Style and Power

Pirelli has always been a trailblazer in visual communication and creativity. One iconic moment in advertising history was the striking image of the Olympic champion Carl Lewis at the starting blocks, wearing red high-heel shoes, photographed by Annie Leibovitz in 1994. However, even in its early years, Pirelli worked with famous artists, illustrators, and graphic designers, who helped shape what is now recognised as the “Pirelli style”. This visual journey takes us through the company’s finest and most iconic advertising campaigns, with a special focus on those highlighting Pirelli’s constant commitment to the world of sports. We will look at sketches, posters, brochures and newspaper inserts, as well as television and cinema commercials, all the way to modern digital campaigns that convey the essence of speed, passion, safety, teamwork, and performance. Divided into groups, the boys and girls will test their newfound knowledge through games and quizzes. Drawing inspiration from the Historical Archive, they will then be assisted as they create their own advertising campaign to show off the strong relationship between Pirelli and the values of the sports world.

The course will consist of four sessions and may be carried out entirely online or it may include a visit to the Pirelli Foundation, to be agreed upon subject to availability.

On The Roads of Innovation

Innovation is a key factor in the success of any company. Behind improvements in quality, efficiency, or added value, there are often bold ideas from individuals or teams, along with research and experimentation in new solutions. Throughout this course, students will explore the major innovations introduced by Pirelli during its 150-year history, using archive materials as a lens to understand this journey. From designing elegant and functional objects to experimenting with new materials, and from pioneering technological advancements to shaping new forms of communication, Pirelli’s impact is vast. We will pay particular attention to how Pirelli’s involvement in sports competitions, and especially motorsports like Formula 1, has been a driving force behind its research and development for new products and technologies, with an increasing emphasis on reducing environmental impact. At the end of the course, the participants will be divided into groups and tasked with designing and creating a digital narrative with key insights gleaned from their learning experience.

The course will consist of four sessions and may be carried out entirely online or it may include a visit to the Pirelli Foundation, to be agreed upon subject to availability.
