Stories of Graphics and Design

Pirelli, a century and a half of corporate communication Going back over the most iconic advertising campaigns to investigate the intense, constant interaction between the company and the graphic artists and designers who helped create the distinctive Pirelli style. The workshop explores and retraces the development of Pirelli’s visual communication. From the artistic advertisements of the early twentieth century to the creations of the great names of Italian and international graphic design in the 1950s and 1960s, through to the global campaigns of the 1990s and the latest graphic productions. Images, videos, logos, slogans and new lettering but also objects produced by the Pirelli factories thanks to its highly qualified partnerships with the great masters of industrial design. The course will be held entirely online and will consist of one or more meetings, depending on the needs of the teachers and students.

Business in the Photographer’s Lens

Pirelli, a century and a half of corporate photography A workshop to investigate the close bond between photography and business by directly viewing the rich variety of photographic treasures at the Pirelli Foundation. Buildings, products, people, services, and events immortalised by photographers working at the turn of the twentieth century, such as Luca Comerio and Vincenzo Aragozzini, through to the great names of contemporary photography who have created the Pirelli Calendar, by way of masters such as Ugo Mulas, Federico Patellani, Aldo Ballo, and Arno Hammacher, whose works bear witness to the profound transformations of Italy in the post-war period. Reflecting on the relationship between documentation and artistic creation, the students will also be able to learn about the conservation, management and promotion criteria adopted by the Pirelli Foundation.   The course will be held entirely online and will consist of one or more meetings, depending on the needs of the teachers and students.
