#Dallapartedelfuturo. Fondazione Pirelli for Archivissima 25
As part of the new edition of Archivissima – the cultural festival entirely dedicated to promoting and celebrating historical archives, held this year from June 5 to 8, 2025 – the students of the Istituto Comprensivo Paganelli in Cinisello Balsamo (Milan) explored the rich photographic collection preserved in the Pirelli Historical Archive: thousands of shots, including glass plates, slides, paper prints, and digital photos that tell over a century of history, from the early 1900s to the present day. Through the analysis of these precious visual testimonies, the students retraced significant moments in the company’s history and our country’s past, including changes in customs, urban transformations, and new ways of moving and traveling.
A journey through time made of innovation, passion, and key moments. Looking at the past is also a way to open up to the future: starting from the photographs, the students imagined possible futures — already written, visionary, or yet to be built — giving voice to the images with creativity. An exercise in memory and imagination, where the past becomes fertile ground to reinvent tomorrow.
