Leading Italian entrepreneur Adriano Olivetti is being honoured with a two-day event at Ancona on the 31 May-1June 2013. Entitled: L'impresa del Volto Umano (Business Enerprise with a Human Face) a series of seminars, performances and debates will highlight the legacy left by Olivetti, who organized his factory on the principles of efficiency and respect for his work force.
The Olivetti company, best known for its typewriters, reached its moment of maximum glory in the 1960s, when it presented the world's first personal computer, Programma 101, at the 1965 New York Fair, where it caused an authentic sensation.
The Ancona event, held in the Adriano Olivetti Business School in Villa Favorita, will include a pre-view of the Italian RAI TV film on the life of Adriano Olivetti, as well as a charity Gala Dinner with Italian actor and film director Luca Barbareschi.
