In order for there to be genuine growth, it is essential that the creation of industrial and economic value be accompanied by the protection of beauty, and sometimes its discovery.
It is starting with this conviction, with the ideal that company commitment and technological excellence must go hand in hand with a concrete, conspicuous presence in society, that Finmeccanica watches with the mindfulness of a participant over matters of culture and art.
Two very closely related key ideas - tradition and innovation - act as a guiding star to a desire which is reflected in numerous initiatives involving financial backing, or connected with putting forward its own avant-garde abilities, to a plurality of routes open to every field of knowledge.
Exhibitions, restoration enterprises, concerts and festivals combine to describe the variety of ways in which the culture of yesterday and today meet enterprise: the scope of a sphere which is unconstrained in time or discipline, whilst being especially enthusiastic to protect and promote the immense Italian cultural heritage.
Tradition is precisely innovation. Because concerning ourselves with our own history means setting down roots, and therefore strengthening, our drive towards the future.
