Vitali and its inclination to art... sponsor of the exhibition of the painter Paolo Ghilardi
Vitali has a natural inclination to art. The sensibility shown towards arts in general and in particular to painting, brought the Group to the decision to sponsor the exhibition of Paolo Ghilardi. The painter was born in Bagnatica in 1930 he lives and works in Stezzano. His first works tended to a figurative style, which was then followed by a study of geometric forms, i.e., on the structure of the forms rather than on the elements that make them up. The result was a breakaway into a more coherent abstractionism. In 1976, his vision moved from the two dimensions of the canvas to the three dimensional world of space and colour.
Vitali and the environment
The offices in Cisano Bergamasco will soon see a new eco-friendly car parking. The project foresees a suspended steel structure covering part of the area destined for the staff and visitors’ parking. The structure will consist of two large rectangular steel columns, made-up of circular section profiles, connected together with a beam of a clear span of 40 metres. The roofing material foresees photovoltaic panels capable of producing clean energy in sufficient quantities to run the entire production plant located in the area.
ARCA Architecture magazine- Article dedicated to the Vitali logos
ARCA is an international magazine featuring architecture, design and visual communication.The article (magazine n° 223) reports the study of our logo created by the Studio Iliprandi Associati of Milan. The Vitali logo has already been the subject of a study in World Wide Identity, a publication that describes the high-quality products of the most important international graphic designers. Extract from n. 223 of ARCA, the international magazine dedicated to architecture, design and visual communication. “In the most recent trade-marks designed by Iliprandi & Associati, the perceptive and verbal structure of the visual message, on which the attention of the author has always been concentrated, still appears in its classic form, with evidence of the irresistible urge to experiment, that has characterised his entire work up until now. Even though classicism in itself is timeless, Iliprandi still manages to drag it through time to face the realities of the harsh world of today”.
