Inspired by Living and Working in Spoleto, Italy SEND THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS M E E T / PAVIA ROSATI Founder of Fathom Ponte delle Torri in Spoleto, Italy 1 I'm inspired by having spent a month living and working in a palazzo in Spoleto – a hill town in Umbria, Italy. I love my place in New York City, but it’s woefully lacking in frescoes. 2 I feel most creative when the unexpected connections are suddenly so very clear. And when I’m happy – there’s no productivity in misery for me. 3 My advice don’t lie to yourself – you won’t get away with it for very long 4 My style icon Marella Agnelli – classic, elegant, modern – if she were a hotel, she’d be the brand new J.K. Place Rome. click on any image to learn more 5 Everyone should own just a little bit less – we exaggerate with stuff, I’m guilty of this too, of course. 6 On my playlist Sinatra – my music tastes are pretty varied (except for country, which I truly hate), but I never, ever tire of that man’s voice. 7 My cheap thrill walking through a city after everyone else has gone to bed 8 My necessary luxury amazing meals 9 My favorite character this changes every six hours, depending whom I’ve just met – I’m not fickle, I just have a big appetite for new people and ideas. 10 My next adventure will find me in Chile, Botswana, or back in Italy again. © 2013 Conde Nast to unsubscribe, click here have an idea? contact us .

Press Release (PDF)
G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y 14 December 2015 My camera and I, together we have the power to confer or to take away. —Richard Avedon They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. —Andy Warhol Gagosian London is pleased to present the first major exhibition to pair works by Richard Avedon and Andy Warhol. Both artists rose to prominence in postwar America with parallel artistic output that occasionally overlapped. Their most memorable images, produced in response to changing cultural mores, are icons of the twentieth century. Portraiture was a shared focus of both artists, and they made use of repetition and serialization: Avedon through the reproducible medium of photography, and in his group photographs, for which he meticulously positioned, collaged, and reordered images; Warhol in his method of stacked screenprinting, which enabled the consistent reproduction of an image. Avedon’s distinctive gelatin-silver prints and Warhol's boldly colored silkscreens variously depict many of the same recognizable faces, including Marella Agnelli, Bianca Jagger, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Rudolf Nureyev. Both Avedon and Warhol originated from modest beginnings and had tremendous commercial success working for major magazines in New York, beginning in the 1940s. The 1960s marked artistic turning points for both artists as they moved away increasingly from strictly commercial work towards their mature independent styles. The works in the exhibition, which date from the 1950s through the 1990s, emphasize such common themes as social and political power; the evolving acceptance of cultural differences; the inevitability of mortality; and the glamour and despair of celebrity.

Not only did he modernize women’s closets—most importantly introducing pants as essentials—but his extraordinary eye and technique allowed every shape and size to wear his clothes. “My job is to work for women,” he said. “Not only mannequins, beautiful women, or rich women. But all women.” True, he dressed the swans, as Truman Capote called the rarefied group of glamorous socialites such as Marella Agnelli and Nan Kempner, and the stars, such as Lauren Bacall and Catherine Deneuve, but he also gave tremendous happiness to his unknown clients across the world. Whatever the occasion, there was always a sense of being able to “count on Yves.” It was small wonder that British Vogue often called him “The Saint” because in his 40-year career women felt protected and almost blessed wearing his designs.

Press Release
Simon Starling A-A’, B-B’ 15 October 2019 - 11 January 2020 Galleria Franco Noero is pleased to announce the opening A-A’, B-B’, the sixth solo exhibition by Simon Starling and the first to be shown in the spaces of Piazza Carignano 2. This expansive new body of work is composed of an intricate network of objects and images held together by physical transformations, juxtapositions, historical facts, speculation and the artist’s own brand of logic. The exhibition is, in part, inspired by the elaborate 18th century interior of the exhibition space it will occupy on Piazza Carignano. The project is in two parts. An exhibition currently happening at the Modern Institute in Glasgow until the end of October, followed by the one in Piazza Carignano. The exhibition’s title, A-A’, B-B’, refers to two cuts made approximately two hundred years apart, through two very different objects – Giambattista Tiepolo’s painting The Finding of Moses and a blue Fiat 125 Special, which was a favourite car of Giovanni Agnelli, the former head of the Turin- based manufacturer and an influential Italian industrialist. Starling’s ability to identify connections in seemingly disparate narratives ties the story of the cutting of The Finding of Moses to the Fiat supremo. The Finding of Moses, painted circa 1736–38, takes a humble biblical story and glamorously restages it in the context of, what appears to be, 17th century courtly splendour with all the accompanying trappings; ladies-in-waiting, halberdiers, dwarfs and sylphlike greyhounds. Even the lowly halberdiers are dressed in noble finery.

Letters to Shareholders – First 10 Years Collection 2.82 MB
Letters to Shareholders First 10 years INVESTOR DAY 21 November 2019 I’m grateful for the support you have shown Exor during our first decade as we’ve worked to change our scope, form and organization. We have, however, not changed our purpose, which is to build great companies, and we look forward to continuing to do that with your support. I have enjoyed writing our annual letters to you as they are a special moment each year to pause and learn from our past and to think about our future. Going through those letters, what is reassuring is that there has been consistency between the intentions we expressed and the outcomes we achieved - something we are determined to maintain going forward. As we have reflected on our next decade, we have spent time defining the culture we’ve created within Exor, which combines an entrepreneurial spirit, financial discipline, clarity of purpose and a set of shared values. We believe these will continue to provide us with a strong base on which to build and create value for all of our stakeholders. I would like to conclude with a special thank you to all my colleagues both within Exor and also throughout our companies for their many achievements to date and, more importantly, in anticipation of the things we will achieve together in the future. 2009 Dear Shareholders, 2009 was a very significant year for our Company. First and foremost, in March we were able to complete the merger between IFIL and IFI, the two historical holding companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, to create Exor, a company now 47% held by the market and 53% by Giovanni Agnelli e C., the private company fully owned by my family.

The pinacoteca permanently houses the private art collection which belonged to Giovanni and Marella Agnelli. Opened on September 20th 2002, the pinacoteca marks the final step in the 20 year long restructuring process of the whole Lingotto site, signed by Renzo Piano. The structure that today hosts the pinacoteca is the result of a long historical and architectural process of development that begins at the turn of the 20th century. So I thought it was important to give you a history of what the Lingotto used to be before it then becomes what it is today.
