Personalities


The Olivetti Family

It is normal that the ties between a family and the company founded by that family should run deep and, in many instances, continue over the years. What is perhaps less common, both in and outside Italy, is the influence of a family of entrepreneurs on the surrounding area, not just on its economic development, but on its social and cultural life, too. At this level, the Canavese and the Olivetti family are the two protagonists of a unique story, the story of an exemplary "web" of ties that produced excellent results, from the growth of a company to the global growth of an entire community - certain periods of crisis and tension both within Olivetti itself and in its relations with the Canavese notwithstanding.

The papers of the leading figures of the Olivetti Family are housed in the Olivetti Historical Archives. Documents, manuscripts, photographs, letters, notes, projects, reports: thousands of archive items describing the various personalities in the exercise of their profession and their demanding daily duties, in the complexities of their personal lives, in the creation of a network of wide-ranging and high-level relationships and in their fervent bid to promote the comprehensive growth of the local territory.
