Pirelli’s Leopoldo Award Winner Named

The ceremony to announce the winner of the first edition of Pirelli’s Leopoldo Award came to a close yesterday. This initiative was promoted by the secondary school Istituto di Istruzione Superiore in Rome and named after the former chairman of the Pirelli Group, Leopoldo Pirelli, as part of the Festival of Excellence in recognition of the excellent work done by students.

The school’s third and fourth-year students participated in the event by writing either a general-topic essay or an essay on one of the following topics: economics, industry, technology, or the world of work.

The award, a €5,000 scholarship donated by the Pirelli Foundation, was won by Cristina Tavazzani, who wrote an essay entitled “Un incontro a metà strada” (“A meeting half way”). The essay told of the difficulties she had explaining to her grandfather how technology – and social networks in particular – has evolved and what it can be used for.

Alberto Pirelli, son of Leopoldo, was on hand to present the award to Cristina in front of the local authorities, the school’s management, faculty and students, and the students’ families.

The Pirelli Foundation’s participation in this initiative is yet another confirmation of Pirelli’s commitment to society and, in particular, of the company’s support for education, which has characterised the organisation since it was founded it 1872.
