Estetica e tecnica al passo con la moda<\/span>\u201d (Heart of rubber. Beauty and technique in step with fashion) organised by the Pirelli Foundation, which was inaugurated on 20 June at the Triennale di Milano. The exhibit encapsulates the history and the future of Pirelli in the world of fashion, with a constant eye on technology and innovation, both of which underlie Pirelli PZero industrial design. It is presented in an innovative manner, in tune with the evolution of language and contemporary symbols.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Pirelli chairman Marco Tronchetti Presenti, also in attendance for the inauguration of the exhibit (running from 21 June to 24 July, entrance free of charge) were Triennale chairman Davide Rampello, the art historian Germano Celant, and the architect Alessandro Mendini, who came across one of his own works at the exhibit, one which he did during his university studies when he occasionally worked for Rivista Pirelli under the illustrious editor at that time, Arrigo Castellani.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>What we see here at the Triennale is not to be considered a work of mere patronage, but a concept of growth in enterprise together with the cultural organisations. Technology cannot grow if it fails to find the proper cultural setting,<\/i>\u201d said Marco Tronchetti Provera at the end of the press conference for the exhibit, during which there was also a video-interview of Umberto Eco, director of the Pirelli Foundation, conducted by Antonio Calabr\u00f2. About the exhibit, Umberto Eco said, \u201c<i>In this wholly intangible exhibit, one made of images, history and interpretation, we see not the portrait of fashion, but a portrait of the image of fashion. And in that we see the novelty in this presentation. [\u2026] As we have already said, there are no objects, just representations, so as to shift our focus from the tangible aspect of fashion to the level of dreams. Indeed, fashion evokes and produces dreams, especially now<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 2,000 people attended the event, which reiterated just how much Pirelli\u2019s history has been closely tied to Italian culture, society and the arts. And of course to technology, which, in its most innovative form, takes on shape and substance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThere can be no technological development and innovation if the ground under an organisation is not fertile.\u201d It was with these words that Marco Tronchetti Provera, chairman of Pirelli and of the Pirelli Foundation, presented the exhibit \u201cL\u2019anima di gomma.
