The Faces of the Company on Display at Settimo Torinese

Workers, engineers, managers, and researchers are the stars of the company’s efforts. People who create, sell and innovate in order to manufacture the products of today and tomorrow.

It is to them that the photography exhibit ‘Workers’ is dedicated. The exhibit was organised by the Pirelli Foundation and depicts the entrepreneurial and technological soul of Pirelli’s Settimo Torinese facilities through the faces of the men and women who work there. Seventy faces will be on display from 12 September to 10 October at La Giardinera, Settimo Torinese, faces that show intelligence, energy and skill, as well as pride in the good work they do for Pirelli.
