While presenting the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>’s Report <strong>2004</strong>, I would like to start by<br />
giving my thanks and best wishes to Onorato Castellino, my predecessor until last May. He guided<br />
the <strong>Compagnia</strong> over the last five years, de<strong>di</strong>cating his professionalism in his assiduous, passionate<br />
and intense work. I consider it a real privilege to succeed him, by pledging both my enthusiasm and<br />
conviction.<br />
As men of law, we are particularly aware of the needs of the community where we live and feel<br />
deeply about the responsibility of acting in its best interests. In fact, this is the role of the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
<strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> - originally founded as a “social justice” organisation in Turin, in 1563 - and still active<br />
in the ethics field of social responsibility. Since its “rebirth” in 1992, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has de<strong>di</strong>cated<br />
projects and investment to this field, with constantly increasing financial commitment which led it to<br />
achieve recognised importance today among the foundations, both at national and international<br />
level.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> we recorded the highest level of expen<strong>di</strong>ture ever - no less than € 119 million - and that is<br />
set to rise even more in 2005, with an overall expen<strong>di</strong>ture forecast of € 125.4 million.<br />
However, apart from numbers, which are always significant, and the activities, which are detailed in<br />
the following pages, I must stress the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has also witnessed an important growth in the<br />
quality of its activities and initiatives.<br />
4<br />
We have reinforced the aspect of a “non-profit group” aspect, which the <strong>Compagnia</strong> adopted<br />
through its permanent organisations, by cooperating and sharing methods and criteria of<br />
involvement. These methods and criteria are characterised by regularly applying for multi year<br />
programmes and calls for proposals and make up a truly innovative element within the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
policy of awar<strong>di</strong>ng funds. They satisfy the need to judge the overall value of its works and involve<br />
testing and using tools for design, selection and assessment needs. Programmes and calls for
Introduction<br />
Letter from the Chairman<br />
proposals represent then a practical method which goes beyond isolated in<strong>di</strong>vidual events. It<br />
provides a far more consistent effect for beneficiaries, by creating virtuous cycles and the prospect<br />
of becoming financially self-sufficient.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> clearly has its own culture and yardstick for measuring changes, demands and<br />
needs in order to shape its involvement and define its modus operan<strong>di</strong>.<br />
Its response therefore supports innovation, concentrating on scientific, economic and juri<strong>di</strong>cal<br />
research as levers for development both in Turin and the rest of the country.<br />
As an example, we could quote our contribution to initiatives such as the Research and Training<br />
Programme for “European Foreign and Security Policy Stu<strong>di</strong>es” and that of “Federico II University of<br />
Naples” in the fields of advanced teaching methods and light computerisation. Innovation is also<br />
however expressed in the artistic field thanks to participation in transforming the Turin Egyptian<br />
Museum into a foundation and as Italy’s first example of public and private co-operation in state<br />
museum management. Another project “Born to Read” is in the cultural field, and is for the benefit<br />
of Piedmont’s pre-school children, by supporting a child’s right to protection from, among other<br />
aspects, the lack of suitable affective and cognitive development. Other examples include, in<br />
health, the continuation of the “Oncology Programme” and in welfare, the promotion and financing<br />
of the “Bandolo” project, for people in <strong>di</strong>stress due to mental illnesses.<br />
5<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s main initiatives are described in this Report, but we want to make it clear that<br />
throughout these initiatives, our commitment to innovation represents the means to contribute to the<br />
community’s cultural and economic growth. We aim to produce and <strong>di</strong>sseminate a culture that<br />
transmits the values and ideals of justice and solidarity that are the basis of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Paolo</strong>’s original institutional mission.<br />

Glossary<br />
Here follows a glossary of the most recurrent terms pertaining to the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
operational methods, planning and <strong>report</strong>ing instruments.<br />
10<br />
Accountability:<br />
The foundation’s capability of being<br />
“accountable” (responsible) for its activities. In<br />
ad<strong>di</strong>tion to the information given to the public<br />
on allocations, accountability entails good<br />
practices – willingly agreed or following<br />
standards/codes of conduct – to guarantee fair<br />
relations with grantseekers/beneficiaries, the<br />
<strong>di</strong>sclosure of selection criteria and the<br />
assessment results of supported initiatives.<br />
The notion of accountability implies the<br />
identification of the subjects to whom the<br />
Foundation is accountable, ranging from the<br />
Foundation’s internal structure (Governing<br />
bo<strong>di</strong>es and staff) to grantseekers/beneficiaries,<br />
to supervisory authorities and the general<br />
public.<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> Report:<br />
It is the document the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has been<br />
drawing up and publishing since 1997, in<br />
Italian and English, in a printed version and on<br />
the website, presenting the annual Financial<br />
statement. The <strong>Annual</strong> Report includes a<br />
comprehensive list of grants and a <strong>di</strong>gest of the<br />
economic-financial trends of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>,<br />
with particular reference to its wealth<br />
management.<br />
Application form:<br />
It is the form to be filled in by grantseekers to<br />
submit their application. There is no standard<br />
form: in each foundation application forms may<br />
<strong>di</strong>ffer in format, underlying principles, degree<br />
of complexity. The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s application<br />
forms presently consist of two parts: the first<br />
(Applicant’s profile) must be filled in with all<br />
relevant information about the applicant; the<br />
second (Initiative’s profile) refers to information<br />
on the suggested initiative.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s application forms are<br />
available in their printed version and on the<br />
Internet (see the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s website:<br />
www.compagnia.torino.it). Calls for proposals<br />
have their own ad hoc application forms.<br />
Bilancio <strong>di</strong> Missione:<br />
it is a social communication tool allowing nonprofit<br />
organisations, like foundations, to<br />
account to their internal and external<br />
stakeholders for the activities set up during the<br />
year in order to pursue their “mission”. In the<br />
case of former banking foundations, the<br />
drafting criteria for the bilancio <strong>di</strong> missione are<br />
stated by the Guideline Deed of the Ministry of<br />
the Treasury on the 19th of April, 2001.<br />
Pursuant to the aforesaid provision, the bilancio<br />
<strong>di</strong> missione is the second chapter of the <strong>Annual</strong><br />
Report in the annual account section, therefore<br />
it is part and parcel of the latter.<br />
Call for proposals:<br />
It is a method of intervention by which the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> calls for external bo<strong>di</strong>es to submit<br />
proposals on priority topics in the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
view. The call for proposals, whose financial<br />
resources and deadline are fixed in advance,<br />
can have a national character or be limited to<br />
specific regions or areas.<br />
Usually, the ranking of proposals which were<br />
received and accepted is decided by a set of<br />
requisites.<br />
The outcome is the total or partial support of<br />
selected projects. Call for proposals are always<br />
published on the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s website<br />
(www.compagnia.torino.it).
Introduction<br />
Glossary<br />
Field of interest:<br />
It is a field of activity identified within each theme<br />
area. It in<strong>di</strong>cates the priority fields of the<br />
Foundation. The fields of interest, originally set<br />
in the Multi-annual planning guidelines, can be<br />
subject to slight changes when strategic<br />
guidelines are defined.<br />
Grant:<br />
It is a contribution awarded by a fun<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
foundation or any another subject to pursue<br />
institutional objectives.<br />
Multi-annual planning guidelines:<br />
It is the document drawn up by the Consiglio<br />
Generale of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> during the first year<br />
of its mandate.<br />
For each term of office of the Consiglio (four<br />
years), it outlines the strategies, priorities,<br />
objectives as well as the programmes and<br />
<strong>di</strong>rections accor<strong>di</strong>ng to the sectors and<br />
methods of intervention.<br />
Permanent organisations:<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> operates also through its<br />
permanent organisations, ie bo<strong>di</strong>es or<br />
institutions with a specific expertise and<br />
particular relevance on the territory.<br />
At present the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has six permanent<br />
organisations: the Foundation for Art; the<br />
Foundation for Schools; the Ufficio Pio (pious<br />
office); the Mario Boella Advanced Institute; the<br />
Collegio Carlo Alberto Foundation; SiTI - (Higher<br />
Institute for Territorial Systems for Innovation).<br />
Programmes:<br />
It is a coor<strong>di</strong>nated and integrated approach<br />
aimed at fulfilling the objectives consistent with<br />
the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s mission.<br />
Having a multi-year character, programmes can<br />
develop a cross-sector approach, integrating<br />
<strong>di</strong>rectly managed initiatives, through project<br />
fun<strong>di</strong>ng and institutional contributions to<br />
external bo<strong>di</strong>es’ activities, also through calls for<br />
proposals.<br />
The Company has so far approved the Museum<br />
Programme and the Oncology Programme.<br />
Project (or “Initiative”):<br />
It is the total, or partial, financial and (wherever<br />
possible and expe<strong>di</strong>ent) technical and<br />
organisational support to in<strong>di</strong>vidual projects<br />
and initiatives. It is one of the methods of<br />
intervention of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> to perform its<br />
tasks. Projects can be designed within the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> or presented by external actors.<br />
Projects and initiatives include support to predesign<br />
activities and experiments.<br />
11
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> privileges co-financing and<br />
fosters cooperation among grantseekers.<br />
Projects can be supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
also through calls for proposals.<br />
Rules for institutional activities:<br />
It is the document approved by the Consiglio<br />
Generale to regulate procedures and criteria to<br />
pursue its statutory objectives, mainly the<br />
resource allocation criteria with respect to<br />
institutional activities, the rules to plan,<br />
determine, manage and assess such activities,<br />
as well as their popularisation.<br />
Sectors:<br />
They comprise 6 areas, foreseen by article 3 of<br />
the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s Articles of Association (in<br />
force since March 2000), in which the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> endeavours to pursue “goals of<br />
social good, to foster civic, cultural and<br />
economic development”. The six sectors are:<br />
scientific, economic and juri<strong>di</strong>cal research;<br />
education; art; preservation and valorisation of<br />
cultural heritage and activities and of<br />
environmental assets; health; assistance to the<br />
socially deprived categories.<br />
Support to institutional activities:<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> can support the institutional<br />
activities (activities performed by a non profit<br />
organisation to pursue its social, cultural,<br />
scientific objectives) of a limited number of<br />
bo<strong>di</strong>es possessing particular influence and<br />
reputation in the sector and territory in which<br />
they operate. Or<strong>di</strong>nary administrative expenses<br />
are excluded from support to institutional<br />
activities.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s rules of procedure define the<br />
adequate maximum limits (absolute and<br />
relative), the monitoring and <strong>report</strong>ing<br />
requirements, the criteria for alternation that<br />
promote the search for self- sufficiency and<br />
comparison among the various supported<br />
organisations.<br />
Theme Area:<br />
While planning its activities, the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
defines as a theme area a priority field in the bulk<br />
of its activities. Within each theme priority fields<br />
of interest are then defined. Usually, theme<br />
areas have a strategic and multi-year character<br />
whereas fields of interest are subject to changes<br />
when <strong>Annual</strong> planning guidelines are drawn up.<br />
12<br />
Stakeholder:<br />
The term generally describes all those having<br />
an “interest” in the Foundation’s activities, from<br />
the staff to administrative bo<strong>di</strong>es, from<br />
grantseekers and beneficiaries to local actors<br />
and the general public.<br />
Strategic guidelines<br />
(or “<strong>Annual</strong> planning guidelines”):<br />
It is the document drawn up by the Consiglio<br />
Generale within the framework of the me<strong>di</strong>umterm<br />
objectives set by the Multi-annual planning<br />
guidelines, defining annual methods of<br />
intervention, with particular reference to new<br />
programmes and resource allocation.<br />
The Guidelines are available in their printed<br />
version and on the website.

The resources initially earmarked in the <strong>2004</strong> budget amounted to € 108.5 million, equivalent to the<br />
amount for institutional activities for 2003 (for a total of 685 initiatives). During the financial year<br />

During <strong>2004</strong>, 37 grants were approved for approximately € 7.9 million in the Scientific Research<br />
sector. The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s attention was principally concentrated on the activities of the centres of<br />
scientific and technological excellence and popularisation of science initiatives.<br />
Centres of scientific and technological excellence<br />
Four specific fields of interest have been identified in this area relating to: genetics and genomics;<br />
biotechnology and bioengineering; biome<strong>di</strong>cal research and information and communication<br />
technologies (ICT). In the field of genetics and genomics in <strong>2004</strong> the major commitment was that for<br />
the feasibility study for the constitution of a Higher European Inter<strong>di</strong>sciplinary Institute for Human<br />
Genetics (ISEIGU), having its headquarters in Turin. The objective of the project, promoted by the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> and by the University and Polytechnic of Turin, is that of achieving a critical mass of<br />
researchers within a single structure, to perform research of excellence in those subjects which use<br />
the results of human DNA sequencing. The cooperation between the three promoting bo<strong>di</strong>es is<br />
approved by a convention signed in April <strong>2004</strong> and implemented by the constitution of a Promotion<br />
Committee. The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has ensured a financial commitment for the setting up of the Institute of<br />
not less than € 20 million in the four-year period <strong>2004</strong>-2007.<br />
As regards the fields of interest of biotechnologies and bioengineering, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
confirmed its support to Institutes such as the Bioengineering Centre – Neuromuscular System and<br />
Motor Rehabilitation Laboratory (LISiN) of Turin, which originated from collaboration between Turin<br />
Polytechnic and the Consortium for Research and Continuing Education (COREP). In <strong>2004</strong> the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> co-financed a joint project of the European Space Agency and the Italian Space<br />
23
The I.S.I Foundation’s<br />
laboratories<br />
ISI Foundation - Institute for Scientific Interchange, Turin<br />
24<br />
The ISI Foundation of Turin was established in 1983 as an<br />
Association on the initiative of some University and<br />
Polytechnic teachers; in 1988 it became a Foundation, the<br />
foun<strong>di</strong>ng members are the Piedmont Region, the Province<br />
of Turin, the City of Turin and Cassa <strong>di</strong> Risparmio <strong>di</strong> Torino.<br />
Subsequently the Turin Chamber of Commerce entered the<br />
Foundation as external supporter. The institutional<br />
purposes of the Foundation are those of ensuring the<br />
collaboration of prestigious personalities of the world of<br />
science in Turin and Piedmont, creating stable and<br />
continuous relations with international experts and<br />
developing plans and initiatives agreed with the Region<br />
itself. In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> awarded a grant to the<br />
ISI Foundation for a total of € 1,300,000 for the<br />
implementation of three initiatives: the continuation of the<br />
project “gene-environment interaction”, the project “the<br />
computational challenge of problems with ties to complex<br />
biological systems” and the University 2nd level Master’s<br />
Degree programme in Epidemiology of the University of<br />
Turin and the ISI Foundation. The first initiative relates to<br />
the continuation of the study – initiated in 1999 and<br />
previously financed by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> from then to 2003 –<br />
on the genetic susceptibility to induction of <strong>di</strong>sease<br />
through environmental exposure such as passive smoking<br />
and exhaust gas pollution, in order to rationalise the<br />
primary prevention of tumours and other chronic <strong>di</strong>seases<br />
in Piedmont. The second project aims at reinforcing the<br />
group research activity already underway at the ISI<br />
Foundation in the field of computational techniques<br />
applied to life sciences, such as theoretical computing and<br />
statistical mechanics, biome<strong>di</strong>cal applications and virtual<br />
imaging (connected to the virtual colonoscopy project of<br />
the Can<strong>di</strong>olo Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment),<br />
computing and quantum computation, and neurosciences.<br />
The project principally deals with the developmental<br />
analysis of genes and families of genes, the improvement<br />
of methods and models, the pre<strong>di</strong>ction of the structure of<br />
proteins and the neurosciences, with the project on<br />
informatic–neurosciences, in co-operation with the<br />
European Brain Research Institute. The Master’s Degree in<br />
Epidemiology originated in the mid-1990s from the efforts<br />
of the Italian Epidemiology Association and became a 2nd<br />
Level University Masters Degree of the University of Turin<br />
in the years 2003-<strong>2004</strong>.<br />
The Master’s Degree, with a teaching programme of 1,500<br />
hours of study activities, is aimed at centres with research<br />
activities and operators in the National Health Service. It<br />
proposes to train a group of about fifteen professionals<br />
from the Italian Health Service on subjects connected to<br />
Epidemiology, by way of a two-year residential course and<br />
research activities with national and/or international<br />
institutes.
Institutional activities in <strong>2004</strong><br />
Scientific, economic and juri<strong>di</strong>cal research<br />
Agency (ASI) on the effects of the absence of gravitational force on the human body. Ad<strong>di</strong>tionally,<br />
support is accentuated for the Foundation for Biotechnologies, of which the <strong>Compagnia</strong> is a<br />
foun<strong>di</strong>ng member (see the specific box). In the field of Biome<strong>di</strong>cal Research in <strong>2004</strong> the most<br />
important grants related to support for the continuation of activities of the Sub-alpine Oncology-<br />
Haematology Centre (COES) as “model of application of translational research” and the financing<br />
to the ISI Foundation – Institute for Scientific Interchange for a European study of Gene-Environment<br />
Interaction and for a project of the computational aspect of complex biological systems (see the<br />
schedule de<strong>di</strong>cated to this). Again on the subject of Biome<strong>di</strong>cal Research, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
financed some important projects in the field of oncology (see the chapter on the “Oncology<br />
Programme”). The collaboration with the Telethon Foundation of Rome has continued for the<br />
support of the Dulbecco Telethon Institute for training the best Italian researchers (see the specific<br />
box). One of the fields in which the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has recorded the most significant results is that of<br />

Telethon Foundation - Rome<br />
The Telethon Foundation of Rome performs activities of<br />
biome<strong>di</strong>cal research on here<strong>di</strong>tary genetic <strong>di</strong>seases and<br />
technological research on aids for people struck down by<br />
motorial <strong>di</strong>sabilities; it conducts operative management of<br />
the research activities performed by the Telethon<br />
Institutions: Istituto <strong>di</strong> Genetica e Me<strong>di</strong>cina (TIGEM)<br />
(Institute of Genetics and Me<strong>di</strong>cine); Istituto HSR -<br />
Telethon <strong>di</strong> Terapia Genica (TIGET) (Genetic Therapy<br />
Telethon); Tecnothon, laboratory for technological aid for<br />
the <strong>di</strong>sabled; “Dulbecco Telethon Institute” (DTI). The latter<br />
has the purpose of creating a career route for independent<br />
researchers, chosen by virtue of the project “Telethon<br />
Careers”. During <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> gave a grant to<br />
Telethon Foundation and, in particular, the “Dulbecco<br />
Telethon Institute” of € 732,000 for the second year of the<br />
project “Identification and study of the interactions<br />
involved in the ontogenesis of here<strong>di</strong>tary <strong>di</strong>seases”.<br />
The initiative, aimed at the development of new <strong>di</strong>agnostic,<br />
preventive and therapeutic approaches, aims at completing<br />
and exten<strong>di</strong>ng research relating to the identification of the<br />
genes responsible for rare here<strong>di</strong>tary illnesses and the<br />
functional study of the genes involved. The project is set<br />
out in five sections which involve the following DTI<br />
laboratories: Genetic illnesses of the nervous system;<br />
Car<strong>di</strong>ac muscular system; skeletal muscular system;<br />
metabolism; biology of the stem cells. As of today’s date,<br />
also thanks to the financing <strong>di</strong>sbursed by the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
for the first year of the project, the researchers operating in<br />
the DTI laboratories have attained significant results. The<br />
various mechanisms involved in the illnesses subject to<br />
research have been stu<strong>di</strong>ed and it is planned to extend the<br />
methods of analysis previously perfected to further<br />
illnesses and to deal with two new stu<strong>di</strong>es on ontogenesis<br />
of spinal muscular atrophy and dominant optical atrophy.<br />

Biotechnology Foundation - Turin<br />
The term “biotechnology” defines the integrated use<br />
of biology, chemistry and engineering for the<br />
development of new products by way of living<br />
organisms, parts or products of these. Many<br />
techniques of molecular biology and genetic<br />
engineering are now widespread and consolidated.<br />
This has allowed the biotechnologies to become an<br />
innovative sector of development in many fields,<br />
from research and production of new me<strong>di</strong>cines to<br />
innovation in the agri-foodstuffs field, protection of<br />
the environment and cultural heritage.<br />
The Turin Biotechnology Foundation whose<br />
foun<strong>di</strong>ng members are Piedmont Region, Aosta<br />
Valley Region, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> and Fiat<br />
S.p.A., seeks to spread knowledge, stimulate<br />
training, support research in the biotechnology field<br />
for the sectors of health, agriculture, foodstuffs,<br />
protection and conservation of the environment and<br />
protection and conservation of cultural heritage. The<br />
Foundation pursues its objectives organising<br />
national and international conventions, residential<br />
training courses, seminars and conferences and<br />
promoting research and the circulation of both paper<br />
and multime<strong>di</strong>a publications.<br />
the Information and Communication<br />
Technologies, with the establishment of the<br />
Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (ISMB), in<br />
partnership with Turin Polytechnic (see the<br />
chapter on the permanent organisations).<br />
During <strong>2004</strong>, alongside the annual contribution<br />
to the activities of the ISMB, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> also<br />
awarded a significant grant for initiatives<br />
connected to ICT – Distretto Torino Wireless.<br />
From 1997 to today the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
supported the activity of the Foundation for<br />
Biotechnologies to the tune of over € 750,000,<br />
€ 150,000 of which in <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
Scientific <strong>di</strong>ssemination<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> gives particular attention to the<br />
popularisation of science topics. In <strong>2004</strong><br />
a substantial grant was awarded for the<br />
production of a second e<strong>di</strong>tion of the Genoa<br />
Science Festival, an exhibition which has by<br />
now become a reference point for <strong>di</strong>alogue on<br />
research, teaching and scientific information.<br />
Ad<strong>di</strong>tionally, support for consolidated initiatives<br />
aimed at the public at large is highlighted, such<br />
as Giovedì Scienza and the national Week of<br />
Scientific and technological Culture”, run by the<br />
Associazione Centro Scienza of Turin, by now<br />
well-established appointments to review new<br />
frontiers of science and technology, also<br />
through meetings and debates with researchers<br />
and scholars of international fame.
Institutional activities in <strong>2004</strong><br />
Scientific, economic and juri<strong>di</strong>cal research<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> financed other initiatives, such as those in favour of the Turin Me<strong>di</strong>cal<br />
Academy, for its conference and publication activities and those of the Turin Virtuality Organisation<br />
Committee for the annual international Conference on the virtual world and multime<strong>di</strong>a.<br />
Economic and juri<strong>di</strong>cal research<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> supported 86 initiatives in the field of Economic and Juri<strong>di</strong>cal Research (76<br />
in 2003), and awarded a grant of approximately € 10.5 million, compared to € 11.1 million in 2003.<br />
Economic and public policy stu<strong>di</strong>es<br />
The major event of <strong>2004</strong> can be considered the constitution – in partnership with the University of<br />
Turin – of the Collegio Carlo Alberto Foundation, one of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s permanent organisations<br />
which replaces the Consortium of the same name and which in the first few months of activities has<br />
started to equip itself to develop an independent capacity for scientific offering, widening and<br />
rationalising the functions available to the centres housed in the Carlo Alberto and adapting the<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng for the research and high-level training activities which will be performed there.<br />
SiTI - Istituto Superiore sui Sistemi Territoriali per l’Innovazione (Higher Institute for Territorial<br />
Systems for Innovation) – the other permanent organisation with inter<strong>di</strong>sciplinary character<br />
operating in the area of public policy – implemented during <strong>2004</strong>, inter alia, several territorial safety<br />
projects connected to urban development initiatives and improvements in artistic and<br />
environmental heritage; furthermore SiTI has assisted with the monitoring of projects supported by<br />
the <strong>Compagnia</strong>.<br />
Alongside support for the institutional activities of the Carlo Alberto Centres, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
promoted co-operation with other scientific counterparts on subjects of interest for matters<br />
connected to the future of the North West of Italy, social policy and European governance.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the Study and Research Association for Southern Italy of Naples, to which the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
is associated, reached its full working capacity; during the year projects were supported in<br />
industrial <strong>di</strong>stricts in Campania and on the dynamics of internationalisation of Southern Italy in cooperation<br />
with the IAI - Istituto Affari Internazionali.<br />
In the field of interest relating to immigration and citizens’ rights, in which the point of reference is<br />
represented by FIERI (International and European Forum for Research on Immigration) having its<br />
headquarters in Turin, focus was placed on the analysis and development of policy proposals on<br />
Turin and the future of the North-West of Italy<br />
27<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> gives particular attention to analysis and<br />
research activities on the development of the socialeconomic<br />
fabric of the North-West of Italy and primarily in<br />
the Turin metropolitan area. From this point of view, the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> supports the <strong>Annual</strong> Report on Turin promoted<br />
by Eau Vive and by the Giorgio Rota Committee. The Report,<br />
which has reached its fourth e<strong>di</strong>tion, seeks to sum up, also<br />
on the basis of a vast amount of statistical data, on the “state<br />
of health” of the city and outline scenarios for the near future.<br />
The Rota Committee furthermore produces research<br />
focussed on the real situation of Turin: recently it passed<br />
from the economic and demographical <strong>di</strong>mensions, with<br />
Numeri per Torino (Numbers for Turin) to the analysis of the<br />
con<strong>di</strong>tions necessary to continue Produrre a Torino<br />
(Produce in Turin). In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> provided a grant<br />
of € 210,000 for the Fifth and Sixth Reports. The<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> has supported the Torino Internazionale<br />
association since its inception. The association deals with<br />
the strategic plan for the city. In <strong>2004</strong> the grant was of<br />
€ 150,000. It has also continued the activities of the<br />
Observatory on the Future of the North West, with the<br />
support, inter alia, from the <strong>Compagnia</strong> (with an initial<br />
contribution of € 75,000 at the end of 2002, and a second<br />
grant of € 35,000 at the beginning of 2005).
these matters at a European level and the promotion of rights of immigrants and minorities (see<br />
also the specific box on these subjects). As regards the field of interest foundations and non-profit<br />
organisations, the principal initiatives related to the global <strong>di</strong>mension of civil society, analysis of the<br />
operative procedures of the foundations and documentation on philanthropy in Italy, with<br />
particular reference to the subject of donations.<br />
European integration and international relations<br />
In the field of international stu<strong>di</strong>es, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> contributes increasingly to activities of<br />
independent Italian centres of high renown (such as the IAI - Istituto Affari Internazionali of Rome<br />
and the ISPI - Istituto per gli Stu<strong>di</strong> <strong>di</strong> Politica Internazionale, of Milan) and of authoritative European<br />
think-tanks (CEPS - Centre for European Policy Stu<strong>di</strong>es and, since <strong>2004</strong>, EPC - European Policy<br />
Centre, both with headquarters in Brussels). In <strong>2004</strong>, in relation to the theme of the European<br />
Constitution – and more generally the construction of a political Europe – on which the activity of<br />
the four year period 2001-<strong>2004</strong> is focussed, the weight attributed to the international role of the EU<br />
increased, with two highly significant initiatives: the second appointment with Transatlantic Trends,<br />
the European and American public opinion survey on questions of international politics promoted<br />
in partnership with the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and the first e<strong>di</strong>tion of the<br />
Programme European Foreign and Security Policy Stu<strong>di</strong>es, launched together with<br />
VolkswagenStiftung and Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (see the schedule on the<br />
initiative).<br />
In the field of human rights, in connection with the issues of development, also in <strong>2004</strong> the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> has supported research and training activities performed by the UN Campus in Turin<br />
in collaboration with Turin University departments (see also the Education sector).<br />
Immigration and citizenship rights<br />
28<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> confirmed its attention to topics<br />
that are assuming growing relevance in the local, national<br />
and European sphere - those of immigration and<br />
citizenship rights. The action of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> is aimed at<br />
the enrichment of knowledge on migratory phenomena,<br />
integration policies for immigrants and new minorities<br />
and the comparison and evaluation of public policies. The<br />
research activities supported have significant spin-offs in<br />
terms of information and in-depth study for other sectors<br />
of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, such as those of Education and Welfare.<br />
Among the grants for <strong>2004</strong>, that of € 125,000 to the<br />
institutional activity of FIERI - (International and European<br />
Forum for Research on Immigration) of Turin,<br />
international research network made up of scholars<br />
engaged on the analysis of the development of migratory<br />
phenomenon and the evaluation of the social and<br />
economic implications, and that of € 100,000 to the<br />
activities of the Centro Stu<strong>di</strong> Medì - Migrazioni nel<br />
Me<strong>di</strong>terraneo (Migration in the Me<strong>di</strong>terranean) of Genoa,<br />
which offers itself as a meeting place for scholars of<br />
migratory phenomena, teachers and social workers, in<br />
order to collate knowledge about immigration in Liguria.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> supported with a € 70,000 grant<br />
the programme “Minorities, migration and the job market<br />
in Europe” organised by Ethnobarometer - International<br />
Research Network Interethnic Politics and Migration,<br />
centre for research and monitoring on ethic conflicts and<br />
migratory flows in Europe and with € 50,000 the project<br />
MigraCtion of the CeSPI - Centro Stu<strong>di</strong> <strong>di</strong> Politica<br />
Internazionale of Rome, which has the objective of<br />
contributing to the Italian debate on the subject of<br />
migration, favouring the internationalisation of the<br />
scientific approach and a closer connection of the analysis<br />
of the policies on migratory flows with those for<br />
integration and “co-development” at a European<br />
Community level. Also significant is the grant of € 30,000<br />
on the favour the Comitato Oltre il Razzismo (Committee<br />
against Racism) of Turin, for “research – action to assess<br />
the number and the situation of foreign minors in Turin<br />
following the regularisation of their position”.

European Foreign and Security Policy Stu<strong>di</strong>es Programme<br />
For some years the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has de<strong>di</strong>cated its<br />
attention to subjects connected to European integration<br />
and international relations; among the wide-ranging<br />
initiatives promoted in this field, the advanced research<br />
and training programme European Foreign and Security<br />
Policy Stu<strong>di</strong>es (EFSPS) stands out. Foreign policy and<br />
security in Europe are still considered to be national<br />
issues. However, international events of the last few years<br />
demonstrate that violence and terrorism do not stop at<br />
national frontiers: it is now much more important than in<br />
the past to ask ourselves how the European Union can<br />
guarantee security. More generally, in the construction of<br />
a “Political Europe” the <strong>di</strong>mension of overseas politics<br />
and defence performs a fundamental role. These are<br />
some of the themes tackled in the EFSPS programme,<br />
performed in <strong>2004</strong> by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> in cooperation<br />
with Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond<br />
(Stockholm) and the VolkswagenStiftung (Hanover). The<br />
three foundations gave grants of € 500,000 each as<br />
initial fun<strong>di</strong>ng for the project. The EFSPS programme, the<br />
first initiative between European foundations for<br />
advanced training in the field of “Common Foreign and<br />
Security Policy” (CFSP) and of “European Security and<br />
Defence Policy” (ESDP), was promoted to support<br />
growth of the next generation of intellectual leaders, able<br />
to encourage – also in public debate – the overcoming of<br />
national points of view in favour of a transnational<br />
perspective.<br />
The initiative supported by the three foundations offers to<br />
researchers and young professionals engaged in the<br />
field of foreign policy and security the possibility to<br />
perform research, spend periods of work experience at<br />
European Institutions, construct networks through<br />
participation in workshops and other public gatherings.<br />
Within the overall theme of PESC, the can<strong>di</strong>dates, under<br />
32 years of age, can choose freely their own research<br />
topics.<br />
Over a five-year period the programme seeks to construct<br />
a network of young researchers able to formulate<br />
innovative proposals in the fields of foreign policy and<br />
defence. The participants are chosen on the basis of their<br />
personal qualifications and the quality of the work project<br />
proposed in the fields of CFSP and ESDF and their effect<br />
on public debate. The selected can<strong>di</strong>dates are<br />
encouraged to participate in conferences and summer<br />
schools together with senior researchers and<br />
professionals, in order to promote reciprocal exchange of<br />
experience and knowledge between participants and<br />
contact with academic and professional worlds. The<br />
participants who have completed positively the research<br />
and training programme will be able to work and provide<br />
innovative contributions in the university environment, or<br />
as analysts for institutes or think tanks, in the me<strong>di</strong>a, in the<br />
public sector or in non-governmental organisations.<br />

Education<br />
For <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s commitment has developed in two areas of interest identified as priorities:<br />
the development of the university system, to which approximately 40% of the total grant was applied,<br />
and the promotion of training policies, activities and methods which received approximately 30% of<br />
the sector resources; that amount includes a grant for € 3.5 million for the activities of the Foundation<br />
for Schools in 2005.<br />
The total grant in the Education sector includes an award of € 4 million for the possible construction<br />
of a Higher European Inter<strong>di</strong>sciplinary Institute for Human Genetics (ISEIGU) and approximately<br />
€ 1.2 million in favour of the newly constituted Collegio Carlo Alberto Foundation for activities in 2005<br />
and for the refurbishment works for the buil<strong>di</strong>ng which houses the Collegio (for both the initiatives see<br />
also the Research sector).<br />
Development of the university system<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s commitment to university activities concentrates on the development of the Turin<br />
university structures: The main project supported in this sphere relates to the construction of an<br />
integrated computer system of library and documentary resources, and the library services of the<br />
University of Turin.<br />
The interest in the development of innovative forms and “models” of university colleges was<br />
confirmed, with the support for the project of buil<strong>di</strong>ng renovation of the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> section of the<br />
Renato Einau<strong>di</strong> University College in Turin.<br />
The attention to the reinforcement of the local university system is also translated into support for the<br />
internationalisation of the Turin Universities through the contribution to advanced training courses<br />
which attract students and teachers from overseas, as the Master’s Degree of the CORIPE Piemonte<br />
(the Consortium for Research and Life Long Training) the doctorate in Institutions, Law and<br />
Economics implemented at the Carlo Alberto, the new post-graduate course on Law and Business in<br />
Europe, that the IUSE – University Institute for European Stu<strong>di</strong>es will inaugurate in 2005 together with<br />
the Centro Stu<strong>di</strong> sul Federalismo (Research Centre on Federalism), and the initiatives in co-operation<br />
between the UN campus and Turin University.<br />
Alongside the grants for the city university structures, the commitment in favour of university activities<br />
in other geographical areas assumed growing weight. These are established in areas of specific<br />
interest for the <strong>Compagnia</strong> or those who have started up cooperation with permanent organisations<br />
of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> or with Turin universities. Support for the Federico II University in Naples is<br />
particularly significant and a specific information schedule is provided in that respect.<br />
In the field of advanced training at present three permanent organisations of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> are<br />
operating, in respect of which see the appropriate sections: the Collegio Carlo Alberto Foundation at<br />
Collegio Carlo Alberto in Moncalieri, which houses the Master’s Degrees of CORIPE Piedmont and<br />
the doctorates of the University of Turin in the economics field: the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella<br />
(ISMB), in partnership between the <strong>Compagnia</strong> and the Polytechnic of Turin in the field of ICT<br />
(Information and Communication Technologies); the Istituto Superiore sui Sistemi Territoriali per<br />
l’Innovazione - SiTI, in partnership with Turin Polytechnic.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong>, in particular, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> supported the “Polime<strong>di</strong>a” project, implemented by the ISMB<br />
in co-operation with the Polytechnic that provides inter alia for the creation of a centre for multime<strong>di</strong>a<br />
content aimed at supporting research activities and high level training in the sector.<br />
While the contribution to advanced training in the economic-financial field is concentrated on<br />
Master’s Degrees and Doctorates established at the Carlo Alberto, in the field of the humanities and<br />

The <strong>Compagnia</strong> also intervenes in the field of university and<br />
post-graduate education outside the Turin area, in favour of<br />
university activities established in geographical areas of<br />
specific interest for the <strong>Compagnia</strong> (also on the basis of<br />
relationships established with other foundations) or when<br />
such universities have started up cooperation with the Turin<br />
universities or with the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s permanent<br />
organisations. The Federico II University falls into the first<br />
category, also in the light of the “Planned Co-operation<br />
Agreement” signed on 7 December 2002 between the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> and the Foundation Istituto Banco <strong>di</strong> Napoli.<br />
The Federico II University in Naples – the second largest<br />
University in the country after the University of Rome, with<br />
approximately 96,000 students and 2,900 teachers and<br />
researchers – has an extremely important library system,<br />
which includes approximately 160 structures, to which the<br />
University is giving particular attention in terms of<br />
automation and the constitution of a <strong>di</strong>gital library, with a<br />
University open archive, as well as the integration and<br />
unification of the data of the University Catalogue, projects<br />
supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> with grants of respectively<br />
€ 190,000 and € 230,000. Among the projects supported<br />
by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> to be implemented by 2006, is an<br />
integrated system of support for the management of<br />
teaching part of a larger technical project “Business<br />
Intelligence”, which will be used for the procedure of<br />
management control of teaching. The system will allow the<br />
performance of <strong>di</strong>fferent analyses for multi<strong>di</strong>mensional<br />
series of data and dynamic <strong>report</strong>ing, also from remote<br />
terminals, operating <strong>di</strong>rectly on the databases of the<br />
institutional system of the Student Secretariat. The<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> has awarded a grant of € 276,000 for the<br />
initiative. The system will be a useful instrument for the<br />
phases of implementation, verification and evaluation of the<br />
quality of the training offered and will help to make the<br />
information campaigns aimed at high school students and<br />
guidance initiatives for students/graduates more accurately<br />
targeted. In order to encourage the process of university<br />
renewal, which invests heavily in the use of new<br />
technologies connected to teaching, infrastructure<br />
investments will be made of “Informatizzazione leggera”<br />
(light computerisation) for the classrooms: the fitting out of<br />
50 classrooms with a grant by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> of € 240,000<br />
– spread out within the <strong>di</strong>fferent faculties now de<strong>di</strong>cated to<br />
classroom teaching – with video projection equipment and<br />
Internet access. In the last two years approximately 60 of<br />
these have been produced (roughly four classrooms per<br />
faculty), within the scope of the Campus One project.<br />
During <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> also awarded grants in favour<br />
of in<strong>di</strong>vidual initiatives of advance training, performed by<br />
in<strong>di</strong>vidual structures of the University in the economic and<br />
financial field for a total of € 312,000.

Advanced Study of the University of Turin, in the form of scholarship financing for the Doctorates (see<br />
also the specific box).<br />
In other research spheres, as for example urban stu<strong>di</strong>es, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> offers an important<br />
opportunity for training for young Italian researchers, supporting the participation in the International<br />
Fellows Program organised by the Johns Hopkins University.<br />
In the field of business education, the European School of Management Italy, with its headquarters in<br />
Turin, started up with success its own activities of the European network ESCP-EAP (see the<br />
schedule on the project).<br />
Training policies, activities and methodologies<br />
As regards schools, the commitment of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> is focussed on the integration of training<br />
processes, through the promotion of “knowledge” which is sometimes not adequately dealt with. In<br />
<strong>2004</strong>, in particular, musical training was the main subject of focus (see the box de<strong>di</strong>cated to Music in<br />
School) and the circulation of scientific knowledge – a subject developed also in the scope of the<br />
Research sector – with, for example, the projects of the Sub-alpine Mathesis Association, for a<br />
residential work experience placement in mathematics and the exhibition on Einstein produced (in<br />
March 2005) by the Diesse Piedmont Association of Turin.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has supported training courses for teachers on the subject of han<strong>di</strong>cap, extrascholastic<br />
training initiatives (such as the project “Chess in School – Schools towards the Chess<br />
Olympics 2006” promoted by the Turin Chess Society also with the support of the City of Turin) and<br />
experimentation of innovative teaching projects.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> confirmed its interest in subjects of at-a-<strong>di</strong>stance training, supporting, through<br />
scholarships, initiatives such as degree courses in Italian language and culture of the ICON<br />
Consortium – Italian Culture on the Net, of Pisa. Also the multime<strong>di</strong>a course on the History of Industry<br />
in the North West of Italy from 1850 to today uses network technology. See the specific box.<br />
The commitment continued on intercultural themes, which assume increasing relevance in the<br />
scholastic sphere due to social and demographic changes taking place: the support for initiatives<br />
such as that for the circulation of an intercultural approach to education, under the auspices of<br />
Cicsene of Turin, falls within that objective, and for the continuation of the teaching experimentation<br />
33
The “Cantascuola”<br />
project- classroom<br />
activities<br />
project “On the Flying Carpet” started by the City of Turin in the <strong>San</strong> Salvario <strong>di</strong>strict.<br />
In confirmation of the importance that is increasingly attributed to quality in the education system –<br />
both school and university – and to comparison with international standards, numerous initiatives<br />
have been supported concerning assessment and self-assessment. This goes from confirmation of<br />
support for the institutional activities of the Associazione Treellle of Genoa, engaged in the analysis<br />
and formulation of policy proposals in the educational field, contributions to the assessment project<br />
of the quality of Higher Education in Europe, under the auspices of the Academia Europaea, and to<br />
the REFLEX investigation, promoted in the scope of the E.U. to assess skills and professional routes<br />
34<br />
The European School of Management Italia in Turin<br />
L’ESCP (Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Paris),<br />
established in 1819 as a Grande Ecole de Gestion on the<br />
initiative of the Chambre de Commerce et Industrie de<br />
Paris (CCIP), contributed to teaching the French<br />
economic élite for two centuries. In 1973 the EAP project<br />
(Ecole Européenne des Affaires), was launched, a model<br />
for the Grande Ecole de Gestion, the first Grande Ecole to<br />
establish itself in other European cities (Berlin, Madrid<br />
and Oxford).<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the ESCP-EAP European School of Management<br />
launched its fifth centre (the European School of<br />
Management Italia – ESMI) with headquarters in Turin,<br />
thanks also to the support of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> (with a grant<br />
of € 220,000). Turin University (through the Economics<br />
Faculty), the Turin Chamber of Commerce and Chambre<br />
de Commerce et d’Industrie de Paris are all founders of the<br />
ESMI.<br />
The ESMI academic year <strong>2004</strong>/2005 was inaugurated on<br />
27 September <strong>2004</strong>, with the start up of the Master’s<br />
Degree in Management (MiM) and the Master’s Degree in<br />
European Business (MEB). From January 2005 is<br />
implemented also in Turin the prestigious European<br />
Executive MBA. In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> awarded grants of<br />
€ 155,000 in favour of the ESMI.

project at the Mario<br />
Boella Institute<br />

on Higher Education Systems of Pavia University.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> furthermore has supported important public opportunities for <strong>di</strong>scussion, such as<br />
the Eighth International Congress of Educating Cities, which was held in Genoa in November <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
Special partner for many of the activities described was the Foundation for Schools, one of the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>’s permanent organisations, created with the aim of supporting, by an operative role, the<br />
introduction of self-governing schools (for a description of the activities of the Foundation in <strong>2004</strong>,<br />
see the appropriate schedule in the section Permanent Organisations).<br />
On line course on the history of industry in the North-West of Italy<br />
35<br />
This project, under the auspices of CSI Piedmont and the<br />
Department of Science of Education and Training of Turin<br />
University in co-operation with the Foundation for Schools<br />
(one of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s permanent organisations),<br />
provides for the production of a multime<strong>di</strong>a programme for<br />
the study of the history of industry in the North-West<br />
(Piedmont, Liguria and the Aosta Valley) from 1850 to the<br />
present day. Materials originating from the past of the<br />
productive units will be located and organised to produce<br />
an on line course which allows the young people to<br />
investigate in more depth the history of industrial,<br />
technological and employment development in the three<br />
regions referred to. High school students are not only the<br />
principal users of the course, but will be involved in the<br />
transformation of the materials emanating from company<br />
archives or from small local museums into documentary<br />
sources and teaching units. From the technological point<br />
of view, the innovative idea consists of applying to the<br />
development of on line courses the principle of free<br />
software, for which many parties contribute with their own<br />
resources to the in<strong>di</strong>vidual parts of a system in exchange<br />
for free access to the entire system. The <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
awarded grants of € 320,000 in favour of the CSI for the<br />
project in <strong>2004</strong>.
Yehu<strong>di</strong> Menuhin (1916-1999), inventor of the Mus-e project<br />
To promote music in schools<br />
36<br />
In the Education sector, within the scope of the promotion<br />
of “knowledge” often not adequately dealt with by the<br />
school system, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> gives support to “music in<br />
school” (while the Cultural heritage and activities sector<br />
deals with “music schools”).<br />
For four years the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has supported the<br />
association Cantascuola, which organises a “European<br />
School of Culture and Musical Education - SECEM” in<br />
Turin: the project provides for the gradual constitution of<br />
sections of elementary schools which use a method based<br />
on learning through musical education (for example,<br />
foreign languages are taught using the rhythm and<br />
intonation of the sentence, phonetics, phonology; history<br />
and geography are dealt with starting from elements of<br />
ethnomusicology and the sociology of music). So far 15<br />
elementary school classes have been involved.<br />
Ad<strong>di</strong>tionally, the association holds workshop and training<br />
activity days aimed at the world of the school and training,<br />
on subjects of a musical nature, at the “Casa della<br />
Musica”, the new structure recently equipped set up in<br />
Settimo Torinese (Turin). In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> awarded<br />
grants of € 75,000 for SECEM and € 40,000 for the “Casa<br />
della Musica”. For some years the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
supported the Associazione Mus-e Italia Onlus, affiliated<br />
to the Yehu<strong>di</strong> Menuhin Foundation, with headquarters in<br />
Brussels, established by the great violinist in 1991, which<br />
promotes the project Mus-e in 12 European countries in<br />
co-operation with UNESCO and with the EU. In Italy the<br />
project has been produced in Milan, Bologna, Cremona,<br />
Turin and Genoa; the activities of the last two branches<br />
were supported by <strong>Compagnia</strong>, in <strong>2004</strong>, with grants of<br />
€ 185,000 for Mus-e Turin and € 40,000 for Mus-e<br />
Genoa. The project is performed in classes over the threeyear<br />
cycle, with the presence of professional artists for at<br />
least 60 hours in a school year. Mus-e intends to act on the<br />
collective dynamics, <strong>di</strong>luting social tensions and<br />
developing expressive capacity in children, with a<br />
perspective of harmonious and balanced growth.

The <strong>Compagnia</strong> and support for doctorates<br />
The profound transformation underway in the Italian<br />
university system requires that particular attention is<br />
given to teaching at the most advanced level (commonly<br />
defined as the tertiary level) in order to ensure the best<br />
con<strong>di</strong>tions for training of “human capital” in the field of<br />
research.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> grants both awards to in<strong>di</strong>vidual<br />
doctorates and participates in structured initiatives in<br />
support of high level training.<br />
As regards the first method of intervention, particular<br />
attention is given to training in the economic and<br />
financial field. At the Collegio Carlo Alberto, permanent<br />
organisation of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, in <strong>2004</strong> were supported<br />
with scholarships and operational grants: The<br />
International Research Doctorate I.E.L. - Institutions,<br />
Economics and Law organised by CLEI - Interuniversity<br />
Centre for Comparative Analysis of Law and Economy,<br />
Economy of the Institutions; the Research Doctorate in<br />
Economics sciences of Turin University; the Research<br />
Doctorate in Economics of the institutions and creativity<br />
of Turin University. In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> awarded<br />
grants to the Carlo Alberto of € 605,000 for the 20 th cycle<br />
and € 762,000 for the 21 st , for the three doctorates<br />
inclu<strong>di</strong>ng the operating expenses of the CLEI.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has supported ISASUT - International<br />
School of Advanced Study of the University of Turin since<br />
its inception with an annual contribution for doctorate<br />
scholarships in natural sciences and human sciences.<br />
That contribution was of € 476,000 in <strong>2004</strong>. In concert<br />
with the Research Commission of the Academic Senate<br />
and with the Doctorates of Turin University which pertain<br />
to this, ISASUT deals with planning, promotion,<br />
organisation and coor<strong>di</strong>nation of tertiary teaching and the<br />
start up of national and international cooperation.<br />

“Canaletto”, Rome, and “Caravaggio”, Naples: two of last year’s major exhibitions<br />
An analysis of the Arts sector activities in <strong>2004</strong> must take into account the general consideration that it<br />
was a year that concentrated on revitalising some “historic” actions, confirming new programmes and<br />
developing a more dynamic strategy in order to implement the aims laid out in the Provisional Planning<br />
Document. Looking at the list of projects, a balance between the “old” and “new” is present in any<br />
event required to satisfy the artistic spirit. But the will to constructively impact is also present in a rapidly<br />
changing society.<br />
This aim is the basis for the new activities started up during the year: protection for areas of natural<br />
beauty, architecture and contemporary art and themes concerning museum management. These<br />
actions are added to the tra<strong>di</strong>tional ones: supporting specialist training events and restoring civil and<br />
religious monuments - benefiting from around 90% of annual resources - and enhancing them through<br />
promoting exhibitions of excellence. For years, choices have been guided by the conviction that<br />
cultural heritage is not only the custo<strong>di</strong>an of intrinsic historical-artistic values, but it is also a source and<br />
generator of well being that expresses itself in a community’s growing awareness in both productivity<br />
and the quality of life.<br />
The willingness to adopt a strategic approach to cultural planning and take a lea<strong>di</strong>ng role among<br />
institutions committed to protecting artistic heritage, led the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, in <strong>2004</strong>, to develop more<br />
integrated operational methods. It achieves this by using tools and training methods that are variable<br />
and flexible accor<strong>di</strong>ng to the needs of the <strong>di</strong>fferent cultural issues. Two permanent organisations flank<br />
the sector’s tra<strong>di</strong>tional grant-making activity: the Fondazione per l’Arte and the Istituto sui Sistemi<br />
Territoriali per l’Innovazione (SiTI). Institutional support to the former is founded on the conviction that<br />
the sector’s high level of theoretical maturity on certain subjects could develop even further by taking<br />
on operating responsibilities; in particular concerning museum management, training programmes on<br />
39
estoration and historical-artistic subjects and art collecting promotion. With SiTI, on the other hand,<br />
given its Research Centre nature, it was decided to share some specific projects on certain local<br />
protected areas of cultural heritage, especially in Southern Italy. In line with both the past and the new<br />
system of cooperation outlined above, in <strong>2004</strong> union to the Framework Programme Agreement was<br />
confirmed concerning Cultural Heritage in the Piedmont Region. This is the basic tool for cultural<br />
planning between both public and private institutions responsible for protecting the main historical<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ngs in Piedmont. Parallel to this, support for the Turin Museum Programme has continued since<br />
its start in 2000 and represents the sector’s main commitment not only in economic terms, but also in<br />
organisation and management. Among the operative tools that the <strong>Compagnia</strong> uses, the Programmes<br />
are the most complex and therefore, accor<strong>di</strong>ng to tra<strong>di</strong>tion, a chapter in this Report is de<strong>di</strong>cated<br />
entirely to them. It seems appropriate to stress yet again that the integrated approach of public and<br />
private action, the attention to the contexts monuments are placed into, the availability of useful and<br />

The Old Church of the Cemetery.<br />

The Old Cemetery Church<br />
of <strong>San</strong> Maurizio Canavese (Turin)<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has overseen the protection of Piedmont’s<br />
minor religious heritage for several years within the<br />
“Cantieri d’Arte” call for proposal. Equally, and on a yearly<br />
basis, specific resources are de<strong>di</strong>cated to an entire<br />
regeneration project of a prestigious religious asset of<br />
important historical interest. In <strong>2004</strong>, with a grant of €<br />
500,000, the Old Church of the Cemetery of <strong>San</strong> Maurizio<br />
Canavese was selected.<br />
This church was built in the 11th century<br />
and presently has three aisles; the two side<br />
ones are vaulted and the central one has<br />
caissons: the apse facing east as in, firstly<br />
Paleochristian, and then Romanesque,<br />
tra<strong>di</strong>tion. The original structure was<br />
subsequently altered mostly in the 16th<br />
and 17th centuries, when the central nave<br />
was raised and main and side altars were<br />
built. The interior retains a precious cycle<br />
of fifteenth century frescoes on the life and<br />
passion of Christ, work of painters<br />
Bartolomeo and Sebastiano Serra,<br />
together with traces of yet other frescoes<br />
still in good con<strong>di</strong>tion, under the<br />
plasterwork. This grant meant that the<br />
church’s decorative paintings could be<br />
brought to light and some structural<br />
restoration works done. The chance to take<br />
on entire projects like this also made working on the<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng site an unrepeatable opportunity to update<br />
historical and artistic stu<strong>di</strong>es together with elaboration<br />
methods and techniques. Lastly, the church’s restoration<br />
and its placement in the Canavesana area are part of the<br />
integrated development plan within an improvement<br />
programme concerning the entire area. The initiative, in<br />
fact, is the second stage of a wider restoration project<br />
promoted by the Association of the Friends of Piedmont<br />
Cultural heritage entitled “Via del Miracolo”. It goes<br />
backwards through the historical-religious itinerary of the<br />
miracle of Turin of 1453, and to which the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
already guaranteed one of the first contributions by<br />
restoring Turin’s Corpus Domini Church.

Civil artistic and monument heritage<br />
Il Protocollo d’Intesa (The Protocol of Agreement) signed between the Piedmont Region and the<br />
Regional Directorate for Cultural and Natural Heritage was confirmed and extended with the ad<strong>di</strong>tion<br />
of some significant historical buil<strong>di</strong>ngs, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng Agliè Castle and Adelaide Castle in Susa and the<br />
Bishop’s Seminary library in Turin. Interest in reviving the city’s historic centre encouraged the sector to<br />
cooperate with the local Territorial Housing Agency by restoring the <strong>di</strong>lapidated Palazzo Siccar<strong>di</strong> and<br />
use it for cultural purposes within the area. In Naples, an extremely rewar<strong>di</strong>ng example of co-operation<br />
with the City Council led to the recovery of an extended urban area marred by social degradation. It<br />
offers a tool for revitalisation, on one side, by combining urbanisation and works of art and on the other,<br />
by emphasising the archaeological value of the historical Piazza Bellini, heart of the city’s cultural life.<br />
Religious artistic and monument heritage<br />
The restoration of minor religious monuments throughout Piedmont and Liguria was possible thanks to<br />
the second e<strong>di</strong>tion of the “Cantieri d’Arte” call for proposal, by now a habitual appointment for scholars<br />
and all those involved in the subject. The parallel project “Valle <strong>di</strong> Susa: art, culture and Alpine tra<strong>di</strong>tion”<br />
sought, in <strong>2004</strong>, to enhance the many “sacred” examples throughout the Olympic valleys. As in the<br />
past, the decision was taken to fully support the regeneration of some historical buil<strong>di</strong>ngs that over the<br />
years have shaped the area’s culture and living. More attention, finally, has been reserved for modern<br />
architecture, an example of which can be seen in the extremely high quality <strong>San</strong>to Volto complex, work<br />
of the internationally-famous architect Mario Botta.<br />
41<br />
Landscape heritage<br />
The decision to widen the sector’s range of interest to include natural beauty spots provided the<br />
opportunity to reserve a specific field of interest to landscapes. The knowledge and experience gained<br />
from the call for proposal “PaeSaggio Piemonte” have been significant. It was launched at the end of<br />
2003, and its development gave rise to a database that is extremely useful in documenting the<br />
complexity of the subject and planning future activities. In that respect the research project “The future<br />
for the cultural landscape of the Alps” shows its real value in its aim to increase the awareness that the<br />
environment is a place to be protected.
Exhibitions, events and publications<br />
Together with institutional support for the Turin Museums Foundation and exhibition activities of<br />
some organisations of excellence in Piedmont, some initiatives of scientific and artistic value were<br />
promoted. In particular, the Franz Kline retrospective at Rivoli Castle or the Arts and Architecture<br />
42<br />
Vercelli, a particular of Bernar<strong>di</strong>no Lanino’s<br />
frescos in the church of the Confraternita<br />
<strong>San</strong>ta Caterina<br />
Cantieri d’Arte (Art Workshops) <strong>2004</strong><br />
In December the results of the Cantieri d’Arte <strong>2004</strong> call for<br />
proposal were made public. The call for proposal was<br />
aimed at the regeneration of religious heritage throughout<br />
the territory, which in this e<strong>di</strong>tion widens the scope of the<br />
intervention to Liguria in ad<strong>di</strong>tion to Piedmont. The call for<br />
proposal, set out in a double selection, brought about the<br />
approval of 80 projects between the end of <strong>2004</strong> and the<br />
beginning of 2005, out of a total of 264 applications for a<br />
total amount of € 4.5 million.<br />
The assessment took account of the design quality, the<br />
historical-artistic merit of the asset, its cultural and social<br />
impact on the territory, level of preservation and the<br />
urgency for intervention. The projects and the information<br />
relative to the proposed interventions, ordered accor<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
to uniform adju<strong>di</strong>cation criteria, created an unpublished<br />
sample collection. It is extremely valuable for the<br />
assessment of the state of the “minor” heritage and useful<br />
for enriching the documentary materials already known to<br />
scholars in the subject. The panorama of the religious<br />
artistic heritage that emerges is of great interest;<br />
<strong>di</strong>fferentiated by types, buil<strong>di</strong>ng period, style and<br />
influences, and full of often forgotten masterpieces.
Institutional activities in <strong>2004</strong><br />
Arts<br />
Exhibition in Genoa, reached the objective of transforming these sites into international centres of<br />
attraction. Practically on a par with cities such as Rome and Naples which, moreover, have hosted<br />
two of the most prestigious exhibitions of the year: “Canaletto, the Triumph of the Landscape” at<br />
Palazzo Giustiniani and “Caravaggio:The Final Years 1606 -1610” at the Capo<strong>di</strong>monte Museum.<br />
Training and research<br />
During the year, commitment continued both in favour of SiTI in its promotion of research on quality<br />
and development of the territorial systems as well as in support of research into history-art fields.<br />
The main action, however, was the trial of a new management system within the fields of interest,<br />
which in fact provoked the reflection that, as from 2005, specialist training and research on cultural<br />
heritage will be deferred to the operational authorities, each accor<strong>di</strong>ng to their own remits.<br />

PaeSaggio Piedmont <strong>2004</strong><br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s commitment to the enhancement of<br />
environmental heritage has seen the call for proposal<br />
“PaeSaggio Piedmont <strong>2004</strong>” as a primary instrument of<br />
intervention in the new field of interest de<strong>di</strong>cated to the<br />
theme of the landscape. The initiative, aimed at public<br />
bo<strong>di</strong>es, local authorities, religious organisations and<br />
non-profit organisations, dealt with projects for<br />
safeguar<strong>di</strong>ng, restoring and revitalising areas of<br />
landscape situated in historical-cultural and natural sites<br />
in the Piedmont Region.<br />
A the end of the selection, ten projects were awarded<br />
grants, among the 188 can<strong>di</strong>dates submitted, for a total<br />
allocation of € 624,000; the initiatives relate to<br />
landscapes adjacent to architectural heritage sites<br />
subject to protection obligations, landscapes in national<br />
parks, protected areas and eco-museums.<br />
Through the call for proposal “PaeSaggio Piedmont<br />
<strong>2004</strong>” it was also possible to perform an initial census of<br />
small and me<strong>di</strong>um sized projects in existence on the<br />
Piedmont territory, in order to enhance the extraor<strong>di</strong>nary<br />
concentration of variety of landscapes that characterise it.
Naples: Piazza Bellini<br />
The historic centre of Naples<br />
44<br />
Naples and Campania have in recent years been<br />
privileged areas for grants and attention from the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>. It committed itself in <strong>2004</strong> to supporting the<br />
revitalisation project for Naples historic city centre and in<br />
particular the urban axis of <strong>San</strong>ta Caterina da Siena and<br />
Piazza Bellini with a grant of € 1 million.<br />
The whole project represents an excellent example of<br />
planning which combines the needs to safeguard the<br />
monuments with those of revitalisation, also on a social<br />
level, of the historic city centre. The two initiatives<br />
originate from co-operation with the City of Naples and<br />
seek to renew the urban fabric, highly precious but greatly<br />
<strong>di</strong>lapidated, through two characteristic elements of the<br />
city: archaeology and modern art.<br />
The architectural and artistic upgra<strong>di</strong>ng of the urban axis<br />
of <strong>San</strong>ta Caterina da Siena involves an area of<br />
approximately 7,000 square metres, which, set out in<br />
streets and squares, runs from Via Gradoni <strong>di</strong> Chiaia to<br />
Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Works are planned on highly<br />
prestigious buil<strong>di</strong>ngs such as Chiesa della Pietà dei<br />
Turchini, Istituto Suor Orsola Benincasa and the Real<br />
Conservatory, starting from Largo <strong>San</strong>ta Caterina da<br />
Siena passing through Piazza Cariati and continuing<br />
along Via Chiaia. This itinerary will be revitalised with<br />
new lighting, pedestrian precincts, regulation of car<br />
parking, placement of works of modern art in the original<br />
architectural fabric. It deals, therefore, with an urban<br />
programme of works in line with the most modern<br />
principles of conservative restoration and integrated<br />
improvement of the monuments and surroun<strong>di</strong>ng spaces.<br />
The second grant involves another jewel of the historic<br />
centre of Naples: Piazza Bellini. The Piazza hosting the<br />
monument to the musician is situated in the heart of the<br />
city right next to the <strong>San</strong> Pietro a Maiella Conservatory of<br />
Music. In the central part, on a lower level than the street<br />
and surrounded by iron railings the archaeological<br />
excavations can be seen. These date from between the<br />
fifth and fourth centuries B.C. and represent the most<br />
evident testimony of the primitive Greco-Roman city of<br />
Neapolis.<br />
The general revitalisation project involves an area of<br />
1,850 square metres, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng works for the redefinition<br />
of the altimetry and for the production of a new road<br />
surface. Inside this in order to obtain a single sloping<br />
walking surface, inside which the original elements take<br />
shape again (the excavation, the monument, the central<br />
palm tree) also allowing an improved rea<strong>di</strong>ng of the<br />
precious facades of the buil<strong>di</strong>ngs facing onto the square<br />
and the optimisation of its public use. Part of the<br />
interventions of the excavations in order to enhance the<br />
archaeological features, presently not accessible and<br />
<strong>di</strong>fficult to maintain. They also involve the restoration of<br />
the monument to Bellini, with restoration works and the<br />
insertion of copies of female statues which will return it to<br />
its original form as one of the most cherished symbols of<br />
Neapolitan tra<strong>di</strong>tion.

The rehabilitation of Palazzo Siccar<strong>di</strong> in Turin<br />
In the field of the restoration of the civil monument<br />
heritage, during <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> decided to operate<br />
in the historic centre of Turin through the renovation of<br />
Palazzo Siccar<strong>di</strong>. That initiative, for which a grant of €<br />
1.5 million was resolved, was not limited to the<br />
restoration of a historic buil<strong>di</strong>ng, but plays a decisive role<br />
in the reclamation of an urban area. Revitalisation was<br />
necessary of an entire block, seriously at risk due to the<br />
Palace con<strong>di</strong>tions, an architecturally interesting<br />
monument which still retains, despite the serious state of<br />
<strong>di</strong>lapidation, precise traces of the complexity of its<br />
construction stages. Following the surveys carried out<br />
prior to commencement of the restoration works, some<br />
extremely important decorations emerged which were<br />
believed to have been lost forever. This caused the City of<br />
Turin, also at the request of the Superintendent for Artistic<br />
and Historical Heritage of Piedmont, to provide the<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng with an intended use capable of enhancing the<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng and making it usable by citizens. The project<br />
offers the restoration of the buil<strong>di</strong>ng, which shall be used<br />
as civic library and multi-purpose room for the Historical<br />
Archive in the parts housing the decorations, while the<br />
remaining wing will hold fifteen subsi<strong>di</strong>sed public<br />
housing units.<br />
The restoration of Palazzo Siccar<strong>di</strong> allows not only the<br />
regeneration of a buil<strong>di</strong>ng of historic interest, but above<br />
all of an entire area in the heart of the city which has been<br />
<strong>di</strong>sused and uninhabited, and which today represents<br />
unfortunately a <strong>di</strong>scordant and <strong>di</strong>lapidated element.<br />
Through a highly-attended service the library and multipurpose<br />
room will enrich Turin with a new “cultural mini<strong>di</strong>strict”<br />
formed by Palazzo Siccar<strong>di</strong>, the Historical<br />
Archive of the City of Turin, and the exhibition space of the<br />
Antichi Chiostri (Ancient Cloisters).<br />

During <strong>2004</strong> cultural activities were developed within three areas known as Cultural Activities,<br />
Cultural Services and Humanities. This confirms the choices of the fields of interest which by now<br />
bear significant witness of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s contribution: Music and Dance, Theatre, Cinema and<br />
Photography, Archives and Libraries, Cultural research and popularisation, Literary Subjects,<br />
Historical and Philosophical subjects. Confirmation of these fields over the last four years has been<br />
shown to be of particular importance for giving more depth and structure to the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
objectives, thus significantly increasing the effectiveness and impact of its work in the cultural field.<br />
Cultural Activities<br />
Particular commitment has been de<strong>di</strong>cated to Cultural Activities, beneficiary of 54% of the sector’s<br />
budget. The operational method that characterises the area, and specifically the two fields of interest<br />
Music and Dance and Theatre, is represented by the calls for proposals “In <strong>Compagnia</strong> della<br />
Musica” and “In <strong>Compagnia</strong> del Teatro” now in their third e<strong>di</strong>tion. The 94 initiatives selected<br />
exhibitions and seasons have been able to count on funds of € 2.7 million. The commitment – the<br />
most significant singly de<strong>di</strong>cated to this type of event in North West Italy – is the confirmation of the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>’s decision to conduct a wide but incisive action for the performing arts, offering and<br />
rewar<strong>di</strong>ng quality artistic and organisational skills.<br />
This area includes participation of the three most prestigious bo<strong>di</strong>es to which the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
contributes on cultural issues: the Fondazione Teatro Regio (Regio Opera House Foundation) of<br />
Turin, the Fondazione Teatro Stabile (Repertory Theatre Foundation) of Turin and the Fondazione<br />
Museo Nazionale del Cinema, beneficiary of <strong>Compagnia</strong> grants totalling € 1.3 million.<br />

Music and Dance<br />
Within the call for proposal “In <strong>Compagnia</strong> della Musica” 34 reviews and 18 seasons were selected,<br />
for a total of € 1.5 million. This confirms the call’s position in the area and is beginning to be a gauge<br />
for quality of artistic significance and management efficiency. A significant commitment was made to<br />
reorganising the Library of the Conservatory of <strong>San</strong> Pietro a Majella, together with other important<br />
organisations in Naples, such as the <strong>San</strong> Carlo Theatre Foundation and the Scarlatti Association. In<br />
the Genoa area, well represented in the call for proposal, a relationship commenced with the Carlo<br />
Felice Opera House Foundation. In the dance field, support was confirmed for the most important<br />
Piedmont festivals featuring alongside international stars, me<strong>di</strong>um and small local companies, with<br />
independent productions.

The Real Collegio <strong>di</strong> Musica, or Collegio <strong>di</strong> Musica <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
Sebastiano, originated in 1806 from four secular<br />
institutions (the Orphanages of S.Onofrio a Capuana,<br />
S.Maria <strong>di</strong> Loreto, Pietà dei Turchini and of dei Poveri <strong>di</strong><br />
Gesù Cristo), which were established between the 16th<br />
and 17th centuries, originally de<strong>di</strong>cated to the sheltering<br />
and education of orphans and street children, and which<br />
later became real music schools, going on to form the new<br />
“Neapolitan school”, whose most illustrious exponent was<br />
Alessandro Scarlatti. The Real Collegio <strong>di</strong> Musica was<br />
transferred in 1826 into the present buil<strong>di</strong>ng, once the<br />
Convent of <strong>San</strong> Pietro a Majella, annex of the church of the<br />
same name of Celestini Fathers. In the 1800s the College<br />
of Music of <strong>San</strong> Sebastiano took the name Regio<br />
Conservatorio <strong>di</strong> Musica <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> Pietro a Majella, affirming<br />
itself as one of the greatest Italian institutions in this field.<br />
The Conservatory possesses a very valuable archive and<br />
library (over 40,000 manuscripts and 400,000 printed<br />
e<strong>di</strong>tions): the documentation, which dates from 1500 to<br />
1800, has its origins in the collection of the volumes of the<br />
ancient Conservatory of the Pietà dei Turchini, enriched by<br />
various prestigious contribution, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng the collection<br />
of musical scores of Queen Maria Carolina and the<br />
collection of Giuseppe Sigismondo, to the music<br />
collection of the Royal House of Bourbon in 1900s.<br />
Declared a “scholastic library open to the public”, due to<br />
lack of funds it suffered progressive deterioration until the<br />
recent partial restoration and reorganisation works which<br />
ended in 2001 allowed for its reopening. In co-operation<br />
with the Superintendent, the Conservatory of <strong>San</strong> Pietro a<br />
Majella was in fact able to implement an integrated<br />
reorganisation project for the restoration and<br />
enhancement of its artistic and musical heritage. In that<br />
project other previously financed works converged: the<br />
restructuring of the buil<strong>di</strong>ng, under the auspices of the<br />
Superintendent for Architectural Heritage, the cabling of<br />
the institute and therefore of the Library for the connection<br />
with National Library System through the National Library<br />
network.<br />
The Conservatory intends to continue the general<br />
reorganisation and revitalisation project, setting it out in<br />
several fields. For the safety of the valuable manuscripts a<br />
five-year plan has been drawn up and which is underway<br />
and fully supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> with a<br />
grant of € 250,000. The works are concentrated on the<br />
most important materials: that is, 150 very precious<br />
manuscripts, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng autographed works and 16th<br />
century texts of the Sala Rossini, of approximately 40,000<br />
shots, which will produce three <strong>di</strong>fferent <strong>di</strong>gital formats<br />
accor<strong>di</strong>ng to the standard of the Digital Archive Project for<br />
Music by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage. Supporting<br />
the enhancement of such heritage through a sophisticated<br />
avant-garde project represents the typical example of the<br />
culture intervention of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>,<br />
aimed at the promotion of knowledge through growth of<br />
local skills.

Theatre<br />
The long-stan<strong>di</strong>ng tra<strong>di</strong>tion of Ligurian theatre takes centre stage with a significant boost to the<br />
prestigious season of the Teatro Stabile of Genoa and the presence of high-level organisations in<br />
call for proposal “In <strong>Compagnia</strong> del Teatro”, which saw 42 initiatives being selected for € 1.2 million.<br />
The Teatro Stabile of Turin, reconstituted as a foundation in <strong>2004</strong>, finds new balance among<br />
production and hospitality, confirming its bond with the metropolitan area also in regenerating<br />
important buil<strong>di</strong>ngs like the Astra cinema, Moncalieri’s former Limone Foundry and the new Vittoria<br />
theatre.<br />
The “Born to Read” Project<br />
“Born to Read” is a project aimed at all children from birth<br />
to the age of 5 years, which seeks to transmit to parents the<br />
importance of telling and rea<strong>di</strong>ng stories to their children,<br />
in the name of the right of the child to be protected not only<br />
from illness and violence but also from the lack of adequate<br />
opportunities for affective and cognitive development. The<br />
practice of rea<strong>di</strong>ng aloud to children from the first months<br />
of life is in fact a fundamental and irreplaceable tool for<br />
encouraging harmonious development of the child’s<br />
personality and extends its beneficial effects to a multitude<br />
of areas: from affective-relational to linguistic-cognitive.<br />
The project aims at involving the subjects who deal with<br />
the world of rea<strong>di</strong>ng and literature for children and those<br />
who, for various reasons, participate in caring from<br />
children from birth. In Piedmont the promoters of the<br />
initiative are the Piedmont Region, the International Book<br />
Fair, the Italian Library Association and the Italian<br />
Pae<strong>di</strong>atric Association, who have created a Scientific<br />
Committee with coor<strong>di</strong>nation and assessment functions<br />
for the projects developed by the in<strong>di</strong>vidual libraries on the<br />
basis of the interest and adherence to the common project<br />
guidelines. Following contacts with the Piedmont Region,<br />
the <strong>Compagnia</strong> supported the initiatives submitted by the<br />
towns of Settimo, Moncalieri, Cameri, Chieri, Asti,<br />
Pinerolo and Alpignano for a total sum of approximately €<br />
140,000. All the towns involved donated books to new<br />
born babies, increased the collections de<strong>di</strong>cated to infants,<br />
and organised refresher courses for librarians and contact<br />
persons for the project. The future plans provide for<br />
meetings in libraries and schools, the extension of<br />
relationships with day care centres, nursery schools and<br />
other public and private educational centres, the<br />
construction of libraries for small children and refresher<br />
courses at pae<strong>di</strong>atric clinics taking part in the initiative.<br />

“Luci del teleschermo”(lights of the TV screen)- Palazzo Carignano- Turin<br />
“Luci del teleschermo. 50 anni <strong>di</strong> televisione italiana”<br />
(Lights of the TV screen – 50 years of Italian television)<br />
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of RAI television<br />
broadcasting, an exhibition “Luci del teleschermo.<br />
50 anni <strong>di</strong> televisione italiana” de<strong>di</strong>cated to cultural,<br />
educational and public service television was held in<br />
Turin, native city of the television in Italy. Designed to<br />
provoke reflection on the role played by television in the<br />
last half century and set up in an extremely picturesque<br />
fashion in Palazzo Carignano in the Cinema Museum<br />
respectively by the Architects Isola and Laganà, and by<br />
F. Confino, the initiative was e<strong>di</strong>ted by Peppino Ortoleva<br />
and Gian <strong>Paolo</strong> Caprettini of Turin University and Alberto<br />
Barbera for the National Cinema Museum. The exhibition<br />
was supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> with a grant of<br />
€ 375,000 and in ad<strong>di</strong>tion to offering a exhibition<br />
backdrop and “state of the art” of such an important<br />
me<strong>di</strong>um, sought to enhance a tendency for typical<br />
innovation of the City based on advanced professional<br />
skills, which are returning to characterise the area with a<br />
high concentration of initiatives in the cinema and in<br />
Information and Communication Technology.<br />
50<br />
Cinema and Photography<br />
The relationship with the National Cinema Museum remains central in this field of interest and the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> supports it in its institutional activities and by exten<strong>di</strong>ng its role as one of the city’s<br />
fundamental resources. In fact, it is a cultural workshop committed on several fronts – from the<br />
conservation of film collections to the promotion of selections – and also provi<strong>di</strong>ng, in true<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> custom, the feasibility study necessary for acquiring new premises for the “Cineborgo”<br />
(cinema <strong>di</strong>strict). Part of the exhibition “Luci del teleschermo” (Lights from the TV screen) for the<br />
RAI’s fiftieth anniversary took place there.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong>, special attention was given to cinema exhibitions, such as Turin Film Festival, Genova Film<br />
Festival, Cinemambiente Artecinema, Valsusa Filmfest. Such exhibitions are now increasing both in<br />
size and quality, exploiting the appeal of film to transmit complex meanings and knowledge.<br />
In line with its growing commitment to photography both as an art form as well as witness, the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>’s attention to photographic initiatives has intensified. They offer convincing historical<br />
substance and artistic quality, through pre-emptive action of regenerating valuable collections –<br />
such as the Parisio Historical Archive in Naples – or theme exhibitions, such as “Infinitamente al <strong>di</strong><br />
là <strong>di</strong> ogni sogno – alle origini della fotografia <strong>di</strong> montagna” (infinitely beyond all wildest dreams – at<br />
the origins of mountain photography) produced by Turin’s National Museum of the Mountains.

Much attention has been given here to the complex operation of creating the new Cultural Centre –<br />
Turin’s Civic Library, which should perform an important role in city life. The library, as workshop for<br />
cultural training is, therefore, the defining characteristic of the area’s more significant activities, where<br />
co-operation with the Piedmont Region comes to the fore on the Born to Read network project. In the<br />
area of archives, supporting reorganisation works, restoration and document <strong>di</strong>gitalisation has been<br />
subor<strong>di</strong>nate to the notification of the Superintendent’s interest and provision of simultaneous or<br />
subsequent research stu<strong>di</strong>es to publicise activity results. These features in fact <strong>di</strong>stinguish projects<br />
by the Longhi Foundation, the Nuova Antologia Spadolini Foundation, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong>t’Anna<br />

Cultural research and <strong>di</strong>ssemination<br />
Research in the cultural field has developed on two levels – national and international. The first,<br />
national, focuses on analysing specific cultural areas and their development routes. Of particular<br />
importance are research stu<strong>di</strong>es “Memories of Turin in 1900” by the A. Gramsci Istituto Piedmont,<br />
“Crescendo napoletano: il <strong>di</strong>stretto culturale del Presepe a Napoli” of the Department of Economics
The Parisio Photographic Collection Project - Naples<br />
52<br />
The “Giulio Parisio” collection is the most important and<br />
representative artistic feature of the collections of the<br />
Parisio Historical Archive, an association which seeks to<br />
extend visibility and access to photographic heritage<br />
through the creation of a multi-me<strong>di</strong>a and interactive<br />
catalogue. The collection, made up of 70,000 negatives,<br />
albums and vintage cameras, from the second decade of<br />
the twentieth century to 1985, constitutes one of the most<br />
important photographic sources for the history and Naples<br />
and the South of Italy. The photographic experience of<br />
Giulio Parisio ranges from landscape photography to<br />
futuristic experimentation, anthropological research and<br />
customs to photographs of industry, from artistic portraits<br />
to advertising shots. While the artistic portraits de<strong>di</strong>cated<br />
not only to the royal family and aristocracy, but also great<br />
Neapolitan artists such as Cocchia, Gemito, Irolli and Viti,<br />
represent the production most appreciated by the<br />
Neapolitan middle class, the field in which Parisio most<br />
expresses his quality of photographer-artist is that of the<br />
search avant-garde photography, giving life to<br />
“photographic fearlessness” signed with the pseudonym<br />
Paris. Significant the production in other fields such as<br />
industrial photography with testimony of the industry of<br />
Campana in the between war years, photographs of<br />
landscape and urban transformation, whose use and<br />
potential were partially investigated and anthropological<br />
research and customs. At present, the consultation of the<br />
images is made <strong>di</strong>fficult by the structure of the archive,<br />
made up of negatives on tape and film, mostly large format,<br />
catalogued in alphabetical order by customer or subject.<br />
The project supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> with a grant of<br />
€ 100,000, provides for the creation of a multime<strong>di</strong>a and<br />
interactive archive on CD-Rom, created to guarantee easy<br />
access and enjoyment of the collection, open to students<br />
and researchers for degree theses and multi-<strong>di</strong>sciplinary<br />
investigations.

Historical and Philosophical <strong>di</strong>sciplines<br />
Some prestigious historical-documentary exhibitions are parallel to more specialist research<br />
activities: worthy of mention are exhibitions “Le vetrine del Museo” (The museum showcases)<br />
presented by the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of Turin, and “From the Anti-Jewish<br />
Laws to the Shoah. Seven years of Italian history”, produced in Rome by the C.D.E.C., a Foundation<br />
with patronage of the President of the Italian Republic. Again with the aim of promoting the most<br />
highly qualified work in the historical-philosophical field, was the first e<strong>di</strong>tion of the “Norberto Bobbio<br />
Lectures”, which produced numerous participants. Most significant in this field of interest is the<br />
creation of the Committee for ISPRE – Institute for the History of the Piedmont European Region,<br />
made up of the Turin State Archives, Piedmont Stu<strong>di</strong>es Centre and the <strong>Compagnia</strong>. It will be the<br />
foundations for a wider research programme concentrating on Piedmont and its notable historicalarchive<br />
heritage.

COES- Oncohematologic Subalpin Centre – Oncology translational research project<br />
In particular, in <strong>2004</strong> the activities of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> in the Health sector were focussed on three<br />
subject areas: technological and organisational innovation, specialist areas, and illnesses with<br />
significant social impact. Ad<strong>di</strong>tional contributions other than these fields of interests are awarded<br />
to the Oncology Programme (see the Oncology Programme section).<br />
Technological and organisational innovation<br />
For <strong>2004</strong> The <strong>Compagnia</strong> confirmed its support for the modernisation of research, <strong>di</strong>agnosis and<br />
treatment equipment of health structures. Priority was given to the purchase of innovative<br />
instruments rather than covering or<strong>di</strong>nary equipment, thus avoi<strong>di</strong>ng duplicates and under use<br />
and attentively assessing in<strong>di</strong>rect operating costs for the Health agencies.<br />
The main grants are: the financial contribution to the <strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin to<br />
produce a cyclotron ra<strong>di</strong>o pharmacy structure for the PET Centre, intraoperative ra<strong>di</strong>ation therapy<br />
(IORT) with de<strong>di</strong>cated accelerator, <strong>di</strong>gital ra<strong>di</strong>ological images archive equipment, and the<br />
allocation to the Turin Health District 1 (ASL1) - Eye Hospital to purchase cutting-edge equipment,<br />
unique in the Piedmont region.<br />
55<br />
Specialist areas<br />
On the basis of the Oncology Programme logics and methods, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> focussed its<br />
activities in some priority fields which could eventually give rise to multi-year programmes. In<br />
particular, during <strong>2004</strong> the field of neurosciences saw some initiatives aimed at supporting Turin<br />
skills. Allocation were granted to financing the Department of Clinical Physiopathology of Turin<br />
University for a project of prevention and <strong>di</strong>agnosis of headaches and facial pain in a work<br />
community, with the co-operation of the City of Turin and in particular, the staff of the central<br />
registry.<br />
In the field of transplants, the OIRM <strong>San</strong>t’Anna Hospital in Turin was awarded a grant to refurbish<br />
the manipulation room for car<strong>di</strong>ac valves for pae<strong>di</strong>atric use. Turin also boasts centres of<br />
excellence on a national scale to children related illnesses.

Alongside the field of neurosciences and transplants, urgent and emergency me<strong>di</strong>cine has<br />
played a prominent role in the choices of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>: once again, priority has been given to<br />
enhancing high level skills and improving their structural use. This is true of the grants awarded<br />
CTO/CRF/Maria Adelaide Hospital of Turin for the supply of innovative equipment for emergency<br />
department of Turin hospitals and the research project on in vitro fibroblast cultures in burnt<br />
patients.<br />
56<br />
Diseases with a high social impact<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> attached growing attention to <strong>di</strong>seases of significant socio-health<br />
importance, which accounts for the main causes of death and <strong>di</strong>sease, also in the light of the<br />
increase in the average age of the population.<br />
In the field of car<strong>di</strong>ovascular <strong>di</strong>seases prominence was given to basic and clinical research.<br />
Significant grants were awarded to the Inter-university Consortium for Car<strong>di</strong>ovascular Research of<br />
Bologna (later changed to the National Institute for Car<strong>di</strong>ovascular Research) for the completion<br />
of the research project on myocar<strong>di</strong>al regeneration through stem cells. Another project of<br />
particular relevance in this field was carried out by the Department of Clinical and Experimental<br />
Me<strong>di</strong>cine of the Federico II University of Naples for a study on a European scale (EPICOR) on the<br />
relation between food habits and the incidence of car<strong>di</strong>ovascular events. Finally the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
supported the Health District No. 6 (ASL 6) of Ciriè (Turin) with random multi-centred European<br />
study to assess clinical practices on car<strong>di</strong>opathic patients.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> attached particular attention to oncological illnesses by allocating<br />
considerable resources to the Oncological Programme (see the specific chapter) and favouring<br />
above all research grants. In this respect, the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s support was destined to: the National<br />
Institute for the Study and Treatment of Tumours in Milan for the Erocare4 project, aimed at<br />
monitoring survival and treatment schemes to affected subjects In Europe; the Department of<br />
Clinical Physiopathology of Turin University to follow the DNA Vaccines project for the prevention

PET-CT Centre: Cyclotron and Ra<strong>di</strong>ochemistry and Ra<strong>di</strong>o Pharmacy Laboratory<br />
<strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital, Turin<br />
PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography - Computed<br />
Tomography) is a non–invasive <strong>di</strong>agnostic imaging<br />
system based on the use of ra<strong>di</strong>oactive tracers which,<br />
incorporated within complex molecules, are<br />
administered to the patient. The significance and the<br />
amount of the <strong>di</strong>stribution of the tracers inside the human<br />
body get detailed metabolic-functional information on<br />
biochemical processes which regulate the “state of<br />
health” or the onset of illness.<br />
PET is a valid <strong>di</strong>agnosis tool in oncology, car<strong>di</strong>ology and<br />
neurology. In particular, in oncology PET represents a<br />
valid option both for documenting metastases in a single<br />
examination and to <strong>di</strong>stinguish between recurrent<br />
tumour and ra<strong>di</strong>ation necrosis.<br />
The benefits of PET firstly relate to the quality of<br />
assistance to the patient, with less painful, risky,<br />
traumatising or invasive <strong>di</strong>agnostic procedures, and<br />
reducing patients exposure to ionising ra<strong>di</strong>ation of<br />
artificial origin. Another benefit of PET is cost<br />
containment, thanks to the reduction of <strong>di</strong>agnostic<br />
procedures, a more precise staging of the illness and the<br />
improvement of the <strong>di</strong>agnoses reliability.<br />
One estimate on the epidemiological data and the<br />
evidence of PET impact has shown the need for Piedmont<br />
in 7,000 tests per year in the start up stage and 15,000<br />
tests per year working at full capacity.<br />
In the light of those considerations, the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
granted an award of € 2.5 million in 2002 for the<br />
purchase of PET equipment, and € 6 million in <strong>2004</strong> for<br />
the production of a Cyclotron-Ra<strong>di</strong>o Pharmacy structure<br />
suitable for the <strong>di</strong>stribution of the ra<strong>di</strong>otracer FDG.<br />
The PET Centre of the <strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in<br />
Turin (Molinette) will be made up of: a PET scanner<br />
<strong>di</strong>splaying the spatial <strong>di</strong>stribution of the ra<strong>di</strong>otracers<br />
subject to <strong>di</strong>agnostic examination; a cyclotron (the only<br />
one in the Province of Turin), for the production of ra<strong>di</strong>o<br />
nuclides for PET <strong>di</strong>agnosis, in clinical activities and<br />
applied research, and the provision of FDG to other Turin<br />
health facilities; a ra<strong>di</strong>o chemistry-ra<strong>di</strong>o pharmacy<br />
laboratory to produce the ra<strong>di</strong>otracers.<br />
The ra<strong>di</strong>ochemistry - ra<strong>di</strong>o pharmacy laboratory will be<br />
equipped for the production and the quality control of the<br />
ra<strong>di</strong>otracers produced for PET <strong>di</strong>agnosis, respecting the<br />
regulation in force on the subject.<br />
The presence of a <strong>di</strong>agnostic service at <strong>San</strong> Giovanni<br />
Battista Hospital of Turin which does not depend on third<br />
party production services for ra<strong>di</strong>otracers will allow the<br />
Hospital to <strong>di</strong>stribute the ra<strong>di</strong>otracer FDG to various<br />
users in the Turin area. It will also allow to perform PET<br />
tests with ra<strong>di</strong>otracers other than FDG, planning high<br />
profile research activities, also thanks to the university<br />
context and the existing network of scientific relations.<br />

of carcinomas; to the Oncological Study and Prevention Centre in Florence, to continue a project<br />
on the immuno-depressive effects of chemical, physical and biological agents.<br />
As far as illness in childhood and in the elderly are concerned, in <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
concentrated its activities on the most recurrent illnesses affecting young people and the elderly.<br />
Particular attention is given to psychic <strong>di</strong>sturbances connected to food habits: in this respect,<br />
grants were allocated to the department of Neurosciences of Turin University for a research<br />
project on the <strong>di</strong>agnosis, prevention and treatment of eating <strong>di</strong>sorders and to create a Pilot Centre<br />
for the treatment and prevention of eating <strong>di</strong>sorders at the <strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin.<br />
In the field of illnesses affecting the elderly, in ad<strong>di</strong>tion to Parkinson’s <strong>di</strong>sease and Alzheimer’s<br />
<strong>di</strong>sease, particular attention has for some time been given to <strong>di</strong>abetes, which strikes ever larger<br />
population groups and also has serious repercussions on costs for the National Health Services.<br />
In particular, in <strong>2004</strong>, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> awarded grants in favour of: the Centre for Inter<strong>di</strong>sciplinary<br />
Research on Auto-immune <strong>di</strong>seases of Novara, the research on genetic and serological factors<br />
connected to <strong>di</strong>abetes; the Department of Internal me<strong>di</strong>cine of the University of Turin; the<br />
Department of Metabolic Illnesses and Diabetology of Health District No. 1 (ASL 1) of Turin and the<br />

Car<strong>di</strong>ovascular illnesses still represent the main mortality<br />
cause in western countries: in Italy 44% of deaths can be<br />
related to car<strong>di</strong>opathic illnesses.<br />
As regards determinant car<strong>di</strong>ovascular illnesses, the<br />
literature in<strong>di</strong>cates clinical con<strong>di</strong>tions among the<br />
principal risk factors (heightened cholesterol levels and<br />
arterial blood pressure, <strong>di</strong>abetes mellitus, excess weight<br />
and obesity) largely due to lifestyle (food habits and lack<br />
of physical activity) or to unhealthy habits (smoking).<br />
The EPICOR project has carried out an epidemiological<br />
study on nutrition and car<strong>di</strong>ovascular illness, lea<strong>di</strong>ng to<br />
original results (ATENA Project).<br />
The research purpose, coor<strong>di</strong>nated by the Department of<br />
Clinical and Experimental Me<strong>di</strong>cine of Federico II<br />
University of Naples, is the fine tuning of instruments of<br />
risk assessment of car<strong>di</strong>ovascular events in relation to<br />
<strong>di</strong>et on a national and European scale. This will lead to<br />
develop the car<strong>di</strong>ovascular section of the international<br />
project EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into<br />
Cancer and Nutrition), coor<strong>di</strong>nated by International<br />
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of Lyon, involving<br />
23 research centres in 10 European countries. The project<br />
goals are the following: risk estimate for major and minor<br />
car<strong>di</strong>ovascular events related to food habits in the adult<br />
population and both sexes in Italy, between the end of the<br />
1990s and the beginning of 2000; the production of a<br />
computerised data collection tool on car<strong>di</strong>ovascular<br />
illness and death, to be used for post-hoc validation of the<br />
<strong>di</strong>agnoses in the illness and death archives, available on<br />
the Italian health computer systems (schedule of hospital<br />
<strong>di</strong>scharges); the transfer into a format with compatible<br />
procedures adaptable to other countries, to put data<br />
collection on a European scale. The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has<br />
resolved to earmark € 390,000 to this project.

Ischemic hearth <strong>di</strong>sease is among the lea<strong>di</strong>ng causes of<br />
mortality in industrialised countries. The tissue necrosis<br />
following the ischemic event determines a decrease in the<br />
number and functioning of the car<strong>di</strong>ac muscle cells in the<br />
affected area. The aim of cell transplant strategy is to<br />
increase the number of vital heart cells in the infarcted<br />
area.<br />
Donation of cells by healthy donors to infarct sufferers<br />
still encounters serious technical problems and<br />
incompatibility, whereas the use of peripheral blood stem<br />
cells on the same patient, and the interventions to<br />
mobilise stem cells in the heart or the bone marrow can be<br />
an alternative to donor transplants. Stem cells could<br />
become valid option for cell therapy of the car<strong>di</strong>opathic<br />
tissue for they inhibit rejection risk and do not raise<br />
ethical problems.<br />
National Institute for Car<strong>di</strong>ovascular Research – Bologna<br />
Interuniversity Consortium (INRI-CI) is set to promote<br />
Scientific Research and technology and knowledge<br />

possible through enhanced participation of the<br />
universities in the consortium – inclu<strong>di</strong>ng Turin<br />
University – to scientific activities in the car<strong>di</strong>ovascular<br />
field, in agreement with national and international<br />
programmes to which Italy is committed.<br />
The mission of the Institute is to coor<strong>di</strong>nate the research<br />
of its operational units, to allow the most rational use of<br />
resources and equipment and to foster popularisation of<br />
the fin<strong>di</strong>ngs. The project funded by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Paolo</strong> with € 700,000 in <strong>2004</strong> – plus € 680,000<br />
allocated in previous years – aims at highlighting the<br />
main ex vivo growth and maturity stages of stem cells,<br />
with particular attention to spin-offs for research on<br />
clinical practice.<br />

Alongside these illnesses, other strike dramatically in the developing countries. In the field of<br />
health cooperation the <strong>Compagnia</strong> intervenes accor<strong>di</strong>ng to two criteria: 1) focusing on projects<br />
within international programmes, endeavouring to fight illnesses such as malaria and tuberculosis<br />
2) bolstering capacity buil<strong>di</strong>ng and supporting targeted equipment in Italy, in particular in Turin. In<br />
this field the grants to Médecins sans Frontières in Rome for the programme on fight against<br />
tuberculosis in Guinea (see the specific box) and in favour of the Milan Foundation Ivo De Carneri,<br />
for a training project for Italian and foreign tropical <strong>di</strong>seases operators. Other grants were<br />
awarded to the Department of Genetics, Biology and Biochemistry of Turin University for a<br />
research project on malaria, the Department of Social Policies and the Family of the Piedmont<br />
Region and the Alma Terra Turin Association for a tumour screening programme in the Zenica<br />
Canton, Bosnia.<br />

Prevention and research on eating <strong>di</strong>sorders<br />
Eating <strong>di</strong>sorders, in particular anorexia nervosa and<br />
bulimia nervosa involve serious somatic damage, with a<br />
risk of mortality twelve times higher than unaffected<br />
subjects of the same sage, hence the social and health<br />
attention they deserve in all developed countries,<br />
inclu<strong>di</strong>ng Italy. In Piedmont eating <strong>di</strong>sorders risk subjects<br />
number approximately 700,000. Every year between 180<br />
and 360 new cases of anorexia nervosa are recorded, plus<br />
between 360 and 550 of bulimia. The grant of € 600,000<br />
awarded by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> in <strong>2004</strong> to the Pilot Centre for<br />
the Treatment, Prevention and Research into Eating<br />
Disorders of the <strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin is<br />
intended to improve and enhance the clinical assistance<br />
activity already underway (day hospital and day service<br />
assistance, psychomotricity and physiotherapy, <strong>di</strong>etary<br />
rehabilitation, art therapy workshops).<br />
Thanks to the vicinity of the Department of Clinical<br />
Nutrition, this allocation will lead to the creation of a<br />
unique facility in the Piedmont public health service.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> a grant of € 490,000 was awarded in favour of the<br />
Department of Neurosciences of Turin University to fund a<br />
research project on the <strong>di</strong>agnosis, prevention and<br />
treatment of eating <strong>di</strong>sorders, in connection with the future<br />
activities of the abovementioned Pilot Centre.

people in danger, victims of epidemics, wars or natural<br />
<strong>di</strong>sasters.<br />
The € 250,000 grant awarded in <strong>2004</strong> by the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
aimed at supporting the continuation of the project to fight<br />
tuberculosis (TBC) in Guinea financed in 2002 and 2003.<br />
In Guinea tuberculosis is currently one of the major health<br />
problems, aggravated by the emergency caused by AIDS.<br />
MSF first aims at reducing the illness and deaths caused<br />
by tuberculosis. In particular it is set to increase the<br />
number of centres de<strong>di</strong>cated to the management of TBC,<br />
allowing decentralization in the two reference regions of<br />
Conakry and Moyenne Guinée. In <strong>2004</strong> the responsibility<br />
of the National Plan for the Fight against Tuberculosis will<br />
be handed over to local authorities: this will involve<br />
monitoring activity by the MSF personnel in order to ease<br />
the transfer of me<strong>di</strong>cal treatments, the me<strong>di</strong>cines and<br />
laboratories management, and the spread of awareness<br />
raising campaign in the population.

Assistance to socially deprived categories<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> supports the “Fabbrica Scuola” project of the Cooperative “l’Arca” Ivrea (Turin),<br />
for the vocational training of people experiencing <strong>di</strong>fficulties.<br />
Accor<strong>di</strong>ng to the programme guidelines for <strong>2004</strong>, the activities of the Assistance Sector have<br />
pursued the objective of gui<strong>di</strong>ng the <strong>Compagnia</strong> interventions, hitherto targeting vulnerable<br />
groups, to pinpoint cross-cutting needs.<br />
In order to optimise resources and to foster cooperation between social-work-related bo<strong>di</strong>es, a<br />
significant part of the activities in this sector has once again been devoted to local network<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng to come up with efficient and effective solutions to serious social impact issues. These<br />
interventions have promoted the interaction between various local actors in specific spheres.<br />
Moreover, they have contributed to enhance the experience of all the actors involved, encouraging<br />
knowledge sharing and allowing the application of new operational models.<br />
The main areas of intervention and relative fields of interest on which operations have been carried<br />
out in <strong>2004</strong> are as follows:<br />
- home care (assistance in the home and in residential centres for Alzheimer’s sufferers);<br />
- support during the formative years (with particular reference to support for parenthood, activities<br />
of youth aggregation and juvenile deviancy);<br />
-programmes for social autonomy (with particular reference to phenomena of ad<strong>di</strong>ction,<br />
psychiatric and mental <strong>di</strong>sease, foreign immigrants and other people in <strong>di</strong>fficulty and prison<br />
problems).<br />
The activity of <strong>2004</strong> was <strong>di</strong>rected prevalently at the Piedmont area, with particular attention to the<br />
Turin metropolitan area, Genoa, Liguria and Southern Italy.<br />
63<br />
Home Assistance<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> home care policies aimed at the improvement/maintenance of the quality of life of non-self<br />
sufficient persons were a primary objective of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>. This attention is a consequence of<br />
the positive effects of these policies on the family unit.<br />
Those concerned are in particular, the non-self sufficient elderly or with limited self-sufficiency,<br />
those suffering from cancer or other serious illnesses at an advanced stage and the <strong>di</strong>sabled.<br />
The affective value that the home holds for the elderly patient is a fundamental asset to guarantee<br />
an adequate quality of life and the stabilization of their remaining capacities. In this context the<br />
support agreed for the continuation of the ADPO project (Post-hospital Home Care) plays a<br />
considerable role. It targets the elderly experiencing hardship <strong>di</strong>scharged from Turin hospitals<br />
and in need of monitored convalescence, and it helps them to recover self-sufficiency. In an effort<br />
to avoid uprooting the elderly patient from home, Day Centres have been created for non-
sufficient old people.<br />
In relation to cancer or other severe illnesses, in <strong>2004</strong> particular attention was given to free of<br />
charge home-based complete care schemes. The growing social impact of senile dementia and<br />
Alzheimer’s <strong>di</strong>sease has set a priority to follow a supportive policy to build residential homes or<br />
specialised day care centres with suitable facilities to treat these patients.<br />
In its commitment for <strong>di</strong>sabled people, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> supports the creation of social-therapy<br />
centres for day care aimed at the maintenance/recuperation of remaining capabilities, such as to<br />
guarantee a sufficient level of self-sufficiency and not to uproot these people from their homes.<br />
Support to the age of development<br />
The field of interest “Support to the age of development” is principally aimed at enhancing the<br />
educational role of the family as well as initiatives in favour of children and young people, with a<br />
preventive approach towards hardship.<br />
With regard to childhood, the most significant projects deal with services for the very young and<br />
support parents and families. These objectives have been achieved with the City of Turin through<br />
the experimentation of family micro-nurseries and with funds for a call for proposals of crèches to<br />
be announced in 2005.<br />
Still concerning childhood, an initiative was launched to develop and popularise at a national level<br />
the me<strong>di</strong>cal guidelines for recognition and treatment in cases of sexual abuse on minors. Also in<br />
A.D.P.O. network project – Post hospital home care<br />
for the elderly experiencing hardship - Turin<br />
64<br />
With the aim of offering temporary support to elderly<br />
people in the Turin area <strong>di</strong>scharged from hospital and to<br />
help them to recover their self sufficiency, the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
has been supporting an integrated post hospital home<br />
care project since 2000, in collaboration with other Turin<br />
metropolitan area authorities: charity institution, a social<br />
cooperative and the Health services.<br />
The project targets over 65’s, living in Turin and who have<br />
been <strong>di</strong>scharged from the hospitals Giovanni Bosco,<br />
Martini, Mauriziano Umberto I and Maria Vittoria - Birago<br />
<strong>di</strong> Vische. These health centres can provide home<br />
me<strong>di</strong>cal and sanitary assistance to old patients. The<br />
beneficiaries must comply with a set of criteria ranging<br />
from personal autonomy capacity, social context, living<br />
con<strong>di</strong>tions and income.<br />
The charity institutions and the social cooperative<br />
provide up to 60 days home care services through social<br />
and friendship support activities to the patient and his<br />
family, basic home care assistance, supplementing basic<br />
home care assistance with the local services, transport<br />
and accompaniment to me<strong>di</strong>cal appointments by<br />
ambulance, physiotherapy, hair dressing and pe<strong>di</strong>cure<br />
services, nursing care on Saturdays and Sundays; a<br />
telephone helpline service for up to 90 days;<br />
stay/convalescence in health resorts for up to 14 days.<br />
One <strong>di</strong>stinctive characteristic of the project is the service<br />
delivery promptness (48 to 72 hours starting from<br />
<strong>di</strong>scharge from hospital). From the beginning of the<br />
project in May 2000 up to the 31st of October <strong>2004</strong>, 671<br />
old patients have benefited from this service.<br />
The cost supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> for the period May<br />
2000 - April 2005 amounted to € 1.8 million.

Auxilium Foundation, Genoa. “La Casetta”(little house) hosting the homeless.<br />
<strong>2004</strong> grants were awarded to create accommodation centres for single mothers with children,<br />
provi<strong>di</strong>ng a shelter for single-women in con<strong>di</strong>tions of severe social hardship, and offering them<br />
gradual social reintegration to retrieve autonomy both at home and in the workplace.<br />
As regards adolescents and young people, particular attention was attached to the creation of<br />
meeting places, where ad hoc educational and youth personality development programmes are<br />
carried out. The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has pursued its support to YEPP – Youth Empowerment Partnership<br />
Programme and other programmes which, apart from involving young people, try to offer better<br />
development opportunities, for example, in suburban areas affected by hardship. Grants have<br />
also been resolved for projects of social integration of adolescents and young people at risk of<br />
deviance.<br />

Pathways to social autonomy<br />
The transition from a merely “welfare” logic to self-sufficiency and social-professional reintegration<br />
programmes was at the crux of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s activities in <strong>2004</strong>; these objectives are very<br />
challenging as they require assets, resources and services (firstly home, work and social life),<br />
usually hard to find. The complexity of the inherent issue calls for adequate synergies stemming<br />
from a concerted action between stakeholders involved in the initiative.<br />
In this field of interests the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has centred its efforts on:<br />
- ad<strong>di</strong>ction, favouring interventions following community integration, focusing on rehabilitation<br />
courses with training, occupational activities, internships or work scholarships;<br />
- psychiatric <strong>di</strong>sorder and <strong>di</strong>stress, with two objectives: firstly, to encourage professional
The logo of the “Microni<strong>di</strong> familiari” project<br />
reintegration of <strong>di</strong>sabled people, special services, employment workshops, information and<br />
support activities; secondly, to tackle mental <strong>di</strong>stress through a network project for the promotion<br />
of mental health in Turin (the Bandolo), with the Department of Mental Health of Local Heath<br />
District (ASL) of Turin and six charities with relevant experience in this area;<br />
- foreign immigrants and other persons experiencing hardship: training courses and social and<br />
professional rehabilitation courses have been organised, in particular for sex slave trade or<br />
vulnerable women, asylum seekers and highly marginalised groups.<br />
The project Microcre<strong>di</strong>to Sociale (Small loans scheme) has been maintained to foster bank loan<br />
granting to people whose access to cre<strong>di</strong>t is impaired owing to their social con<strong>di</strong>tions and/or<br />
economic situation, to bolster their employability and/or entrepreneurship<br />
- prison problems: the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has pledged to sustain the University Centre for inmates of the<br />
“Lorusso e Cutugno” Penitentiary. Some training workshops have been organised to enhance<br />
capacity buil<strong>di</strong>ng likely to be used at the end of the prison term; other initiatives have targeted<br />
people leaving prison through the network project Logos, to offer former prisoners educational,<br />
training and work opportunities, to rebuild their lives on a legitimate footing.<br />
Family Micro-nurseries<br />
66<br />
The family micro-nurseries project is intended to be an<br />
educational service for the very young. It is a new and<br />
flexible tool to encourage aggregation and mutual support<br />
between families with common bonds of neighbourliness<br />
or friendship.<br />
The project was launched by the City of Turin as an<br />
experiment in 1999, and it has been refined in <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
Voluntary families offer child care services in their own<br />
homes or in other adequate facilities, to a maximum of four<br />
children (inclu<strong>di</strong>ng those of the host mother) for up to 5<br />
consecutive hours a day, for a maximum of 30 hours a<br />
week. The City council has chosen approximately ten nonprofit<br />
organisations through a call for applications. The<br />
prerequisites for the application were previous experience<br />
in the service sector for the very young as well as the<br />
educational and activities proposals for the new micronurseries.<br />
The child care providers also have to promote<br />
better time-management , to enhance childcare education<br />
for mothers, to update trainers, to provide pedagogical<br />
and organisational advice, to monitor the activities and are<br />
responsible for the reception centres and the<br />
administrative specifications of the programme. The City<br />
of Turin finances and coor<strong>di</strong>nates the project and is in<br />
charge of the evaluation. The participation of the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> in this project is part of parenthood<br />
responsibilities support activities. It stems from the<br />
innovation-driven character of the initiative, from the<br />
efficiency of the system brought about by the City of Turin,<br />
who has been able to match flexibility with the <strong>di</strong>rect<br />
involvement of the families, getting a high-quality service.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the project “Family Micro-nurseries” was funded<br />
with a grant of € 232,000 by the <strong>Compagnia</strong>.

Professional training at the “La piazza dei mestieri” youth centre<br />
La “Piazza dei Mestieri”<br />
The “Piazza dei Mestieri” is a Turin meeting and training<br />
centre for young people that opened in the autumn of <strong>2004</strong><br />
in an early 20th century renovated factory. The name of the<br />
centre is inspired by the presence of a central courtyard<br />
that, similarly to ancient courtyards, was used to gather<br />
people, experiences and activities.<br />
The centre – with an estimated 2,000 young people<br />
attendance per year – offers the possibility of fin<strong>di</strong>ng work<br />
to young people who have dropped out of school. At the<br />
same time, adolescents and young adults can attend wider<br />
educational programs allowing them to experience a<br />
positive approach to life and to appreciate their own talents<br />
through the introduction to art, music and taste.<br />
Since 2003 the project “Piazza dei Mestieri” has received<br />
a total of € 1.4 million by the <strong>Compagnia</strong>.
Il Bandolo – insieme per sciogliere I no<strong>di</strong> del <strong>di</strong>sagio mentale<br />
(together to unravel the knots of mental <strong>di</strong>sease)<br />
www.ilbandolo.org<br />
68<br />
Mental illness is a constantly growing and sprea<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
phenomena that strikes across <strong>di</strong>fferent strata of the<br />
population, even younger generations.<br />
The project “The Bandolo – together to unravel the knots<br />
of mental <strong>di</strong>sease” is promoted by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Paolo</strong> with the partnership of the Mental Health<br />
Departments of the ASL (Public Health Districts) of Turin<br />
and six Turin charity institutions with sound experience in<br />
this field: Associazione per la Lotta contro le Malattie<br />
Mentali, Casa Bor<strong>di</strong>no, Di.A.Psi. Piemonte - Difesa<br />
Ammalati Psichici, Associazione Insieme, Associazione<br />
Evoluzione Self Help and Associazione Arcobaleno. They<br />
all participate on an equal footing and supplement their<br />
activities through an active and comprehensive network<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng approach. The initiative has the patronage of the<br />
Piedmont Region, the Province of Turin and the City of<br />
Turin.<br />
Il Bandolo addresses Turin adults and their families,<br />
experiencing situations of hardship due to mental illness<br />
that impairs their interpersonal and social relationships<br />
capacity.<br />
An imme<strong>di</strong>ate psychological aid is supplied by way of the<br />
telephone helpline 011.2302727 (every day from 10 am to<br />
10 pm); where necessary, a team of specialists<br />
(psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers) or<br />
representatives of partner associations intervene.<br />
Firstly, psychiatrists are available for interviews at the<br />
project’s headquarters to outline a clinical intervention<br />
programme (if appropriate) to be carried out by the<br />
competent Mental Health Departments. Secondly, partner<br />
Associations can provide social accompaniment in<br />
various instances: helping people in their daily lives,<br />
provi<strong>di</strong>ng the families with information from a specific<br />
office, organising temporary residential care in residential<br />
homes, with social and professional rehabilitation<br />
activities, and facilitating psycho-educational courses<br />
and mutual help groups for families.<br />
To carry out this project, which started last November, in<br />
<strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong> allocated a grant of € 100,000 (as<br />
well as a total contribution of € 1.3 million awarded in<br />
2003).<br />
Thanks to the work of voluntary workers and qualified<br />
personnel, the Bandolo hopes to counter the preju<strong>di</strong>ce that<br />
still exists towards the mentally ill, proving that they can<br />
have a normal social life, that can be improved by a safety<br />
network. With its activities the Bandolo aims at<br />
formalising the tra<strong>di</strong>tionally concealed status of these<br />
groups.

GASU – Gruppo Aziendale <strong>di</strong> Solidarietà Umana <strong>San</strong>paolo Imi Onlus - Genoa<br />
(Corporate Group for Human Solidarity – <strong>San</strong>paolo Imi Onlus)<br />
GASU is a group of voluntary workers, formed in Genoa in<br />
May 1982 made up of personnel in service or retired from<br />
the branches of the Banca <strong>San</strong>paolo Imi in the Genoa<br />
metropolitan area, with the participation of approximately<br />
250 people. In that area the Group manages activities<br />
which in many aspects are similar to those of the Ufficio Pio<br />
in the Turin metropolitan area.<br />
The work is performed from the point of view of support<br />
<strong>di</strong>rected at the reinsertion and the gradual attainment of<br />
self-sufficiency by the beneficiaries and set out in two<br />
separate levels.<br />
On the level of welfare activities, the Group provides<br />
continuous or occasional assistance to family units<br />
experiencing hardship; the beneficiaries of the operations<br />
are low-income families. The organisation also deals with<br />
the allocation of training/work experience bursaries to<br />
unemployed in<strong>di</strong>gent persons to regain occupation. In<br />
order to have access to work-scholarships the income of<br />
the family unit of the person involved must be under the<br />
income parameter established by the City of Genoa.
Special reserves for voluntary services<br />
Accor<strong>di</strong>ng to art.15 of enabling law n.266/1991 on voluntary services and successive<br />
Ministerial Decrees, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> annually sets aside funds for the creation of special regional<br />
reserves for voluntary services. Special funds are administered by ad hoc managing committees and<br />
are available to Service Centres established to support and qualify voluntary activities. Service<br />
Centres in turn perform their functions offering support services for voluntary service organisations.<br />
A part of these resources is earmarked for the Special Reserve for Voluntary Services in Piedmont,<br />
where the foundation is based.<br />
In the <strong>2004</strong> balance sheet accor<strong>di</strong>ng to provisions it was decided to earmark approximately<br />
6.3 million € for Special Reserves established in the following regions:<br />
Piedmont € 3,987,136<br />
Liguria € 631,000<br />
Molise € 530,000<br />
Campania € 400,000<br />
Basilicata € 365,000<br />
Calabria € 100,000<br />
Puglia € 100,000<br />
Sicilia € 100,000<br />
Sardegna € 100,000<br />
70<br />
A further conservative amount of around € 6.3 million was allocated and not apportioned, while<br />
awaiting the definition of the regulatory framework in relation to the decision, issued by the Regional<br />
Administrative Tribunal of Lazio, suspen<strong>di</strong>ng the provision made by the Guideline Deed of the<br />
Ministry of the Treasury of 19 April 2001, concerning the methods for the calculation of these types of<br />
grants.

Oncology Programme<br />
72<br />
In April <strong>2004</strong> the “Oncology Programme”, launched by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> at the beginning<br />
of 2001, reached completion. The overall sum allocated to the Programme over a period of 4 years<br />
amounts to over 51 million euros. The multi-year programme has achieved important objectives in<br />
the clinical/scientific field and in strengthening the healthcare system’s structural equipment and<br />
facilities. The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s Oncology Programme’s final objective was to safeguard the health and<br />
well-being of citizens. The operational units’ qualifications upgra<strong>di</strong>ng, in particular in the Piedmont<br />
region, the identification of centres of excellence on an international scale, together with an<br />
effective meeting of basic and specialised needs, above all at regional level, were also identified as<br />
interme<strong>di</strong>ate goals. The implementation of guidelines for cooperation among actors has received<br />
particular attention, with a view to avoi<strong>di</strong>ng waste of resources caused by duplication or by a failure<br />
to comply with adequate scope thresholds. The <strong>Compagnia</strong>, in accordance with its Articles of<br />
Association, appointed a “comitato tecnico <strong>di</strong> valutazione – CTV” (technical evaluation committee),<br />
in charge of evaluating and monitoring all projects presented to the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, in ad<strong>di</strong>tion to<br />
supporting the development and implementation of the Oncology Programme itself. Within the<br />
framework of the Programme, particular significance was attached to the call for proposals<br />
(September 2001), with resources amounting to over 20 million euros to be awarded to Italian and<br />
foreign non – profit organisations for projects in three main sectors, namely:<br />
- Research in the various phases of specialisation, experimentation, the circulation of results and<br />
the life – long training of staff (known as “Experimental research and training”)<br />
- District and Hospital activities focusing on prevention, both as far as <strong>di</strong>agnosis and subsequent<br />
cancer treatment are concerned (known as “Prevention, <strong>di</strong>agnosis and treatment)<br />
- The purchase of innovative equipment and the creation of specialised structures of excellence, for<br />
treatment and research (“Facilities and technological equipment”).<br />
By December 2001, when the call for proposals was closed, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> had received 182<br />
applications, with an approximate total request for funds amounting to 118 million euros. Funds<br />
were awarded to 54 projects, 21 of which presented by Piedmont’s structures.<br />
Among the initiatives funded by the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, some are markedly significant, and noteworthy for<br />
having contributed to underpin one of the two main clinical/scientific poles in the Turin area<br />
(Molinette and Can<strong>di</strong>olo). The initiatives are:<br />
- The creation of the Centro <strong>di</strong> Ricerca in Me<strong>di</strong>cina Sperimentale - CERMS (Research Centre in<br />
Experimental Me<strong>di</strong>cine) dealing with translational research - which obtained the most<br />
considerable sum (3 million euros), within the framework of the Programme’s call for proposals<br />
- The creation of a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) centre, a Cyclotron and a ra<strong>di</strong>ochemical/<br />
ra<strong>di</strong>opharmaceutical laboratory at the <strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin (also known as<br />
Molinette Hospital);<br />
- The completion of a buil<strong>di</strong>ng for the Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro <strong>di</strong> Can<strong>di</strong>olo<br />
(Piedmont Foundation for Research on Cancer) that will host in-patients of the IRCC (Cancer<br />

bo<strong>di</strong>es, but also took a proactive stance on themes such as technological innovation and the<br />
importance of knowledge and awareness of specific needs in the oncological field, first and<br />
foremost on Piedmont’s regional territory. Within the context of oncology-related technological<br />
innovation and particularly of Molecular Imaging-related issues, in November 2002 The<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> organised an internal seminar on the technical-scientific and management-related<br />
aspects of PET.<br />
The meeting was attended by Italian experts, Piedmont’s lea<strong>di</strong>ng hospitals’ general managers, and<br />
health sector’s regional representatives. As underlined during the event, the creation of a PET-CT<br />
<strong>di</strong>agnostic instruments’ network is vital in many respects, for treatment centres, <strong>di</strong>agnosis,<br />
prevention and research.<br />
In order to respond to the need for knowledge-buil<strong>di</strong>ng tools, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> laid upon the G.Prato<br />
Economic and Financial Sciences Department of Turin University the task of submitting a <strong>report</strong><br />
under the title “Oncological Assistance in Piedmont: Problems and Perspectives” published in July<br />
2003 in the “Quaderni della <strong>Compagnia</strong>” collection. The study, widely echoed through the me<strong>di</strong>a,<br />
painted a comprehensive picture of oncological assistance demand and supply in the region,<br />
analysing the sensitive issue of patients’ mobility in the case of patients resi<strong>di</strong>ng in Piedmont.<br />
Among the most remarkable Oncology Programme-related initiatives financed by the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
in the course of <strong>2004</strong>, some are certainly worth recalling: the completion of the PET-CT project in<br />
<strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin; the support given by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> in favour of the<br />
“Metabolic Ra<strong>di</strong>otherapy” project, at the University-Directed Complex Structure for Ra<strong>di</strong>otherapy of<br />
<strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin; the “Experiment of a Rapid System for Collecting and<br />
Circulating Data on Cancer Survival Rate” of the ISS, Italian Higher Health Institute; the prosecution<br />
of a project on “Innovative Therapies for the Era<strong>di</strong>cation of Lymphatic Cancer” of the University<br />
Hematology Operational Unit of <strong>San</strong> Giovanni Battista Hospital; the “Study on Circulating<br />
Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Pancreatic Cancer” of the Clinical Physiopathology Department of<br />
Turin University.<br />
The Oncology Programme has been a very important experience to the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, both for the<br />
amount of resources it has allocated, and for the methodological and operational instruments it has<br />
been able to develop. The rich experience it has acquired will prove extremely useful already in<br />
2005, when new me<strong>di</strong>cal and scientific programmes will be launched. However, the completion of<br />
the Oncology Programme certainly does not mark the end of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s activity in the field;<br />
on the contrary, in the years to come initiatives will focus on biome<strong>di</strong>cal research and prevention.<br />

Turin’s Museum Programme<br />
Programmes play a central role in the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s activity framework. The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
guidelines for establishing procedures and criteria to pursue its institutional objectives, define<br />
programmes as a “coor<strong>di</strong>nated and integrated approach aimed at one or more objectives consistent<br />
with the <strong>Compagnia</strong> aims, developing a cross-sector approach when required. Lasting several<br />
years, these programmes include integrating <strong>di</strong>rectly managed initiatives (inclu<strong>di</strong>ng promoting or<br />
participating in instrumental organisations, legal persons or consortia, etc), with support to projects<br />
and institutional support to external organisations’ activities”.<br />
This provided the theoretical background for launching the Programme to develop a Museum District<br />
in Turin’s city centre. Established at the end of 2000, the Programme is the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s chief tool in<br />
fostering the process of urban, cultural, economic and social transformation that the city of Turin set<br />
out years ago in order to regain its status as arts capital. In this context, the notion of “museum<br />
<strong>di</strong>strict” embraces the idea of a coor<strong>di</strong>nated set of initiatives and relevant agreement between<br />
everyone involved in the transformation process of the city area identified as “zona <strong>di</strong> comando” (the<br />
District of Savoy Government). It is a historic and artistic site deserving to be incorporated into a<br />
whole and adequately enhanced museum system.<br />
The start up phase was centred around setting up a “museums development plan”, which aimed at<br />
both determining criteria and priorities, as well as establishing a framework of shared values and<br />
commitments both locally and nationally.<br />
The programme is organised into six main areas, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng some well defined specific<br />
characteristics. It aims at emphasising each monument’s historic importance through real recovery<br />
action as well as stressing their outstan<strong>di</strong>ng features and <strong>di</strong>strict-relevant character. Management<br />
tools and common standards for museums will be used capable of keeping up with innovation and<br />
meeting the needs voiced by today’s society.<br />
The six areas are respectively:<br />
- the area of the Roman Gates (Porte Palatine), the Museo <strong>di</strong> Antichità and archaeological park with<br />
itineraries of the Roman past;<br />
- Palazzo Reale (the Royal Palace) and the Royal Gardens, Palazzo Chiablese and “Manica Nuova”<br />
(the new wing), the future home of the Galleria Sabauda (Savoy Art Gallery);<br />
- Cavallerizza Reale (the Royal Ri<strong>di</strong>ng School): new opportunities for exposition areas, which could<br />
be integrated with the Royal Palace;<br />
- The via Po and piazza Vittorio Veneto area, in collaboration with the National Cinema Museum pole;<br />
- Palazzo dell’Accademia delle Scienze with the atmospheres and culture of Ancient Egypt- the<br />
Egyptian Museum being hosted in the Palace;<br />
- Palazzo Carignano with itineraries of the Italian Risorgimento and Guarini’s baroque architecture.<br />
75<br />
Taking into consideration the complexity and considerable financial commitment entailed by the<br />
Programme between 2000-<strong>2004</strong>, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> has set aside over 46 million euros to create an<br />
endowment fund, using over 86% of resources currently allocated for specific projects.<br />
During the year, in ad<strong>di</strong>tion to supporting the rehabilitation and enhancement of Turin’s prestigious<br />
Accademia delle Scienze historic premises, major efforts have also been put into instituting the<br />
Fondazione Museo delle Antichità Egizie (Egyptian Museum Foundation). It was therefore able to

implement a new cultural heritage management model, as in art.10 of legislative decree n° 368.<br />
The Foundation exists thanks to cooperation between the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and<br />
Activities, Piedmont Regional Authorities, the Province of Turin, the CRT Foundation and the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> itself, which awarded the project 25 million euros. This accounts for 50% of the overall<br />
in<strong>di</strong>cative budget to be allocated for the enlargement and reorganisation of exhibition spaces in the<br />
museum’s historic home. The Foundation is the only example in Italy of private sector involvement in<br />
the management of a public museum. This concept took root over time and with the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
commitment and contribution has led to a new institutional model. Its primary aspiration is to adapt<br />
places to meet the requests of an increasingly deman<strong>di</strong>ng and educated public. This by no means<br />
entails neglecting the museum’s fundamental tasks: safeguar<strong>di</strong>ng and updating historic-graphically<br />
one of the world’s most remarkable Egyptian collections.<br />
This cooperative relationship is founded on both respect for the skills and responsibilities of those<br />
involved, as well as the conviction that reorganising the museum’s architecture, management and<br />
exhibition spaces is an opportunity to enhance Piedmont’s and Turin’s image. This will confirm their<br />
places in the complex, rich picture of tourist and cultural sites both nationally and internationally.

Summary of the activities<br />
Summary of the activities<br />
Since several years the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> has adopted a “non-profit group”<br />
configuration. Currently, the system includes six permanent organisations or “instrumental bo<strong>di</strong>es”,<br />
performing their specialized tasks in the main sectors of activity of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, with whom they<br />
cooperate and are linked through specific statutory relations.<br />
Three permanent organisations are historically linked to the <strong>Compagnia</strong>: the Fondazione per la<br />
Scuola - Educatorio Duchessa Isabella della <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> (Foundation for Schools), the<br />
Ufficio Pio della <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> - Onlus and the Fondazione per l’Arte of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong><br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> (Foundation for Art) .<br />
The three remaining “instrumental bo<strong>di</strong>es” have been established in partnership with Turin<br />
Universities. In particular, the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (Mario Boella Advanced Institute for<br />
Information and Communication Technologies) together with SiTi - Istituto Superiore sui Sistemi<br />
Territoriali per l’Innovazione (Higher Institute for Territorial Systems for Innovation) are the outcome of<br />
a cooperation with Turin Polytechnic, whereas the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s partnership with Turin University<br />
resulted in the setting up of the Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto, an Advanced Centre for<br />
Economic and Financial Training.<br />
Another permanent organisation is likely to be inaugurated in Turin by the end of 2005, namely the<br />
ISEIGU - Higher European Inter<strong>di</strong>sciplinary Institute for Human Genetics, whose promoting<br />
committee was created by a joint initiative of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, Turin University and Polytechnic.<br />

<strong>2004</strong> was the first year of the Fondazione per l’Arte (Foundation for Art) activity. The<br />
Foundation launched programmes on “safeguar<strong>di</strong>ng, enrichment and enhancement of artistic<br />
heritage” (article 2 of the Foundation’s Articles of Association) working closely with the <strong>Compagnia</strong><br />
and especially the Art Sector. The foundation focused on training and research projects in history,<br />
art and restoration subjects, as well as implementing new models for managing and enhancing<br />
museums and cultural heritage, in its launch of numerous initiatives.<br />
80<br />
Restoration and Enhancement<br />
Restauration is at the heart of the Foundation for Art’s activity. The Foundation played an active role<br />
in establishing the Centre for the Conservation and Restoring of Cultural Heritage “la Venaria reale”,<br />
to be set up by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, Piedmont Regional Authorities,<br />
Turin University and CRT Foundation.<br />
The Centre will be established thanks to its founders’ significant contribution; besides provi<strong>di</strong>ng its<br />
asset fund, they will endow the Foundation with all necessary means to allow it to refurbish its<br />
headquarters and carry out its activities. In particular, the antique Alfieri Stables in the Royal Palace<br />
of Venaria will host a workshop for cultural heritage conservation, with monitoring, prevention,<br />
maintenance and restoration related tasks. There will be laboratories for analysis, research and<br />
<strong>di</strong>agnostics, a school for advanced training and stu<strong>di</strong>es awar<strong>di</strong>ng a “<strong>di</strong>ploma <strong>di</strong> laurea” (university<br />
degree) to restorers and a centre for recor<strong>di</strong>ng, collecting, organising and circulating data on the<br />
Foundation’s work. The Centre’s start up is planned for Spring 2005, with the opening of scientific<br />
and specialised cutting-edge technology laboratories, whereas university courses will begin in the<br />
2005-2006 academic year.<br />
The Foundation for Art promoted a wide ranging preparatory phase for this launch, assigning<br />
specific stu<strong>di</strong>es to restoration experts and appointing a permanent working group. Besides this<br />
project, the Foundation has taken on another noteworthy commitment to plan and realise a Centro<br />
<strong>di</strong> ricerca e documentazione sul Barocco (Centre for Research and Documentation on Baroque).<br />
The plan includes the creation of a specialised library, comprising not only historical and recent<br />
documents, but also the so called “grey” bibliography of rare or <strong>di</strong>fficult-to-find sources. The plan<br />
also includes a photographic and <strong>di</strong>gital archive of historic sources and restoration works-related<br />
documentation.<br />
The Centro <strong>di</strong> ricerca e documentazione sul Barocco will carry out its activities by putting its<br />
acquired heritage on the Internet, networking with similar Centres and assigning research projects<br />
and allocating grants. The Foundation awarded a grant to Turin’s <strong>San</strong> Francesco da Paola parish<br />
church, starting preliminary works to investigate and assess possible restoration and recovery<br />
operations for both the church as well as the sacristy’s internal decor.<br />
This project aims at laying down a blueprint for monuments and buil<strong>di</strong>ngs restoration and recovery<br />
that could later be applied to other projects. In <strong>2004</strong> the Foundation also reaffirmed its commitment<br />
to the “Grande Brera” project in Milan, initially launched by the Fondazione <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> per la Cultura,<br />
la Scienza e l’Arte (the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> Foundation for Culture, Science and Art) and concentrating on<br />
consolidation works on the Citterio Palace under the <strong>di</strong>rection of a Foundation appointed<br />
professional.

Stu<strong>di</strong>es and Research<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> activities in this field focused on three projects regar<strong>di</strong>ng Piedmont’s heritage. The<br />
Foundation reaffirmed its support for the “Ricerca su fonti e strumenti per la storia dei restauratori in<br />
Piemonte” (Research on Sources and Tools in Piedmont Restorers History) carried out by DAMS<br />
(Department of Music and Performing Arts of Turin University) as part of a wider national<br />
programme entitled “Archivio Storico e banca dati dei Restauratori italiani” (Italian Restorers’<br />
Historic Archive and Data Bank). It was co-financed by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and<br />
Activities and jointly promoted by the Istituto Centrale per il Restauro (Central Institute for<br />
Restoration), the Associazione Secco Suardo (Secco Suardo Association) in Rome, the<br />
Superintendent for Artistic and Historical Heritage of Milan and Rome’s “La Sapienza” University.<br />
Another part of this project was to publish the papers of “Il Corpo dello stile. Cultura e lettura del<br />
restauro nelle esperienze contemporanee”, a workshop organised by the Secco Suardo<br />
Association to explore the possible interaction between historical - artistic <strong>di</strong>sciplines and the latest<br />
trends in restoration. Grant support to young Italian history of art scholars has been reiterated.<br />
Grants were originally proposed by INHA - Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art (History of art national<br />
institute) in Paris, and their number increased from 2 to 3 for the <strong>2004</strong>/2005 academic year. The<br />
Foundation will support the publication of grants-related research papers on historical-artistic<br />
relations between France and Italy and encompassing various <strong>di</strong>sciplines, ranging from<br />
architecture, figurative arts, photography and decorative arts.<br />
The Foundation conferred on Si.T.I. – (Higher Institute for Territorial Systems for Innovation) the task<br />
of drawing a “risk map” of important monuments and Savoy residences in Piedmont. It also agreed<br />
to <strong>di</strong>gitilise informative sheets and related pictures on historical - artistic assets, to be added to the<br />
database in the Centro <strong>di</strong> documentazione e catalogazione regionale dei beni storico-artistici del<br />
Piemonte (Piedmont’s Regional Centre of Documentation and Catalogation of Historical-Artistic<br />
Heritage) based in Villa della Regina in Turin. This operation is being carried out by the<br />
Soprintendenza per il Patrimonio Storico Artistico e Etnoantropologico del Piemonte<br />
(Superintendent for Artistic, Historical and Ethnoanthropological Heritage of Piedmont). In the first<br />
year alone, 22,000 sheets were compiled, which covered the 1990-1999 period.<br />

Collections<br />
Among collections-related initiatives, Luca Cambiaso’s “Autoritratto dell’artista nell’atto <strong>di</strong><br />
<strong>di</strong>pingere il padre” (Self-portrait of the Artist while Painting his Father) is certainly worth mentioning.<br />
The painting was given on free loan to the Genoa Municipality and placed in Palazzo Bianco.<br />
Another ad<strong>di</strong>tion worth recalling is the Artemidorus of Ephesus’ papyrus (an initiative launched in<br />
2003), which will be also given to the Egyptian Museum in Turin as a free loan.<br />
The Papyrus, dating back to the Ptolemaic Period between I BC and I AD, was entrusted to the<br />
Istituto <strong>di</strong> Papirologia dell’Università <strong>di</strong> Milano (Milan Papirology Institute) for conservative<br />
restoration and scientific stu<strong>di</strong>es. It will be shown to the public at the Egyptian Museum in Turin in<br />
early 2006. Prof. Clau<strong>di</strong>o Gallazzi of Milan University and Prof. Bärbel Kramer of Trier University are<br />
the curators of a volume de<strong>di</strong>cated to the Papyrus.<br />
Exhibitions<br />
The Foundation acted in favour of the cultural programme Artissima <strong>2004</strong>, Fiera internazionale<br />
d'arte contemporanea in Turin (Contemporary Art Fair) – inclu<strong>di</strong>ng meetings and conventions on<br />
collections, museums, specialised press, contemporary art fairs and biennial exhibitions.<br />
Furthermore, the Foundation renewed its commitment to supporting the “Arte Contemporanea”<br />
project, which envisages a series of exhibitions in Turin and Rome organised in cooperation with<br />
the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the exhibition was de<strong>di</strong>cated to the Italo-American artist Salvatore Scarpitta’s works on<br />
paper. The exhibition was organised by the Calcografia Nazionale, Rome, then by the Archivio <strong>di</strong><br />
Stato <strong>di</strong> Torino (Turin State Archive).

Fondazione per la Scuola<br />
Fondazione per la Scuola<br />
www.fondazionescuola.it<br />
The Fondazione per la Scuola (Foundation for Schools) is the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s permanent<br />
organisation specifically devoted to “working with schools”, through operational programmes on an<br />
independent basis or developed with other institutions such as: local bo<strong>di</strong>es or research institutions,<br />
central or decentralized MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research) structures or<br />
autonomous Agencies, like INDIRE and INVALSI, newspapers and magazines, other Foundations<br />
(Körber Stiftung, Bertelsmann Stiftung).<br />
The Foundation’s core aim is to promote an enhancement in the quality of education as well as<br />
furthering the knowledge and transfer of Italian and foreign innovative practices, with a focus on the<br />
changes brought about by the introduction of school self – government.<br />
Cooperative Networks<br />
At national level the Foundation has long been promoting network cooperation with innovative<br />
schools which were identified through the Concorso Centoscuole (One hundred schoolscompetition).<br />
Currently 150 of them account for the main School Network of the Foundation, and<br />
they are the Foundation’s privileged target in activities and research programmes.<br />
School-targeted action include some paramount initiatives like the Accademie della Fondazione<br />
(the Foundation’s Academies), launched for the first time in <strong>2004</strong> in three e<strong>di</strong>tions, taking place<br />
respectively in Venice, at the Venice International University on <strong>San</strong> Servolo Island, in <strong>San</strong> Miniato<br />
(Pisa) and in Vico Equense (Naples). Academies are training courses addressed at the nework’s<br />
teachers and principals, on the cooperative learning approach, an innovative and effective <strong>di</strong>dactic<br />
method. With this aim, the Foundation has decided to widen the schools’ horizon ad<strong>di</strong>ng an<br />
international <strong>di</strong>mension to the initiative with the contribution of Cana<strong>di</strong>an, Scottish, German and<br />
Italian experts in the field of education and training.<br />
The network system saw the creation of an internal strong “core” consisting of 70 schools, each<br />
giving birth to an EuropaClub, (a permanent territorial centre for the popularisation of knowledge<br />
about Europe), forming a particularly closely-knit subsystem. The third national EuropaClub<br />
meeting was held in Naples in October and during the year Piedmont, Sicily and Lazio organised<br />
their first EuropaClub meetings at regional level, in Ivrea, lago <strong>di</strong> Pergusa and Rome. In <strong>2004</strong> the<br />
network made up of the Centoscuole Award winners incorporated as privileged interlocutors 60<br />
schools of the Genoa and 11 of the Turin area which participated in the “Janua-Genova porta dei<br />
mari” and “La regal Torino” programmes focussed on the museums’ historic-artistic and scientific<br />
heritage. More than 300 Piedmont and Aosta Valley’s schools took part in the “La Stampa per<br />
l’Europa” programme, another original initiative promoted by the Foundation in <strong>2004</strong> in<br />
collaboration with “La Stampa”, the Turin newspaper, with a significant contribution of the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>, which extended cooperation to “Il Secolo XIX” to the benefit of schools in<br />
Ligury. The “La Stampa per l’Europa” programme has achieved an unprecedented result in<br />
Piedmont and in Aosta Valley: for three months thousands of students (over 7500) in secondary<br />
schools, high schools and professional training institutes together with 500 teachers have been<br />
“working on Europe”, coming up with projects on history, institutions, European integration related<br />
themes and events, culture, science, sport, music. During the summer of <strong>2004</strong> the winners of the<br />
Eurostory competition were announced. This is another considerable initiative launched by the<br />

Naples.<br />

Community foundation of Educational Services<br />
Consistent with its aim of operating in the territory, the Foundation strengthened its relation with the<br />
City of Turin with two programmes: “Provaci ancora Sam” (Try it again Sam) for preventing and<br />
managing the problem of school drop outs, which has both set the national benchmark for similar<br />
initiatives, and led in autumn to a new Memorandum of Understan<strong>di</strong>ng among the Ministry of<br />
University and Research - Turin Municipality -, the Ufficio Pio of the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>, the<br />
Foundation for Schools and “Sul Tappeto Volante” (“On the flying carpet”). It aims both at achieving<br />
multiethnic school and social integration in the Turin <strong>di</strong>strict of <strong>San</strong> Salvario, preventing Italian<br />
students from moving away from <strong>di</strong>strict schools. Further cooperation was established with the Turin<br />
Municipality in the context of Servizio Civile Volontario italiano in Europa (Italian civil voluntary<br />
service in Europe). Several civil volunteers served in the programmes against school drop outs<br />
launched in the “educating cities” of Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Getafe (Gerona). The joint<br />
intervention with the Turin municipality on school-work alternance was strengthened and<br />
supported, at the end of the year, by joint initiatives in the field of cooperative learning, which will<br />
soon become the subject of a specific convention. With Piedmont Regional Authorities and the<br />
Direzione Scolastica regionale del MIUR (Ministry of Education University and Research regional<br />
office) the Foundation set up the “Scuole <strong>di</strong> Montagna”, programme, whose first step was the<br />
publication of a book on schools in the mountains of Piedmont, and the launch of the Concorso<br />
nazionale Centomontagne (Centomontagne national competition) open to schools . The initiative<br />
will reach its peak in 2006, during Olympic Winter Games and Paralympics, through meetings and<br />
exchange of experience among the winners of the Centomontagne competition and other schools<br />
in the region. Furthermore, the foundation strengthened its relation with Genoa, first ad foremost<br />
thanks to the “Janua-Genova porta dei mari” initiative, involving over 60 elementary, lower<br />
secondary and secondary schools (over two thirds of the total number of schools on the local<br />
territory) and about 9000 students, with teaching projects on various cultural places of interest or<br />
museums telling the story of the city in its <strong>di</strong>fferent stages. The initiative’s closing events were over<br />
50, embracing exhibitions, theatre and film performances, art installations, many of which had great<br />
success and importance in the city. Secondly, participating in the Congresso Internazionale delle

research study on educating cities, of which Luisa Ribolzi, member of the Foundation Board, was<br />
the curator.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the Foundation started cooperation with the City of Naples as well. The first step in this<br />
<strong>di</strong>rection was a scientific educational programme “Napoli: provare per credere”, followed by Piero<br />
Bianucci in collaboration with Città della Scienza (City of Science) and Istituto Banco <strong>di</strong> Napoli -<br />
Fondazione (Bank of Naples’ Foundation)<br />
Research<br />
In the first half of <strong>2004</strong> a study on Italian youths’ assessment of their own school experience was set<br />
out in cooperation with the Istituto IARD Franco Brambilla (Franco Brambilla’s Institute). The study<br />
was carried out in the framework of the Sixth IARD <strong>report</strong> on Italian youths.<br />
As regards <strong>di</strong>dactical innovation and especially the new opportunities offered by multime<strong>di</strong>a,<br />
informatics and the web, the Foundation completed a research project on “usi <strong>di</strong>dattici <strong>di</strong> Internet e<br />
i primi risultati della sperimentazione <strong>di</strong> una rete telematica regionale nelle scuole del Piemonte”<br />
(Use of Internet as a <strong>di</strong>dactic resource and first results from an experimental regional telematic<br />
network of schools in Piedmont) promoted jointly with the CRT Foundation. In the second half of<br />
<strong>2004</strong> the Foundation, together with INDIRE (Istituto Nazionale <strong>di</strong> Documentazione per l’Innovazione<br />
e la Ricerca Educativa - National Institute for Documentation on Innovation and Educational<br />
Research) and the CLAS group, developed the Gold Train Project (TRAsferimento INnovazione –<br />
TRAnsfer of INnovation) aimed at defining innovation fostering aspects, popularisation actions to<br />
favour its spread in the school community and preparing documents to facilitate its transfer to<br />
educational context other than the original ones.<br />
The Progetto Qualità (Quality project) concerning “organisational” innovation was set up with the<br />
objective of promoting quality methods in the schools of Ligury. Within the framework of the existing<br />
joint action programme with the Centro <strong>di</strong> ricerca sulle Amministrazioni pubbliche “Vittorio<br />
Bachelet” della LUISS Guido Carli (“Vittorio Bachelet” Research Centre on Public Administrations )<br />
the Rapporto sulla scuola dell’autonomia <strong>2004</strong> (<strong>2004</strong> Report on School Self – Governance) was<br />
published, with a focus on self-governance, through research and school self-assessment tools.<br />

The Ufficio Pio<br />

86<br />
The Ufficio Pio, dating back to 1595, delivers assistance services in favour of socially<br />
deprived groups, granting aids in favour of Turin metropolitan area in<strong>di</strong>viduals or households<br />
experiencing hardship.<br />
In the wake of the new Articles of Association’s enforcement, in <strong>2004</strong> the Ufficio Pio operative and<br />
planning structure were underpinned. Foreign immigrants were integrated in the potentially<br />
assistance-nee<strong>di</strong>ng categories, thus reiterating both the importance of the Ufficio Pio for the Turin<br />
area and its mission: tackling in a timely and effective manner all critical situations affecting the<br />
weakest layers of society.<br />
The underlying ambition of the Ufficio Pio is to channel available resources towards highly<br />
innovative viable initiatives. In order to pursue this objective, the role of Delegati (charity stewards)<br />
was strongly enhanced, thus improving the needs of an ever-evolving society.<br />
Bearing this in mind, the Ufficio kept “recruiting” and training new volunteers to tackle with<br />
increasing effectiveness old and new forms of poverty affecting a growing number of people<br />
experiencing social and economic hardship. By doing so, 16 new Delegati joined the Ufficio’s staff<br />
thus increasing the volunteers total number, currently amounting to 203. To guarantee the quality<br />
of old and new Delegati’s support activities, specific seminars with the attendance of experts in the<br />
socio-assistential field were organised.<br />
Moreover, the Ufficio Pio developed and strengthened the management and coor<strong>di</strong>nation of plans<br />
related to work training scheme grants, summer holidays, training schemes for young people<br />
experiencing hardship and “new start” programmes for school drop-outs.<br />
All programmes were integrated by preventive measures taken in schools, with the aim of bringing<br />
school expulsions to an end.<br />
Some of the implemented initiatives were managed by Special Districts, set up with volunteers with<br />
specific expertise in the various assistance-nee<strong>di</strong>ng sectors (vocational training, prisons,<br />
hospitals, assistance to foreigners etc.) In particular, the Foreigners District became fully<br />
operational, taking cross-<strong>di</strong>strict actions to meet the needs of foreign non E.U.<br />
Furthermore, the Ufficio Pio supports projects organised by non-profit associations or<br />
organisations, completing processes that have been already set in motion or setting up<br />
mechanisms that in the end would benefit people experiencing hardship, as in the case of grants<br />
or bonuses to foster training activities.<br />
Resources and Lines of action<br />
Resources made available in <strong>2004</strong>, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng assets and donations, amounted to about 4,8 million<br />
euros, the most significant slice of which (4.5 millions) was allocated by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Paolo</strong>. Funds, exclu<strong>di</strong>ng administrative expen<strong>di</strong>ture of 400,000 euros, covered the awar<strong>di</strong>ng of<br />
almost 4 million euros grants.<br />
Action focused on two well-defined fundamental lines: or<strong>di</strong>nary relief grants were managed by the<br />
Association of Ufficio Pio <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> Volunteers, while project planning was carried out <strong>di</strong>rectly by<br />
the Ufficio’s structures.<br />
The Association of Ufficio Pio <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> Volunteers, set up to define and suggest new operating<br />
schemes and strategic objectives, was fully operational thanks to the presence of over 200
Permanent Organisations<br />

Delegati <strong>di</strong>rectly working with people experiencing <strong>di</strong>fficulties. This allowed them to identify and<br />
<strong>report</strong> truly critical cases with the utmost timeliness.<br />
The Association awarded 2881 or<strong>di</strong>nary relief grants, totalling slightly less than 2.3 million euros,<br />
while projects-related expen<strong>di</strong>ture amounted to almost 1.7 million euros. The Ufficio Pio kept<br />
provi<strong>di</strong>ng its “social emergency service” through various activities: 6804 people were attended to<br />
through the Ufficio’s help point, with 1434 first-time contacts.<br />
With a view to overcoming mere welfarism and helping people regain their autonomy the Ufficio Pio<br />
has also launched project planning and service-related initiatives, absorbing almost 1.7 million<br />
euros.<br />
As far as vocational training of youth belonging to vulnerable households is concerned, 44 new<br />
vocational training grants were assigned, 15 of which to resident foreigners; when the vocational<br />
training scheme was completed, about two thirds of the grants resulted in the beneficiaries being<br />
employed with a permanent contract.<br />
Five ad<strong>di</strong>tional grants were awarded within the framework of the Logos project, targeting former<br />
prison inmates with the aim of fostering their professional rehabilitation.<br />
The Ufficio still supports tra<strong>di</strong>tional training courses and it has launched some initiatives targeted<br />
at particular groups (women in <strong>di</strong>fficult situations etc.) with specific training courses for various<br />
professional sectors or expertises ( catering, craft workshops etc.)<br />

Youth at Risk<br />
In the field of Youth at risk-targeted initiatives, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng educational ones, the Ufficio reaffirmed its<br />
commitment to “Provaci ancora Sam” (Try it Again Sam), a project carried out in cooperation with<br />
the Social Services and Education Departments of Turin Municipality, and the regional office of the<br />
Ministry of Education (MIUR). The project is centred on the phenomenon of school drop-outs and<br />
aims at reintegrating 15 year old students who still haven’t obtained their Licenza Me<strong>di</strong>a (<strong>di</strong>ploma<br />
of lower secondary education): 196 boys and girls were involved in the initiative for the 2003/<strong>2004</strong><br />
school year, and they obtained the <strong>di</strong>ploma.<br />
Action towards youth rehabilitation was enhanced through the introduction of scheme modules
The poster of the<br />
“Provaci<br />
ancora, Sam!” project<br />
88<br />
targeting students of the Scuola Me<strong>di</strong>a (lower secondary school) first classes to prevent school<br />
drop outs. 45 modules were activated, covering virtually all lower secondary schools in the<br />
metropolitan area.<br />
Furthermore, 166 young people benefited from various initiatives during the summer, such as<br />
seaside or mountain summer camps or “Spazio Giovani”. Within the framework of “Estate<br />
Ragazzi”, the Ufficio funded 33 initiatives promoted by other bo<strong>di</strong>es or organisations, thus<br />
exten<strong>di</strong>ng participation to over 450 young people. A special support intervention involving 12<br />
<strong>di</strong>sabled young people was carried out within the framework of summer activities too.<br />
As regard the Health sector, two initiatives are worth mentioning: free dental care, and, in ad<strong>di</strong>tion<br />
to or<strong>di</strong>nary relief grants, targeted initiative for elderly people in need such as free accommodation<br />
for brief summer periods in therapeutical structures: 26 people benefited from this initiative.<br />
Other measures were taken to face specific context hardship like in hospitals or in detention<br />
houses, or to extremely critical areas of intervention like homeless people. Following a specific<br />
donation (Pro milite italico), the Ufficio Pio took care of the management of the retirement house<br />
“Villa Mater” in Rivoli (Turin) hosting 39 elderly people, 10 of whom are not self-sufficient. Possible<br />
organisational interventions targeted at achieving a well balanced management of the structure<br />
kept on being analysed.

HERMES (www.hermesricerche.it). Chaired by Giovanni Fraquelli, HERMES tackles research<br />
activities with a horizontal, cross-sector approach, a trade-off between two ways of increasing<br />
effectiveness and enhancing services, based respectively on competitive mechanisms (tenders) or<br />
on a strict regulatory body (authority). Research in this field is targeted particularly at local transport<br />
systems, energy and water sectors. The Agenzia per il controllo e la qualità dei servizi pubblici locali<br />

The Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (Mario Boella Advanced Institute), established in<br />
the second half of 2000 by its foun<strong>di</strong>ng members, <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> and Turin Polytechnic,<br />
later extended its partnership to industrial partners like Motorola, STMicroelectronics, SKF and<br />
Telecom Italia, to create a strongly integrated team with sound expertise in cutting-edge research.<br />
It aims at strengthening the synergy between university and industrial systems and at constituting<br />
a pole of excellence in the field of ICT on national and international levels.<br />
The main ISMB sectors of activity are the four synergic areas of Research, Advanced training,<br />
Technology-to-Business Intelligence and ICT&Society, placing particular emphasis on applied<br />
technological research in the field of advanced wireless telecommunication.<br />
At the end of 2003, the Institute moved to new premises that are now becoming the technological<br />
centre of new Turin, namely the Spina 2 area of Turin Polytechnic. The former Tornerie (Turnery<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ngs) historic premises, restored with the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>’s contribution, hosts the<br />
Institute’s laboratories, covering 4000 square metres, where joint research activities are carried<br />
out with Turin polytechnic and Industrial Partners. Inside, about 200 researchers work in the fields<br />
of photonics, electromagnetic compatibility, fixed and wireless networks, e-security, satellite<br />
positioning systems, microelectronics and nanotechnologies, ra<strong>di</strong>omobile technologies for<br />
multime<strong>di</strong>a systems and related applications.<br />
Furthermore, the institute shares laboratories with Accent, Laben, Sen<strong>di</strong>a e STMicroelectronics<br />
industrial companies.<br />
The unique expertise stemming from laboratories working in partnership is particularly relevant to<br />
the sectors of wireless sensor networks, indoor localization, satellite positioning receivers,<br />
e-security, e-health e and multime<strong>di</strong>a.<br />
Mention must be made of cooperation with various international centres of excellence: University<br />
of Illinois in Chicago, Berkeley University, Anderson School of Management of the University of<br />
California, Universidad Politecnica de Catalunia, Ecole Polytechnique Federale in Lausanne. The<br />
Institute is a partner of ERTICO, the prestigious European institution for Intelligent Transport<br />
Systems, and of WINMEC too, gathering in Los Angeles the most important companies and<br />
international institutions operating in the field of wireless communication.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the institute achieved a great success in coor<strong>di</strong>nating an extremely innovative and<br />
complex project: the creation of NEWCOM (“Network of Excellence in Wireless COMmunication”)<br />
involving 60 European academic and industrial institutions. The network can rightly be considered<br />
a decisive step towards the creation a European Research Space envisaged in Lisbon in the year<br />
2000 in the framework of wireless communication strategic sector.<br />
The institute was a key actor in many other international projects: INTEGRA (Integrating new<br />
technologies in School: Developing and promoting core competences in Argentina, Chile and<br />
Uruguay) promoting cooperation with Latin America to develop Information society against the<br />
<strong>di</strong>gital <strong>di</strong>vide; the ALPIP (America Latina Piemonte Politecnico) project, fostering cooperation with<br />
Latin-.American universities, with an active participation of the institute on “Optical<br />
Communication and Photonic Technologies” and “Wireless Systems and Related Technologies”.<br />
Among research programmes, it is worth recalling PRIMO (Piattaforme Riconfigurabili per<br />
Interoperabilità in Mobilità - Reconfigurable Platforms for Mobile Interoperability) funded by the
Permanent Organisations<br />
Istituto Superiore Mario Boella<br />
One of the design offices at the Istituto Mario Boella<br />

the fourth generation mobile phones; and ADITECH, funded by the Piedmont Regional<br />
Authorities, aiming at buil<strong>di</strong>ng and testing a wearable equipment capable of measuring selfsufficient<br />
elderly body parameters transmitting them to assistance centres.<br />
Supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>, the POLIMEDIA project deals with research into<br />
multime<strong>di</strong>a focusing on the <strong>di</strong>gitalisation of similar contents, cooperating with prominent Turin<br />
institutions and with the support of Virtual Reality and MultiMe<strong>di</strong>a Park. Turin provides potentially<br />
fertile soil for the development of joint initiatives on multime<strong>di</strong>a applications, hosting on its territory<br />
public and private bo<strong>di</strong>es involved in multime<strong>di</strong>a, both with regard to its contents (Cinema<br />
Museum, Mountain Museum, national Cinema school, Teatro Regio, Conservatory, DAMS –<br />
University Department of Art, Music and Performing art, RAI Production Centre), and to<br />
technologies, like the University Department of Informatics, CSP, VRMMP (Virtual Reality and<br />
MultiMe<strong>di</strong>a Park), Telecom Italia Lab, Rai Research Centre. Moreover, the monitoring process of<br />
innovative and high technology SMEs set up recently by Turin Wireless Foundation in agreement<br />
with the Institute recorded the presence on the territory of a significant number of small and<br />
me<strong>di</strong>um enterprises.<br />
The institute, in cooperation with the Polytechnic, the Turin Wireless Foundation and the Galileo<br />
Ferraris Institute, joined the working group on the design project of a weather station in Turin.<br />
Furthermore, in <strong>2004</strong> the institute launched a Master on Navigation and Related Applications<br />
(targeting satellite localization technologies under the patronage of the United Nations’ Office for<br />
Outer Space Affairs) in the wider framework of research activities with Laben. The institute<br />
established institutional cooperation relations with universities and the industrial sector with the<br />
aim of achieving timely applicative results.<br />
In the ICT&Society sector, the project “Poli della Conoscenza” (knowledge poles) analysing the<br />
expansion of knowledge society in Barcelona, Lyon and Turin is currently under way.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> the Global Access Program, an important international business planning programme,<br />
reached its third year of activity. It was designed and coor<strong>di</strong>nated by the Anderson School of<br />
Management, University of California (Los Angeles) and promoted in Italy by ISMB and Turin<br />

Wireless with the aim of fostering the internationalization of enterprises on the territory.<br />
The Mario Boella Advanced Institute is a major advocate of the ICT development, particularly of<br />
the increase of research activities because they stand for one of the possible territorial answers to<br />
the decrease in regional and national competitiveness. It is therefore strongly committed to the<br />
Turin Wireless District, listing as important partners several public institutions (Ministry of<br />
Research, Piedmont Regional Authorities, Turin Province, Turin Municipality, Turin Chamber of<br />
Commerce), and lea<strong>di</strong>ng private companies (Alenia, FIAT, Motorola, STMicroelectronics, Telecom<br />
Italia), banks and banking foundations (<strong>San</strong><strong>Paolo</strong>IMI, Unicre<strong>di</strong>t, <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>,<br />
Fondazione CRT) and, last but not least, Unione Industriale (Industrial Union), Turin University and<br />
Polytechnic.<br />
In this field research, supported by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>, is linked to the European Galileo<br />
project, with the participation of: Turin institutions and industries operating in the sector of satellite<br />
transmitters; Intelligent Transport System (transport telematics), to package and microsystems.<br />
Added to this are a number of activities carried out with the Turin Wireless District partners, whose<br />
objective is to patent research results and to give support and innovative contributions to SMEs in<br />
Piedmont.

The SiTI (Higher Institute for Territorial System for Innovation) is a non profit organisation,<br />
founded by Turin Polytechnic and the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> to produce innovation and socioeconomic<br />
growth targeted research and training. The institute is based in the Turin Polytechnic<br />
campus, at the former Tornerie (Turnery buil<strong>di</strong>ngs). It covers a surface of 4000 square metres with<br />
laboratories and offices, and it can avail itself of the help of teachers and researchers of several<br />
University Departments. Thanks to a solid network of national and international relations, SiTI can<br />
put forward highly strategic and innovative projects supporting economic development,<br />
environmental safeguar<strong>di</strong>ng, sustainability and quality of life. Governed by an eight-member board<br />
(and assisted by a scientific committee of 15 experts from all over Europe), over the 2002-<strong>2004</strong><br />
period SiTI has promoted 30 national and European projects for a total of 5 million euros, and has<br />
planned 8 million euros activities for 2005. Siti’s research activities may be <strong>di</strong>vided into six main<br />
theme areas: city and territory, environment and landscape, innovation and development,<br />
architecture and heritage, infrastructures and transport, integrated security systems.<br />
Main Research Projects<br />
“Stu<strong>di</strong>o <strong>di</strong> fattibilità per la riorganizzazione territoriale dell’area <strong>di</strong> Porta Nuova”. (Feasibility Study for<br />
a territorial reorganisation of the Porta Nuova area).The Study is centred around a phase of definition<br />
and verification of transforming landscapes in the city area between Porta Nuova and Lingotto train<br />
stations. During <strong>2004</strong> the first phase reached completion and the second one, whose deadline is<br />
fixed in the first months of 2005, has already been set up.<br />
“Monitoraggio sulle opere <strong>di</strong> ammodernamento e adeguamento dell’Autostrada Salerno – Reggio<br />
Calabria” (Monitoring of modernization and adaptation works on the Salerno – Reggio Calabria<br />
motorway). Research activities aim at a data bank creation through surveys, progressive sample<br />
collections and stu<strong>di</strong>es to determine the physical-mechanical characteristics of materials used for<br />
road structures and superstructures. This extremely complex project has generated relevant<br />
activities commissioned by ANAS to the Polytechnic Laboratories.<br />
“Monitoraggio del Programma Olimpico per le Olimpia<strong>di</strong> Invernali Torino 2006” (Monitoring of the<br />
Olympic Programme for Turin 2006 Olympic Winter Games). This initiative, whose results were<br />
highlighted in February 2005, consisted of analysing and appreciating the areas which are being<br />
subject to interventions and works for 2006 Winter Games, paying particular attention to their<br />
implications.<br />
“Reggia <strong>di</strong> Caserta”: Stu<strong>di</strong>o <strong>di</strong> fattibilità per il nuovo assetto degli spazi liberati dall’Aeronautica<br />
Militare” (Reggia <strong>di</strong> Caserta: feasibility study for a new arrangement of Military Aviation former<br />
spaces). The project, started with the cooperation of Mecenate ’90, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage<br />
and Activities, the Municipalities and Superintendents of the Caserta and Benevento Provinces, will<br />
reach its completion in June 2005, following a comprehensive study on the Reggia managementrelated<br />
aspects, commissioned by the Ministry itself. Another feasibility study was carried out for the<br />
“Teatro Regio” (Royal Opera House) in Turin, to investigate the possibility to build a rehearsal room<br />
through “in-ground architecture” in the neighbouring areas. The project “Sicurezza – protezione<br />
civile nel settore dei Beni Culturali” (Security – Civil protection in the cultural heritage field) is of<br />

particular relevance. The project was commissioned by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>’s Foundation<br />
for Art, and it investigates procedures, protocols and innovative technological solutions for selected<br />
heritage samples (inclu<strong>di</strong>ng the Egyptian Museum and Villa della Regina in Turin). The aim is to<br />
enhance their use and to sensitise the public, in full respect of the venues. The project is premised<br />
on the idea that the achievement of heritage safeguar<strong>di</strong>ng, both physical (safety) and with regard<br />
to risk of intrusion (security), does not rely just on technical factors, but also on organisational, social<br />
and legal ones. All of these factors must be taken into account and assessed through an integrated<br />
security approach. That was the logic behind the setting up of a project for the creation of a<br />
“Hypertext” on the documentation related to stu<strong>di</strong>es, analyses and interventions carried out on the<br />
Guarini’s Cappella della Sindone (Shroud Chapel) following the 1997 fire. Initiatives were also<br />
targeted at Genoa and its region. Mention must be made of research activities on “An Integrated<br />
approach to the safety of the territory: “Genoa’s node in the framework of the traffic and port system<br />
in Europe” with <strong>di</strong>fferent steps (feasibility study and area project) involving the Istituto Superiore<br />
Mario Boella and Genoa University. Cooperation with the University led to an important experiment<br />
within the framework of cooperative relations with UNESCO, to promote initiatives and projects<br />
targeted at enhancing the cultural, socio-economic and environmental potential of the Cinque Terre<br />
Park territory. Furthermore, analysis was carried out on Genoan infrastructures: water and energy<br />
supply network, the airport, railway and road systems. The cooperation with Federico II University<br />
in Naples led to a thematic research on “Criteria for defining and planning the implementation of a<br />
protected area global strategic development plan: the Cilento tourist-cultural <strong>di</strong>strict”. The<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> agreed on a joint project with the Università Me<strong>di</strong>terranea (Me<strong>di</strong>terranean University)
Strutture stabili<br />
SiTI<br />
An office at SiTI<br />
“Village d’Europe – Area Grecanica” (Pentadattilo), which was launched following the results of the<br />
EU Programme on “hotel villages” and “Villages d’Europe”. CAFI (Torino, Imperia, Cuneo provinces<br />
and transborder French departments) commissioned a cooperation programme within the<br />
“Laboratoire des Transports” on the accessibility and multimodality of people and goods transport<br />
systems, the economic attractiveness of the <strong>di</strong>stricts, the consequences and impact of the highspeed<br />
Turin-Lyon railway connection. Research was carried out in partnership with the Université<br />
de Savoie (Savoy University). In <strong>2004</strong> SiTi was asked by Turin Municipality to perform a research on<br />
“Scenari <strong>di</strong> sviluppo e potenzialità d’uso del sito <strong>di</strong> Mirafiori” (Development prospects and potential<br />
use of the Mirafiori site). Activities in the complex sector of safety measures for the territory and its<br />
infrastructures were strengthened and widened, also through SiTI’s application to the ESRAB<br />
(European Security Research Advisory Board) committee. Moreover, the institute supported the<br />
realization and launch of the “Picpot” satellite, designed and built by teachers and researchers of<br />
Turin Polytechnic, and organised laboratory experiments to secure the transport system.<br />

Training activity<br />
Thanks to new premises, the existing cooperation with all Departments and structures of Turin<br />
Polytechnic involved in Siti activities was broadened. Specific working groups tackled all <strong>di</strong>fferent<br />
sectors of activity. Over 30 research grants were awarded, essentially to Turin Polytechnic, but also<br />
to other Universities and centres of excellence at a national level. In cooperation with ARPA<br />
(Agenzia per la Ricerca e la Produzione Avanzata dell’Università degli Stu<strong>di</strong> <strong>di</strong> Napoli Federico II<br />
- Research and Advanced Production Agency of Naples University) with the Agenzia del Territorio<br />
del Ministero dell’Economia (Ministry of Economy Territorial Agency) and other bo<strong>di</strong>es for<br />
advanced training operating in Campania, an advanced training course was set up to empower<br />
operators vis-à-vis “territorial governance”. A Memorandum of Understan<strong>di</strong>ng was signed with the<br />
“Museo A come Ambiente”. It deals with complex systems interactions, knowledge advocacy and<br />
development on environmental related topics, such as energy, transports, waste <strong>di</strong>sposal and<br />
water.<br />
In conclusion, SiTI plans to bolster the integration and development of post-lauream and doctorate<br />
programmes of Turin Polytechnic related to territorial system and transformation issues.

Communication<br />
Being a non profit organisation, the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> is deeply committed to<br />
communicating with the community it represents and accounts to. This commitment stems from the<br />
awareness that transparent, timely, and relevant communication is a key element in the growth of<br />
both the role and reputation of a Foundation. Letting people know what the Foundation is doing and<br />
how it operates means making it better known to the public as well as contributing to buil<strong>di</strong>ng trust<br />
among stakeholders. Furthermore, communication enables the general public to assess and judge<br />
the Foundation’s work. The <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> has chosen many forms of communication to<br />
achieve the key objective of informing people and sprea<strong>di</strong>ng the values and ideals that are at the<br />
heart of its mission.<br />
Sprea<strong>di</strong>ng the Culture of Solidarity and Innovation<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> participates in communication-related initiatives together with local, national and<br />
European public institutions, and other Italian and foreign Foundations with which it cooperates.<br />
Communication is therefore aimed at sprea<strong>di</strong>ng innovative solutions by fin<strong>di</strong>ng effective answers to<br />
problems of a rapidly changing and ever evolving society. Communication becomes a powerful tool<br />
that enables the Foundation to perform the role of “system integrator”, becoming the ideal place<br />
where the needs, expertise, and resources of both the private and public sectors can be gathered<br />
and combined in everyone’s interest.<br />
126<br />
Means and Numbers<br />
Communication within the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> targets many <strong>di</strong>fferent branches of civil society:<br />
mass me<strong>di</strong>a, institutions, study and research centres, associations and organisations - all with the<br />
aim of reaching as many people as possible who are also the final beneficiaries of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
initiatives throughout its various sectors.<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> has adopted various ways and means to communicate based on the target the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> intends to reach.<br />
- The Website: www.compagnia.torino.it: it is the richest source of information concerning the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>’s activities as well as being a practical tool. Information is in both English and Italian. In<br />
<strong>2004</strong> it recorded an average of 9.000 hits a month. On the website, documents concerning the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>’s articles of association, governing bo<strong>di</strong>es, internal structure, balance sheets,<br />
guidelines, ongoing projects, calls for proposals, scholarships and application forms for submitting<br />
a request for contribution can be browsed and printed. The <strong>Compagnia</strong> can be addressed <strong>di</strong>rectly<br />
online. The website provides specific links to its permanent organisations’ websites.<br />
- <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>report</strong>: it has been published since 1997 and circulated to public institutions or private<br />
organisations cooperating with the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, the press and everyone who requests a copy. The<br />
<strong>report</strong> is perio<strong>di</strong>cally accompanied by the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s Profile, describing the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s history<br />
and structure and various aspects of its work.<br />
- Newsletter: published every three months, it has been issued since October 1997, it is used to<br />
spread information on the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s initiatives and projects, with details and hints for reflection<br />
on local and international themes of interest.<br />
- Press releases: they include initiatives, projects and programmes supported and promoted by the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> in press conferences and events organised <strong>di</strong>rectly in the various institutional sectors.
Communication<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s stand at the Fiera del Libro (Book Fair) <strong>2004</strong><br />
There were 33 press releases issued in <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
- Press Notes: they <strong>report</strong> on events funded by the <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>, organised and<br />
promoted by external organizations. 102 press notes were issued in <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
- Use of the logo: its use provides an effective form of communication. The logo, as symbol of the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>, is the basic and most straightforward sign with which the <strong>Compagnia</strong> can be<br />
imme<strong>di</strong>ately recognised. In fact it is particularly careful in ensuring the logo is used correctly in all<br />
forms of communication: various documents, brochures, leaflets, posters and flyers during public<br />
events like exhibitions and others.<br />
127<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> also communicates through specific issues targeted at sprea<strong>di</strong>ng information on<br />
its me<strong>di</strong>um-term strategic guidelines, and issues concerning particular projects or initiatives it has<br />
supported. This is the case of the Transatlantic Trends Report, whose most recent e<strong>di</strong>tion dates<br />
back to <strong>2004</strong>. (see the Research chapter)<br />
Communication includes speeches delivered by the Chairman, the Secretary General, and other<br />
representatives during public presentation of funded initiatives, meetings, conferences, round<br />
tables and <strong>di</strong>scussions. The same goes for interviews and personal writings published on<br />
newspapers and magazines.<br />
Furthermore, communication includes the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s participation in national events fitting its<br />
activity, like the Fiera del Libro <strong>di</strong> Torino (Turin Book Fair) or the Salone del Restauro (Restoration<br />
Fair) in Ferrara. Communication activity involving the “permanent organisations” is based on the<br />
same principles, and, although it is managed by each organisation in complete autonomy, it is<br />
coor<strong>di</strong>nated by the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, in accordance with its “non profit group” structure.
The Historical Archives<br />
The <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>’s Historical Archives, based at Vigna <strong>di</strong> Madama Reale,<br />
preserve an extremely rich documentary heritage, witnessing the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s many centuries of<br />
history and provi<strong>di</strong>ng a fundamental source for Piedmontese and national history.<br />
Documents are available for public consultation.<br />
There are three main collections, to be gradually enlarged with future acquisitions. The ancient<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>’s archive (1563-1853) consists of 283 documents and papers described in<br />
details in the printed analytical inventory, and covers statutes, regulations, instructions, balance<br />
sheets, bequests, properties of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>, Monte <strong>di</strong> pietà, Ufficio pio and other administered<br />
institutions. It includes about a hundred parchments and acts dating back to the 14th century.<br />
The Opere Pie - Istituto <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> documentation, covering the time span between the second half<br />
of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century (in some cases with later ramifications up to the present<br />
days) includes 22,000 volumes and folders. It is entirely catalogued and can be consulted through<br />
paper inventories or through a data base. This part of the collection is sub<strong>di</strong>vided into the following<br />
sections: Funzioni centrali (Central functions), Ufficio pio, Educatorio duchessa Isabella, Azienda <strong>di</strong><br />
risparmio e cre<strong>di</strong>to (savings and cre<strong>di</strong>t institute formerly known as Monte <strong>di</strong> pietà), Cre<strong>di</strong>to fon<strong>di</strong>ario<br />
(mortgage cre<strong>di</strong>t), Cre<strong>di</strong>to agrario (agricultural cre<strong>di</strong>t), Opere pubbliche (public works), the latter<br />
being integrated with three further archives: Banca Grasso (1874-1972), Cassa <strong>di</strong> previdenza per il<br />
personale della Confederazione fascista degli industriali (1920-1962), Banca Popolare <strong>San</strong> Gaetano<br />
(1939-1969). Among later collections the mortgage cre<strong>di</strong>t section is of particular importance.<br />
It covers the management delegated by EGELI (Ente gestione e liquidazione immobiliare), of the<br />
properties which were confiscated from Jews and citizens of enemy countries, in accordance with<br />
race laws and wartime legislation.<br />
128<br />
The Archive’s activities include preserving collections, acquiring new documents or collections,<br />
reorganizing, setting up search tools, managing consultation services, promoting cultural initiatives,<br />
carrying out research, text e<strong>di</strong>ting, guided tours, teaching activities performed jointly with the<br />
University, participating in working groups and seminars.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> restoration works went on, intervening on 11 volumes and several parchments. A project was<br />
set up for the creation of an index listing all the names and the decisions of the members of the Opere<br />
Pie and Istituto <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>’s administrative boards– one of the most useful and most consulted<br />
sources. 49 volumes were involved in the first year of the project.<br />
The consultation service, open daily on appointment, recorded an increase in the number of visitors<br />
compared to previous years, with 43 visitors over 185 opening days. Visitors are mainly<br />
undergraduates, teachers and scholars of architecture, history of art, modern and contemporary<br />
history, law, social and political sciences, pedagogy, theology, economics. Requests for accessing<br />
the archive are submitted also for private reasons or for operational, legal, communication-related<br />
research.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong> three graduation works were completed and <strong>di</strong>scussed at Turin University, on the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>’s accountancy at the beginning of 1700, the management of human resources at <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Paolo</strong> in the 20th century (Faculty of Economics) and on prostitution in Turin between the Ancient<br />
Regime and Restoration (Faculty of Letters and Philosophy) respectively. Another graduation thesis<br />
in Canon Law was <strong>di</strong>scussed at the Pontificia Università Lateranense, on the origins of the <strong>San</strong>
The Historical Archives<br />
Vigna <strong>di</strong> Madama<br />
Reale. A room of the<br />
Historical Archives<br />
<strong>Paolo</strong>’s Monte <strong>di</strong> pietà.<br />
The first of the three volumes Per una storia della <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> (1563-1853), e<strong>di</strong>ted by W.<br />
Crivellin e B. Signorelli was published in the “Quaderni dell’Archivio Storico” series. The three<br />
volumes include the essays: Gli atti ritrovati: fonti per lo stu<strong>di</strong>o della <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong> (1610-<br />
1635) by C. Laurora and M. P. Niccoli, Reti <strong>di</strong> cre<strong>di</strong>to e composizione sociale della <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Paolo</strong>. Un’analisi attraverso i lasciti conservati presso l’archivio storico della <strong>Compagnia</strong> <strong>di</strong> B. A.<br />
Raviola; I Baronis: da mercanti e banchieri a conti <strong>di</strong> Buttigliera d’Asti. Ascesa economica e sociale<br />
<strong>di</strong> una famiglia nella Torino del Seicento, by N. Calapà.<br />
In ad<strong>di</strong>tion to assistance and consulting services for students and scholars, the staff carries out<br />
researches on internal or external request. The Archive took part in the shooting of a documentary film<br />
on the history of “<strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>”, to be issued during the forthcoming Turin Olympic Winter Games. Other<br />
recent examples include research on historical buil<strong>di</strong>ngs, on the sculpture works of Davide Calandra<br />
for the Istituto <strong>di</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Paolo</strong>, on bank mergers and incorporations.<br />
The Archive is a member of ICA - International Council of Archives, an international organization<br />
inclu<strong>di</strong>ng the main national archive associations, of the European Association for Banking and<br />
Financial History, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng about 80 European banks and foundations, and of ANAI - Associazione<br />
Nazionale Archivistica Italiana (Italy’s National Archive Association). In the context of initiatives<br />
related to the preservation and valorization of Archives, last year the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s archive attended a<br />
number of events such as the 15th ICA World Congress on Archives, Memory and Knowledge, held<br />
in Vienna; the 4th Colloque des archivistes de l’Arc Alpin Occidental in Archives et identités<br />
communales, held in Lausanne; the international meetings held in Bari on Public and private sectors<br />
mergers and transformations and their consequences on State archives, Public bo<strong>di</strong>es and<br />
companies, organized by ANAI; meetings held in Turin on the future of memory and the transfer of<br />
cultural heritage in the <strong>di</strong>gital era, promoted by CSI Piemonte.<br />

Financial Management<br />
Accor<strong>di</strong>ng to financial data, in <strong>2004</strong> the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s net return generated from <strong>di</strong>vidends<br />
(net of withol<strong>di</strong>ng tax ) amounted to 107.6 million euros, plus another 195.9 million euros from interests<br />
and income from other financial assets, 32.8 of which from monetary investments, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng interests<br />
on tax cre<strong>di</strong>ts, 120.7 million euros from bond managed portfolios and more than 42 million euros from<br />
equity managed portfolios.<br />
In <strong>2004</strong>, therefore, the financial return, calculated as ratio of the total income to assets market value,<br />
exclu<strong>di</strong>ng capital gains and losses on stake hol<strong>di</strong>ngs, increased to 4.6%, recovering significantly<br />
from the downturn recorded in 2003 financial year.<br />
The market value of assets increased in <strong>2004</strong>, from 6,534 a 6,805 million euros, with an increase of<br />
4.2% net of expenses, taxes and grants paid during the year.<br />
As far as stakes are concerned, during the financial year the Foundation sold all its Beni Stabili S.p.A.<br />
shares, realizing a 9 million euros capital gain.<br />

As regards the selection of asset managers- and related resource allocations- in the private equity<br />
sector (assets included in non marketable alternatives) the <strong>Compagnia</strong> appointed as advisor<br />
Cambridge Associates, already working as advisor for the strategic allocation of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s<br />
assets. In this sector new committments were taken on (like Horsley Bridge International III Fund) in
Financial Management<br />
ad<strong>di</strong>tion to those already subscribed with <strong>San</strong>paolo IMI private Equity.<br />
As for investment <strong>di</strong>versification, in 2003 most of the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s exposure on the Stock Markets<br />
consisted of stakes and, in particular, of that in SANPAOLO IMI S.p.A. <strong>2004</strong> marked a progressive<br />
growth of equity managed portfolios which at the end of the year reached over 450 million euros.<br />
On the whole, at the end of the year the <strong>Compagnia</strong>’s equity exposure levelled off at 51% of all assets.<br />
In general, the amount entrusted to managers in the bond sector <strong>di</strong>d not change substantially during<br />
the year, though it recorded an increase in the exposure of inflation-linked bonds.<br />
At the end of the year they amounted to over 12% of total investments in the money market and fixed<br />
income sectors.<br />
Shares recorded a two year recovery, after the heavy falls of the last three years. In this respect it has<br />
to be noticed that return in this sector was close to that of tra<strong>di</strong>tional bonds, while indexed bonds<br />
recorded a return that was higher than or close to the performance of the two lea<strong>di</strong>ng economic areas<br />
in the world (USA and Europe).<br />
The present model based on a <strong>di</strong>versification of assets into <strong>di</strong>fferent investments classes, managing<br />
styles and geographical allocation is sharply <strong>di</strong>fferent from the hol<strong>di</strong>ng model based on participation<br />
adopted by other italian Foundations, thus placing the <strong>Compagnia</strong> in the main stream of the major<br />
international institutional investors.<br />
The <strong>2004</strong> financial year recorded a further step forward towards a portfolio <strong>di</strong>versification close to the<br />
strategic allocation; achieving this aim is a priority for the Governing Bo<strong>di</strong>es and for the staff of the<br />
<strong>Compagnia</strong>.With the starting of equity mandates and the definition of three ad<strong>di</strong>tional mandates in<br />
the first months of 2005, the allocation of resources to the equity sector is virtually concluded, as<br />
Absolute return portfolios in asset allocation<br />
During the year the <strong>Compagnia</strong> carried out a preliminary<br />
selection of absolute return managers, thus introducing a<br />
new category of investments which <strong>di</strong>ffers from<br />
tra<strong>di</strong>tional asset classes.<br />
Expected return in absolute return investment strategies<br />
do not depend on benchmark market indexes nor on the<br />
kind of investment, as it is defined in terms of absolute<br />
return in the me<strong>di</strong>um term, through an active portfolio<br />
management and respecting the absolute risk limits<br />
defined in advance.<br />
Many <strong>di</strong>fferent products meet these requirements,<br />
ranging from the most tra<strong>di</strong>tional balanced portfolios to<br />
the most advanced multi-asset strategies, from<br />
concentrated stock portfolios to portfolios based on<br />
derivative instruments and cash, in order to reduce return<br />
volatility. A <strong>di</strong>fferent qualitative approach to absolute<br />
return strategies doesn’t exclude the use of standard<br />
quantitative tools: volatility and relative return have less<br />
significance whilst the analysis of absolute value is vital<br />
to assess the efectiveness of risk allocation. Absolute<br />
return products must have a low correlation with various<br />
indexes - therefore also with tra<strong>di</strong>tional investment toolsso<br />
that they can provide, above all, a good chance to<br />
<strong>di</strong>versify the portfolio. Benchmarks like beta, alpha and<br />
the correlation coefficient are the first to be taken into<br />
account when analysing these products; added value<br />
(alpha) generating sources have to be clearly identified as<br />
they represent the only relevant risk factor in the<br />
assessment of achieved results. In this kind of<br />
investments selection is therefore fundamental: risk, as<br />
well as return, depend on the ability of the manager and<br />
not on the benchmark market. This type of product is<br />
particularly suitable for institutional investors like<br />
Foundations, as they are perfectly in line with their<br />
strategic objective of safeguar<strong>di</strong>ng the assets real value<br />
and producing a constant cash flow. In ad<strong>di</strong>tion, Absolute<br />
return products enable to <strong>di</strong>versify the nature of risks,<br />
with respect to those implicit in the most tra<strong>di</strong>tional asset<br />
class, like equity risk premium, and also compared to<br />
those entailed by alternative investments, due to their<br />
scarce transparency and liqui<strong>di</strong>ty.<br />
