The Driver outlet in Noranco consists of spaces that combine the showroom with a technology gallery, a lounge area, and <strong>sales and assistance areas<\/strong>, as well as reception and entertainment services for customers, offering them a truly exclusive <strong>experience at the tyre dealer<\/strong>. The Driver operation in Switzerland is but the latest chapter in what has become a historical bond between Pirelli and its network of dealers. The &#8220;Long P&#8221; has always been an innovative and pioneering industrial company and the bond always needs to be reinforced by consolidating its relationship of trust and loyalty towards its sales network.<\/p>\n<p>It was to achieve this that, already in the <strong>1950s<\/strong>, it created <strong>advertising campaigns<\/strong>, signed by the most important artists of the time, that gave retailers innovative solutions to help them promote the company&#8217;s top products, such as the <strong>Cinturato<\/strong> and the N+R tyre with its casing in Nylon and Rayon. These campaigns continued in the 1970s with commercials on the <strong>Carosello<\/strong> television programme, in which a tyre dealer played the lead role: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionepirelli.org\/archivio-storico\/audiovisivi\/detail\/IT-PIRELLI-AV0001-000435\/la-parola-al-gommista-5.html?jsonVal=%7b%22jsonVal%22:%7b%22query%22:%22parola%20al%20gommista%22,%22startDate%22:%22%22,%22endDate%22:%22%22,%22fieldDate%22:%22dataNormal%22,%22_perPage%22:20%7d%7d&amp;attachmentMisc=undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">La parola al gommista<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionepirelli.org\/archivio-storico\/audiovisivi\/search\/result.html?query=Ti+cerco%2C+ti+filmo%2C+ti+premio&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ti cerco, ti filmo, ti premio<\/a>\u201d were the best-known television series between <strong>1972 <\/strong>and <strong>1974<\/strong>.<br \/>\nOn the publishing front, the <strong>first issue<\/strong> of <strong><em>Pi vendere<\/em><\/strong>, a magazine produced by Pirelli to assist Italian tyre dealers, came out in September <strong>1958<\/strong>.
