WHO WE SUPPORT

Over the course of 60 years in business, our corporate ethos has always been guided by responsibility, solidarity and respect for the community. We invest in training and support cultural and sporting initiatives, firmly believing that these values should underpin every aspect of our work.

Enic for sport

Sport embodies and promotes many of the values on which a modern civilised society is founded. We believe in this, just as we believe in our local area. That is why we support ACF Fiorentina and Florentine basketball, as well as the development of young people, by backing top-class football academies.

Charity event

Whenever projects worthy of our support are put forward to us, we are there.

Enic for Culture

We are fortunate to live and work in an environment enriched by the presence of works of art that are unique in the world. Over the years, we have sought to play our part in initiatives and restoration projects, helping to restore to their former beauty those places which have subsequently served as the setting for our events.

Since 1964, we have been a leading company in the events organisation sector

ENIC

ACF FIORENTINA

Of course, we support our local team. We have been sponsoring Fiorentina since 2005, and our staff are present in the VIP stand.

ENIC

ENIC BASKET

Il mondo cestistico fiorentino ha bisogno di un nuovo slancio.

An important sport, one in which we believe, and which we hope will once again bring our city significant success. Enic Basket currently competes in the Serie B league.

NICCO CLUB

Since 2014, we have been working alongside the Niccoclub Foundation to organise the Niccolò Galli Memorial, one of the most important youth tournaments not only at national level but beyond.

The Memorial takes place in Florence, where the Foundation is based, and features the leading Italian youth teams: Fiorentina, Inter, Milan, Roma, Bologna, Juventus Turin and Atalanta, amongst many others.

A great many figures from the worlds of football, sport and journalism have been honoured by Giovanni Galli and his family: Totti, Maldini, Ancelotti, Cannavaro, Batistuta, Zanetti, Antognoni, Sacchi, Gattuso and many others. All proceeds from the Memorial have been donated to various important charitable initiatives, including the creation of the inclusive playground in front of the Artemio Franchi Stadium, now known as the ‘Giardino Niccolò Galli’.

Mia.DI.

MiaDi is a project run by the Meyer Foundation which aims to create a network of excellence, comprising entrepreneurs and representatives of civil society, to support the development of the “Meyer” Children’s Hospital and promote its cultural growth in the social and healthcare sector.

We help organise the annual charity dinner, which takes place in Florence at various venues.

A.T.T.

We have been supporting the Associazione Tumori Toscana since its foundation. The association provides free, round-the-clock home care for cancer patients.

The A.T.T. currently provides daily care for around 300 patients through a multi-disciplinary team comprising doctors, psychologists, registered nurses and social care workers. All professionals working with the A.T.T. are paid by the Association itself, which relies solely on donations from private individuals and funds raised through promotional campaigns and events.

We organise some of these events: ‘Ballando con il cuore’ and ‘All’Opera per l’ATT’, which takes place at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, as well as the Association’s 20th-anniversary celebrations in 2019.

A.B.F.

We support the Foundation set up by Maestro Andrea Bocelli and his family.

The Foundation was established to help people facing hardship due to illness, poverty and social exclusion by promoting and supporting national and international projects that help them overcome these barriers and realise their full potential.

We have organised the opening ceremonies for two new schools in the Marche region, in Sarnano and Muccia, areas affected by the 2016 earthquake, both of which have been completely rebuilt by the Foundation.

A.I.R.C

For over 50 years, AIRC has been supporting scientific research into cancer treatment, backing innovative scientific projects through ongoing fundraising, disseminating scientific information and promoting a culture of prevention.

Over the past few years, we have worked with AIRC to organise fundraising events, including NastroRosa, in support of breast cancer research.

Restoration of the “Grazia” – M. del Naccherino

During the reign of Cosimo II (1609–1621), the Boboli Gardens were extended to the south, and numerous sculptors were commissioned to create statues alluding to the times and myths of classical antiquity.

Among them was Michelangelo del Naccherino, a pupil of Giambologna, to whom the statue of ‘Grazia’ is attributed.

Private: Villa Lorenzi Project

Five mayors of Florence have supported, encouraged and championed the Villa Lorenzi Project. All five mayors, including the current one, Dario Nardella, were present at the celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of this fantastic project, one of the charities that ENIC has always supported. The Salone dei Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio, packed as never before, paid tribute to the founder, Zaira Conti.

From the very beginning, the project has been based on the recognition that both families and young people in difficulty need specialist support to help them overcome what are often extremely difficult situations.

Prevention is at the heart of it all. Over the years, prevention work has expanded not only within Villa Lorenzi but throughout the city, with sessions held in schools and at community gatherings where the message can be taken on board more easily. Cardinal Betori was also present, along with all the city’s authorities.

Restoration of the Studiolo at Casa Buonarroti

This ‘study’ was commissioned by Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger, great-grandson of the great Michelangelo.

He wanted to create a space for himself, one of the utmost refinement, where he could retreat to study and meditate, a place that would offer shelter from the harsh winter weather.

This small study, known as a ‘scrittoio’, is adorned with delicate paintings of landscapes, flocks of swallows and a trompe l’oeil panel.

Restoration of "The Coronation of the Virgin"

A 14th-century triptych by Bernardo Daddi. It is housed in the Accademia Gallery in Florence.

Questo restauro, offerto in occasione della organizzazione di una serata/evento sponsorizzata, è stato seguito da un programma quinquennale di restauri a cura dell’azienda stessa.

Restoration of the “Grazia” – M. del Naccherino

The bas-relief is located beneath the Ammannati Loggia in the courtyard of Palazzo Pitti.

It was created to commemorate the mule that helped Ammannati’s workers lift the heavy building materials during the palace’s renovation. The work was created by an unknown artist.

Restoration of the "Suonatore di Piva Nano’"

Attributed to Pietro Tacca, this statue is situated near the Isola del Giardino in the Boboli Gardens, above the boundary wall of the Limonaia.

Created in 1620 to adorn the garden itself, it was, like *The Seated Musician*, one of those sculptural groups known as ‘grotesques’.
It was typical of the Medici court’s tastes to put human deformities on public display for ridicule.

Restoration of the Seated Musician

A sculpture attributed to Giovanni Caccini, which originally stood in a sort of small hut near the Isolotto in the Boboli Gardens and was moved from there during the renovations carried out under the Lorraines.

Like the ‘bagpipe player’, this too was part of those sculptural groups known as ‘grotesques’.

Restoration of ‘The Rest on the Flight into Egypt’ – Bonifazio Veronese

The painting, which is housed in the Palatine Gallery at Palazzo Pitti, once belonged to the collections of Grand Prince Ferdinando de’ Medici, a lover of Venetian painting.

The restoration has highlighted the high quality of the work and confirmed its attribution to Bonifazio Veronese.

Restoration of the Museum of Musical Instruments

Donation to the fund for the restoration of instruments at the Museum of Musical Instruments of the L. Cherubini Conservatoire of Music, which operates under the same management as the Accademia Gallery in Florence.
There are around fifty instruments on display, most of which come from the Medici and Lorraine collections.
