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.

CONCERT OF NAPLES
Naples, 2 July 2008
To say that the July 2 concert in Piazza del Plebiscito,
Naples, was a symbolic event is putting it lightly.
Presenting not just one orchestra but two, uniting them under the baton of one
of the most important conductors in the world, and having them perform one of
the greatest compositions ever written, before an audience of more than 10,000
people, was not an everyday occasion.

FULBRIGHT-FINMECCANICA SCHOLARSHIP FOR A TWO-YEAR MASTER'S COURSE IN THE
USA
Building one's future, especially for young people, is probably one of the
greatest adventures that life can offer. There are few more exciting things
than imagining one's life and then setting out to achieve it, investing hope
and energy to make one's dreams come true.
Building the future is also Finmeccanica's task to some extent - a path
naturally determined by its inclination towards high technology and everything
that is new.
