Descrizione
A tour exploring Adriano Olivetti's extraordinary vision of industry, which combined innovation, beauty, design, culture, care for workers and corporate social responsibility.
The visit begins with admission and a guided visit to the exhibition of the most iconic products from Olivetti's historic catalog over the years. From mechanics to computing to electronics: Camillo Olivetti's M1, Nizzoli's legendary and multi-award-winning LETTERA22, and then on to the fascinating adventure of electronics. The Elea by Mario Tchou, and the chance to touch the world's first PC. We will talk about these exceptional products, placing them in the historical and social context of the time and describing Adriano Olivetti's industrial-cultural vision – which was not always straightforward.
Next, we will make a stop at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ivrea, the Industrial City of the 20th Century, showcasing in its architecture the social and cultural project of the Community Movement, and the Ivrea that, led by the Olivetti Factory, became the ATHENS of the 1950s: the nursery school, the public housing, the futuristic light factories, the iconic Social Services building, all on Via Jervis, which Le Corbusier would describe as the most beautiful industrial street of the 20th century, with access to company and factory spaces.
