Compagnia di San Paolo
From 25th January 1563, when it was founded as a charitable brotherhood, the Compagnia di San Paolo has been an institution serving the society where it has its roots. Today, the Compagnia is one of the largest private-law foundations in Europe. Thus the Compagnia is not a bank, although it proudly continues with the civic and philanthropic traditions which were those of Istituto Bancario San Paolo, neither is it a public body, though it dialogues and collaborates with many public institutions at local, national and European levels. On the other hand it is an active member of civil society, a non profit organisation which, albeit private, pursues aims of public interest and social use, in order to foster the civil, cultural and economic development of the community in which it operates. The revenues generated by its assets accumulated over the centuries, and which we undertake to pass on intact to future generations, are made available for these aims. In particular, the Compagnia di San Paolo is active in the sectors of scientific, economic and juridical research; education; art and the preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage and activities; health; assistance to the socially deprived categories of society. Although it is deeply rooted in Turin, and works mainly in Piedmont and Liguria, the Compagnia plays a significant role in national, European and international projects.
