FEC
The Ermanno Casoli Foundation (FEC) was established in 2007 and promotes initiatives in which contemporary art serves as an educational and methodological tool to spark innovative processes in the workplace.
Activities
Every year, art enters the company through regular events that are internationally recognized and award-winning. There are two main activities: E-straordinario and the Ermanno Casoli Award. Both involve workshops in which internationally renowned artists collaborate with Elica employees to create works of art that remain within the company.
This special collection was included in the volume “Global Corporate Collection” (2015), dedicated to the 100 most beautiful corporate art collections in the world, and in the publication promoted by Confindustria, “The Mark of Art in Businesses. Italian Corporate Collections of Modern and Contemporary Art” (2024).
The Ermanno Casoli Award is given to artists who demonstrate a particular sensitivity to social issues and the spirit of collaboration. Since 2013, these two projects have been joined by E-straordinario for Kids, an art workshop dedicated to employees’ children.
