The creation of the Memorial Museum of the Polish II Corps/Information Center was a response to the rapidly vanishing knowledge about Poles’ contribution to the liberation of Italy during the Second World War. Its establishment was possible due to the initiative of the Association of Poles in Italy and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland. However, the Museum is not a sufficient response in itself. For this reason the Foundation is also active in a number of other areas. One project currently under development is an educational initiative for Italian schools, particularly in regions liberated partly or entirely by Poles. Other activities by the Foundation include supporting research and publications on the Polish II Corps and awarding research grants.

One of the most important projects run by the Foundation is producing biographical notes on Second World War Polish soldiers buried in the four Polish war cemeteries in Italy: Monte Cassino, Bologna, Loreto, and Casamassima.
