Turin – Around 9,000 works of art and various historic buildings spread throughout the national territory. It is the artistic and cultural heritage of the INPS which has been handed down over the years 125 years of history of the Institute thanks to the care and attention of the people who work there. A heritage made up of works of great value, created by more or less well-known artists, which are often little known and, although displayed inside the offices, are not accessible to the public. And it is precisely to make this heritage known and enhance it that the organisation’s central communications department has promoted the series ’20 Works for 20 Regions’, a publication that presents, for each branch of the Institute, a selection of the most significant works of art. A kind of journey into the historical and cultural heritage of the INPS in which each volume is dedicated to a region. A journey that stopped in Turin this morning, with the presentation, as part of the International Book Fair, of ‘Inps and Art – Piedmont’third volume of the series dedicated to the heritage of works of art that the institute preserves in the Piedmontese regional and provincial offices. “I like to imagine these works of art within our offices as silent witnesses of the social transformations that have taken place in time,” he said Filippo Bonanni, regional director of INPS Piedmont– These are works that, for decades, have witnessed the work of our employees but also the transit of users who, over time, have needed our services through our offices.” The volume presents twenty works of art ranging from ‘Daphne and Apollo’ by Claudio Francesco Beaumont, to the oil on canvas ‘Landscape’ by Arturo Pividori.” The artistic creations contained in the collection – explained Bonanni – are the result of years of acquisitions, donations and collaborations with local and national artists, who have contributed to enriching our working environment in Piedmont, to inspiring anyone who has had the privilege of admiring themthis is because art is not only beauty and creativity, it is also a bridge that connects generations, demonstrating how it can be a vehicle of knowledge and social growth, a universal language that speaks directly to the heart”. An objective, that of promote and enhance knowledge of its artistic and cultural heritage, which the organization aims to pursue also through the ‘INPS art and culture’ project. “This is an initiative that involves the creation of a digital, multidisciplinary and multi-channel communication platform with the aim of enhancing the artistic heritage and cultural initiatives of the Institute as well as promoting events, stimulating the creation of new ones and preserving their memory,” he underlined Diego De Felice, central director of INPS communications. A project for the valorisation and dissemination of the Institute’s works of art and its patrimonial excellence “which also aims to create a space for debate. In a few months we hope to be able to present the first prototype of the platform”, concluded De Felice.
