Protecting our historical and artistic heritage is essential to preserving a community’s identity, memory, and values. Every monument, work of art, villa, or garden is a unique testimony of the past, a bridge between generations that tells stories, traditions, and knowledge.

The FAI - Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano (Italian National Trust) plays a crucial role in this mission. Thanks to the commitment of its volunteers, donors, and supporters, it works to restore, enhance, and open to the public many sites that are often forgotten or at risk of decay.

For Mitsubishi Electric Europe Italian Branch, supporting FAI means actively contributing to the preservation of castles, abbeys, parks, and historic buildings that might otherwise be lost. It also means promoting respect for cultural heritage by engaging citizens and schools in initiatives that raise awareness of the importance of protecting the world around us.

Since 2006, our commitment as a Corporate Golden Donor has continued to grow. This year, we are proud to play a leading role in an expanded project by supporting the “Calendario Eventi nei Beni FAI 2025” (event Calendar 2025) as a sponsor. Our contribution helps FAI carry out the many initiatives featured in its Event Calendar from FAI Summer Evenings, with late openings, concerts, treks, and outdoor film screenings, to major flower and garden shows, as well as exhibitions, guided tours, tastings, and creative workshops.

This new step has allowed us to offer our colleagues over 150 free entries to visit FAI heritage sites and attend events from the Event Calendar, in addition to the 100 entries and 4 memberships already provided as part of our support as a Corporate Golden Donor. An initiative welcomed with great enthusiasm by our colleagues, who every year appreciate its benefits and cultural value.

“Thanks to the tickets provided by the company, I was able to discover places of extraordinary beauty and learn fascinating stories through the words of passionate guides and volunteers who combine historical details with anecdotes and curiosities rarely found elsewhere. This year, I had the chance to visit Castello di Masino, Villa Della Porta Bozzolo, and Casa Macchi: experiences that helped me better understand the deep value of the heritage around us and feel part of something greater. Knowing that each visit directly supports restoration and maintenance work makes me feel proud to contribute to the preservation and promotion of Italy’s cultural heritage.” said Donatella Carpani, Mitsubishi Electric Europe Italian branch employee.
