As such, learning as much as we can from Olivetti&#8217;s experience \u2013 through objects, images, texts, and the impressions gathered by Adriano Olivetti&#8217;s work, life and company \u2013 it&#8217;s a very useful undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>This is also why reading the series of books dedicated to <em>Olivetti e la cultura dell&#8217;impresa responsabile <\/em>(<em>Olivetti and responsible corporate culture<\/em>), is both interesting and significant. So much so that the town council of Ivrea has decided to \u2018translate\u2019 them into a number of exhibitions and publications (a lengthy, complex effort made possible thanks to the collaboration with the Olivetti Historical Archive Association, Olivetti\/TIM and the Garda di Ivrea Municipal Museum).<\/p>\n<p>They all revolve around the artworks collected by Olivetti, now made available to the general public. A wealth of cultural heritage that includes artworks, documents, footage and photographs commissioned by the Olivetti society, and which asserts the value of culture as a factor in society&#8217;s growth \u2013 from factory to territory.<\/p>\n<p>The recently published second volume (out of six), concerns the collaboration between Olivetti and Belgian artist Folon, selected as the emblematic example of the kind of relationship the company builds with contemporary artists. In 1969, Folon illustrated the first desk diary for Olivetti, as well as two gift books in the 1970s and then a calendar. He worked a long time for the company, focused on its graphics and design, and created the graphic artwork for its posters, gifts, gadgets, and advertising campaigns. An important alliance between enterprise and artist, which in this book (and at the exhibition in Ivrea) finds its perfect expression through colours, concepts, innovative graphics and challenging images.<\/p>\n<p>This volume, focused on the relationship between Olivetti and Folon follows another one \u2013 part of the same initiative \u2013 that showcases the Olivetti Collection&#8217;s artworks, a collection that attempted to concretise and actualise the notion of beauty, a notion that should always exist in factories and offices.<\/p>\n<p>Adriano Olivetti, the volumes&#8217; preambles explain, thought that knowledge, beauty \u2013 or \u201cgrace\u201d, in one word \u2013 should always accompany the days and hours of all the human beings that surrounded him, of all those people he met in the factories and around the world. Olivetti, in other words, believed he had to give back as \u201cgrace\u201d what he was given by fate, and to those who asked him what the opposite of sin was, he replied, without hesitation, that it was not \u201cvirtue\u201d but \u201cgrace\u201d. He thought that generating beauty was a duty.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the two books\u00a0 in this series dedicated to Olivetti and responsible corporate culture impeccably narrate this human and entrepreneurial adventure.<\/p><p><strong><em>Olivetti e la cultura dell\u2019impresa responsabile.
