza Cheese Factory, the Ski Resort, the Metsovo Folk Art Museum, Aghios Nikolaos Monastery and the Student House in Athens for students from Epirus, as well as on more recent initiatives, such as the Children’s Library, the Museum of Evangelos Averoff- Tossizza. At the same time, it supports and participates in projects of general interest.
