The first Pirelli library was set up in 1928, when a subscription library with 800 books was made available to personnel who were members of the Dopolavoro Aziende Pirelli, the workers’ club. It was one of the first examples of a company promoting reading and the start of long tradition that Pirelli has continued to this day with company libraries in the Headquarters at Milano Bicocca, in the factory in Bollate and in the Industrial Centre in Settimo Torinese. But there is more, for the company has also been collecting scientific texts for over a century, and these now form part of the Scientific and Technical Library at the Pirelli Foundation. The panorama of Pirelli libraries ends with the Pirelli Foundation Library, which has books ranging from the history of the company to corporate communication.

The words that made Italy
From ‘Garibaldi’ to ‘Tricolore’, from ‘Donne’ (women and their role) to the ‘Costituzione’ (the Italian Constitution), from the Battle of ‘Caporetto’ to ‘Bicicletta’ (bicycle) . 160 years after the unification of Italy, Anna Pini selects and arranges alphabetically the most significant words we should always remember, not only to explain...
From ‘Garibaldi’ to ‘Tricolore’, from ‘Donne’ (women and their role) to the ‘Costituzione’ (the Italian Constitution), from the Battle of ‘Caporetto’ to ‘Bicicletta’ (bicycle) .
160 years after the unification of Italy, Anna Pini selects and arranges alphabetically the most significant words we should always remember, not only to explain a delicate and seemingly contradictory period such as World War Two to the younger generations, but also to keep in mind the defining moments that have made Italy the country it is today, from Garibaldi to our current times.
Le parole che hanno fatto l’Italia (The words that made Italy) is a glossary of images and words representing the Italian tricolour flag, narrating the places, objects, ideas and figures that are essential to the country's history. A celebration of partisan ideals, a frontal assault on fascist dictatorship, a place to collect all that lies between two extremes.

The Economics Festival in Trento
The 2022 edition of the Festival dell’Economia di Trento will be held in Trento from 2 to 5 June. The event is organised by the Autonomous Province of Trento and by the 24 ORE Group in collaboration with the University of Trento and the City of Trento, with a wide-ranging...
programme that will revolve around the main theme, which is After the Pandemic (And With a War in Progress), "ORDER AND DISORDER".
The Pirelli Foundation will be taking part with two events linked to the promotion of its corporate culture:
On 3 June at 5 p.m., at the Municipal Library in Trento, Antonio Calabrò, director of the Pirelli Foundation, together with Paolo Bricco, correspondent for Il Sole 24 Ore, will present the book Thinking Ahead: Pirelli, 150 Years of Industry, Innovation, and Culture. The new book, edited by the Pirelli Foundation and published by Marsilio, is a collective account of the most important technological innovations made by Pirelli from its foundation in 1872 through to the present day.
Also on 3 June, at 7.30 p.m., Maestro Salvatore Accardo and the Orchestra da Camera Italiana with the participation of Gile Bae, as solo pianist, will perform J.S. Bach's Piano Concerto no.1, Giuseppe Verdi's Quartet in E minor and 'Il Canto della Fabbrica', a work inspired by the sounds of the Pirelli Industrial Centre in Settimo Torinese, commissioned from the composer Francesco Fiore by the Pirelli Foundation in 2017.
