    The paper examines how the identity of a cultural institution is deeply connected with its territory and how both must adapt to contemporary socio-economic challenges. In this context, digital innovation emerges as a strategic lever for institutional transformation, reshaping identities, expanding outreach, and developing new models of engagement and accessibility. The case study of Ugo and Olga Levi Foundation, located in Venice, exemplifies how the ongoing digital transformation process is reshaping the institution's identity, generating both internal and external impacts. Historically, Palazzo Giustinian Lolin was a cultural hub thanks to its central location and the work of the Levi couple, who transformed their residence into a salon for music, art, and culture. After their death, it became the seat of the Ugo and Olga Levi Foundation, hosting events and research activities. Today, in a context of mass tourism and globalization, the Foundation seeks to maintain its territorial connection while pursuing new forms of cultural accessibility through the implementation of the LeviDigiLab, its digitization laboratory. The findings indicate that the digitization process has the potential to reshape the Foundation's identity, acting as a driver of its cultural and social regeneration. While this case reflects how one institution responds to its unique local conditions, further research is required to assess how such dynamics manifest in other urban contexts.
