The 2011 annual report continues along the same artistic lines as last year’s report, but brings them up to date. In 2010, we included a series of paintings taken from Banco Popolare’s private collection. This year we have decided to present you with an interpretation of the Group’s trademark. Five years ago, when Banco Popolare was founded, you first saw this symbol of three stylised people in red, blue and green. Five years on, our research indicates that our shareholders appreciate this pictogram, which portrays both Banco Popolare and the Group’s banks and trademarks. That is how we came up with the idea of showing you our various interpretations of the same over the years, as well as artwork submitted as part of a competition for students of Art Academies that relate to our historic roots. Their work is both a pleasure to see and interesting, so we invite you to look through the pictures and also read the titles and wording; they recount a brief history of Banco Popolare and of its values conveyed once again in the pay- off “Your roots, your future”.

  • Aviva to Sell Italian Joint Venture to Banco Bpm
    25 August 2017 AVIVA TO SELL ITALIAN JOINT VENTURE TO BANCO BPM Aviva Italia Holding SpA ("Aviva") today announces that it has exercised an option to sell its entire 50% shareholding in its joint venture in Italy, Avipop Assicurazioni S.p.A. ("the joint venture") and its wholly owned subsidiary Avipop Vita S.p.A. ("AV") to Banco BPM S.p.A [1] ("Banco BPM"). The joint venture is owned by Aviva and Banco BPM and, together with AV, distributes life and general insurance products in Italy through Banco BPM's bank branch network. Today's announcement follows a notification received by Aviva on 29 June 2017 of Banco BPM's intention to not renew its bancassurance agreement with Aviva. In 2016, the two businesses contributed £0.2bn to Aviva's IFRS net assets 2 and generated approximately £14m IFRS operating profit before tax3. Aviva formed a bancassurance partnership in protection and general insurance with the former Banco Popolare in 2007. As is customary in bancassurance arrangements, the original agreement between Aviva and Banco Popolare included an option for Aviva to sell its entire shareholding to the bank in the event of a termination of the distribution agreement. The value of the put option will be determined according to terms set out in the shareholders' agreement and will be announced in due course. Proceeds will be received in cash on completion. Aviva's joint ventures in Italy with UBI, UniCredit, as well as business units Aviva Life S.p.A. and Aviva Italia S.p.A. are unaffected. Aviva Italy offers life and general insurance products to over two million customers.

  • Il Messaggio Trasmesso Dagli Inni Nazionali. Il Caso Di Unione Indiana
    Il messaggio trasmesso dagli inni nazionali Il caso di Unione indiana e Bangladesh Donatella Dolcini doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7359/826-2017-dolc Abstract As a National Anthem is a symbol of the Nation it represents, the messages it conveys must impart a clear knowledge of the State itself. After briefly examin- ing the nature and the meanings of these messages in the national anthems of some ‘Western’ countries, this dissertation focuses the case of Indian Union and Bangladesh. Due to the factitious creation of both the States from the unitary body of historic India, in fact, their national anthems unusually share the same author: the worldwide famous Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. Being born in Kolkata (1861) and having died in Santiniketan 1 (1941), i.e. before the Bengal was dismembered into Indian Union and Pakistan in 1947, he remained his whole life simply a Bengali man, thus belonging to both Nations at the same time. Parole chiave: Bangladesh, India, inni, messaggi, Tagore. Keywords: anthems, Bangladesh, India, messages, Tagore. 1. Gli inni nella storia Gli inni costituiscono un genere letterario di tradizione assai remota in tutto il mondo, dalla civiltà egizia a quella sanscrita, ebraica ecc. È in Eu- ropa che cominciarono a essere così denominati in ambiente greco-omeri- co (ὕμνος), intesi dapprima come ‘canti’ in senso generico, in seguito con 1 Sede del centro educativo bengalese, poi divenuto Università Vishwa Bharati, da lui fondato nel 1901. 387 Sguardi sull’Asia e altri scritti in onore di Alessandra Cristina Lavagnino - A cura di C.

  • Le Origini Il Debutto Dai Moti Del 1848 All'impresa Dei Mille
    IL CANTO DEGLI ITALIANI FONTE: WIKIPEDIA (SINTESI) Il Canto degli Italiani, conosciuto anche come Fratelli d'Italia, Inno di Mameli, Canto nazionale o Inno d'Italia, è un canto risorgimentale scritto da Goffredo Mameli e musicato da Michele Novaro nel 1847, inno nazionale della Repubblica Italiana. Il testo si compone di sei strofe e un ritornello che si alterna alle stesse. Il canto fu molto popolare durante il Risorgimento e nei decenni seguenti, sebbene dopo l'unità d'Italia (1861) come inno del Regno d'Italia fosse stata scelta la Marcia Reale, che era il brano ufficiale di Casa Savoia. Il Canto degli Italiani era infatti considerato troppo rivoluzionario rispetto alla situazione politica dell'epoca: Fratelli d'Italia, di chiara connotazione repubblicana e giacobina, mal si conciliava con l'esito del Risorgimento, che fu di stampo monarchico. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale l'Italia diventò una repubblica e il Canto degli Italiani fu scelto, il 12 ottobre 1946, come inno nazionale provvisorio, ruolo che ha conservato anche in seguito rimanendo inno de facto della Repubblica Italiana. Nei decenni si sono susseguite varie iniziative parlamentari per renderlo inno nazionale ufficiale, fino a giungere alla legge nº 181 del 4 dicembre 2017, che ha dato al Canto degli Italiani lo status di inno nazionale de iure. Le origini Il testo del Canto degli Italiani fu scritto dal genovese Goffredo Mameli, allora giovane studente e fervente patriota, in un contesto storico caratterizzato da quel patriottismo diffuso che già preannunciava i moti del 1848 e la prima guerra di indipendenza. Dopo aver scartato l'idea di adattarlo a musiche già esistenti, il 10 novembre 1847 Goffredo Mameli inviò il testo dell'inno a Torino per farlo musicare dal compositore genovese Michele Novaro che ne fu subito conquistato e, il 24 novembre 1847, decise di musicarlo.
