The year 2006 marks the 175th anniversary of the foundation of Assicurazioni Generali, and we are celebrating this milestone with the most outstanding annual financial statements in the history of our Company. I am not saying this in the sense of resting on our laurels, but as a source of inspiration, so that in the years to come we will continue to strive for and achieve increasingly ambitious objectives, consolidating our position of excellence on an international level in the future. Our success is the outcome of expertise, dedication and the desire of our human resources to surpass themselves day after day. At the same time, it also reflects our unfaltering ability to be reliable and innovative in responding to the needs and expectations of the growing numbers of customers who continue to choose us. As a way of acknowledging everyone’s contribution to the growth of our Group, we have planned various events to commemorate this important anniversary and allow the general public to join us in our celebration. In keeping with our tradition, we have planned a series of cultural and artistic events, including a commemorative medal. I had the honour of giving the first medal to Giorgio Napolitano, the President of the Italian Republic. We will also publish several books that illustrate the history of Assicurazioni Generali from various standpoints, including works dedicated to agriculture and the Group’s commitment in this sector, an aspect that is not very well known. We have also decided to propose the free assignment of shares in the Parent Company to our employees. Moreover, unlike what we have done in the past, we have decided not to limit this to Assicurazioni Generali employees but to extend it to all Group companies. This is because the changes that have been made in the organizational structure of our Group over the past few years have been so profound that they have indissolubly tied the Company’s success to that of the entire Group. The distribution of these shares is thus our way of thanking everyone for their contribution and of making each person – regardless of the company for which he or she works – more and more a part of the destiny and future of Assicurazioni Generali. 10 At our Central Head Office, we have staged an exhibition of archaeological artefacts from Ancient Rome, unearthed in the early twentieth century during excavation work to construct the Company’s offices in Rome. We have opened the exhibition to the public and to schools in particular, in order to arouse students’ curiosity and interest in the “Roots of the Present”, using an innovative exhibition layout designed to capture the visitors’ attention. The large number of visitors and the appreciation shown by young people and scholars alike have confirmed the value of the exhibition and inspired us to stage it at our Head Office for Italy in Mogliano Veneto. I would like to conclude by emphasising that everything I have said reflects a trait that has characterized our Company from the very beginning: the capacity to evolve constantly, introducing innovations yet also treasuring the values, know- how and experience we have gained over the years. We feel it is extremely important to remain faithful to our roots, founding principles and standards of behaviour towards our stakeholders with whom we interact as part of our business. Indeed, these core values are central to our Ethical Code and are a key part of our strategies. These values are the underpinnings of our long-term commitment in the areas of welfare, culture and sports. Notably, the Group companies have recently added environmental concerns to our list of commitments, as we are aware of the important contribution we can make to protecting the environment, limiting the direct impacts of corporate management on our surroundings, and, indirectly, making a commitment in the area of corporate investments. We are convinced that continuing to carry out our role – in the economic context and in the communities in which we operate – with great responsibility and respect for these principles is the only path to follow in order to maintain our credibility and success in the future.

  • Annual Report 2016 Preserving the Valuable Creating the New Palace Christalnigg Is a Special Jewel of Baroque Art
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Preserving the Valuable Creating the New Palace Christalnigg is a special jewel of Baroque art. For a long time, it was the meeting place and hub of public life in Klagenfurt and has been the property of BKS Bank for the past 70 years. From 2014 to 2016 it was restored with great care. The stucco ceiling covers an area of around 600 square metres. Estimates places its erection at some time from 1730 to 1740. It is said to have been created by the then very famous stucco plasterer Kilian Pittner and his son Marx Josef who also designed the stucco for the Porcia Castle and the Klagenfurt Cathedral. The restoration of the stucco ceiling was done applying very fine artwork in traditional techniques and in close cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office.

  • Italy, Austria and the Anschluss: Italian Involvement in Austrian Political and Diplomatic Affairs, 1928-1938
    RICE UNIVERSITY ITALY, AUSTRIA AND THE ANSCHLUSS: ITALIAN INVOLVEMENT IN AUSTRIAN POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS, 1928-1938 by Frederick R. Zuber A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director's signature: /£?. 6taZ)As Houston, Texas Hay, 1973 ABSTRACT ITALY, AUSTRIA AUD THE ANSCHLUSS: ITALIAN INVOLVEMENT IN AUSTRIAN POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS, 1928-1938 Frederick R. Zuber Italy's involvement in Austrian political and dip¬ lomatic affairs during the interwar period generally has been studied in light of her acquiesence in the Austro-German Anschluss of March 15* 1938. Mussolini's acceptance of the union of these two German states is frequently interpreted as yet another manifestation of the growing cooperation between Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany which, beginning with their collaboration during the Spanish Civil War, eventually led to the events of Munich and the Second World War. While not without a degree of validity, this approach to Italy's involvement in the Anschluss tends to ignore the basic differences in policy and interests that existed between these two states. The resulting image, therefore, overemphasizes the closeness of the affinity between Rome and Berlin. ' This study seeks to present a balanced view of Italy's involvement in the Anschluss by tracing the rather complex course of Italian foreign policy in Austria during the period from 1928 to 1938. The examination of Austro-Italian relations is divided into three phases. The first, extending from the initial Italian contacts with various rightist groups in Austria in 1928 to the assassination of the Austrian chancellor, Engelbert Dollfuss, in July, 1931+j marked the development of an Italian "protectorate" over Austria and the expansive phase of Italy*s quest for hegemony in Central Europe.

  • Continuity and Change in the Vienna Police Force, 1914–1945 Part I
    S: I. M. O. N. SHOAH: I NTERVENTION. M ETHODS. DOCUMENTATION. Mark Lewis Continuity and Change in the Vienna Police Force, 1914–1945 Part I Abstract In 1914, before the First World War, the Austrian state police and military intelligence cre- ated a new type of imperial surveillance system in the Habsburg Monarchy to track spies. In 1938, after the Nazi take-over of Austria, the Gestapo took control of the state police and also reshaped the Kriminalpolizei and Sicherheitswache to suit Nazi policy. Were there elements in preventative policing under the Habsburg Empire and later political systems that made it easier for the Nazis to reshape the police? Or were the crimes committed by the Viennese police under Nazism only possible because of Nazi restructuring and ideology? Instead of a straight-line progression or a sudden Nazi radicalisation, this paper argues that four differ- ent political systems required new policies, while the force itself struggled with internal problems at certain points. However, since the police is a social and cultural institution, there were also prejudices and investigative practices that persisted across eras. Part I of this study traces transformations in the police from 1914 to 1934, while Part II, which will be published in the next issue of S.I.M.O.N, will cover Austrofascism and Nazism. During four different political systems – the Habsburg imperial system during the First World War, the First Austrian Republic, the interwar Austro-fascist state, and National Socialism – the Viennese police held a variety of attitudes toward the state, acting variously as a defender, an ambiguous rival, or, in the context of the Nazi police state, as a partly autonomous power centre.

  • Austria Between Central Europe, Paneuropean Dreams, the “Anschluss” to Nazi Germany and in Exile Abroad 1918/19–45
    63 II . A LOST CAUSE: AUSTRIA BETWEEN CENTRAL EUROPE, PANEUROPEAN DREAMS, THE “ANSCHLUSS” TO NAZI GERMANY AND IN EXILE ABROAD 1918/19–45 1 . THE END OF THE EUROPEAN GREAT POWERS AND A MAN WITH HIS VISION The history of the integration and unification of Europe was often a result of breaks and rifts closely connected with political concepts that ended up reorgan- izing the continent. An overview of these attempts is presented in an illustration,1 which shows that these plans were developed for the most part against the back- ground of far-reaching changes that were characterized by crises and splits: the end of the First World War in 1918 has been viewed as a twofold radical change which consisted of both the internal and external revolutionizing of the world of nation-states. The collapse of the Concert of European Powers (1815–1914) went hand in hand with the fall of four monarchies, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the German Empire (Kaiserreich), the Ottoman Empire, and Tsarist Russia as well as their transition to both democratic-republican and authoritarian and dic- tatorial political systems.2 Austria’s foreign policy was greatly influenced by all of these crucial developments. Its foreign and domestic policy had been operating in the shadow of the question of Anschluss and the virulent scenarios of civil war since 1918–19. Count Richard Nikolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi’s ideas on “Paneurope”3 were reflexes to the triple crises of the years from 1917–19 which arose from a crisis 1 See Graph 1: Attempts at the Reorganization of Europe and Suggestions for its Integration and the documents 1–13 in the appendix “Documents”.
