Italcementi

In Palermo a meeting hold by Italcementi about the great Finnish architect .

Since its establishment, Italcementi has devoted great attention and interest to the research world and the civil engineering and architectonic planning ones. That is witnessed by the deep links with the Politecnico of Milan, and the collaboration with other Universities all over the world, the close collaboration with engineers' and architects' practices on occasion of building of the most complex and meaningful works. Within this frame the company presided over by the Engineer Giampiero Pesenti has established the "Incontri Millennium", a program directed to foster acknowledgments and reflection about the work of the main protagonists of the contemporaneous architecture. Among those it could not certainly lack Alvar Aalto, the architect that the most has drawn objects, architectures, towns that first belonged to inhabitants, to men, and then to the author. Alvar Aalto, on the other side, belongs to that great European tradition always looking at the Mediterranean Sea, and especially at Italy, as an inspiring place for planning. And just the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Palermo, has been chosen as the place to celebrate this real artist. In the beautiful frame of Palazzo Steri it has been hold the Meeting entitled: "Reconstructing the beautiful in the next millennium towns. The mark of Alvar Aalto". As masterly highlighted by the director of Ottagono, Aldo Colonetti, "Town is the basic place for memory and for the desire of new planned adventures. The main philosophers, lets' think to Plato, but mainly architects, town planners, designers have always dreamed to establish the ideal town. Contributing to turn our towns more liveable and beautiful is a duty of all those who play a role in the building sector as well as in town management and administration".

Surely a determining role in putting in act these concepts is played by the quality and innovation in products. That's why the Group of Bergamo devotes since ever his attention to the research, not by itself but aimed to offer a product fully meeting the needs of customers.
