Something new on the web

The Lionello Industrial Park´s new web portal is now online

The EdiC S.P.A. has given its website a new look, taking on an institutional aspect and generating a new and original instrument of communication dedicated solely to the Lionello Bonfanti Industrial Park. 

It is an important step for the first joint-stock association of the Economy of Communion, now numbering nearly 6000 partners throughout Italy and which has seen a rise in the number of visitors to the industrial park of nearly 55% each year, from 2006 until today.

The web portal, www.pololionellobonfanti.it, and the new site of the EdiC Spa, www.edicspa.com, are the fruit of one of many communications additions foreseen in the "Plan of Development and Communication" which the EoC approved in 2009. Among the plan´s objectives are promotional communication of the industrial park and its new spaces and services, more efficient circulation of information for partners, and promotion of the EoC network of businesses at the industrial park and in Italy.

The EoC Expo Express, all together to the Industrial Park!

Monday, 05 July 2010 22:02

Xcogito, a resident EoC business of the Lionello Industrial Park, launches an interesting initiative to promote the 2010 EoC Expo

The idea is that of a web site, www.edcexpoexpress.it, which is an informational and logistical instrument for all who will participate in the Expo 2010 (September, 16-19, 2010). It is both a means of promotion, information and diffusion, all at once. Through the site, people can register to travel together in buses to the Industrial Park from various Italian cities. One can also get the latest information on details of the program and various events, and on single-day and mult-day participation, with the necessary forms and costs. The site is stylish and youthful. It has news, comments and even a nice calendar that counts down how many days are left until the 2010 Expo.

To better understand the spirit of this initiative, we asked Andrea Baldas, of Xcogito, a few questions:

Andrea, how can you explain why you started the EoC Expo Express?
Well, there are many possible reasons. First of all, the trip is a precious chance to share different experiences on the economy of communion and on civil economy in general. In the hours of the trip, it will be possible to talk to entrepreneurs, teachers, parents and students on the expectations they have about the program and topics of the Expo in an informal way. It is definitely more beautiful and enriching to travel together, to reach the Expo, and, actually, going by bus rather than by car is a choice to respect the environment.

The Lionello Bonfanti Industrial Park "meets" Adriano Olivetti

By Lucia Zorzi

Loppiano - It sometimes happens that a meeting leaves a mark. Yesterday afternoon, the Lionello Bonfanti Industrial Park hosted one of these rare meetings. Economist Luigino Bruni introduced the discussion on "The Idea of Community in Business Behavior", tracing the convergence and divergence between Adriano Olivetti´s thought (this year is the 500th anniversary of his death) and the reality of businesses of communion attested to by the Polo Lionello Bonfanti of Loppiano, home of the Economy of Communion. 

The meeting was proposed by the Vita Eudaimonica Association and by its president, the philosopher Alberto Peretti, scholar and expert of Olivettian thought. It included entrepreneurs, workers of the Polo and the students of Sophia University Institute of Loppiano.

Inaugurazione della struttura sanitaria RISANA

Sabato 24 ottobre 2009,
ore 15.30-19.00
Polo “Lionello Bonfanti”
località Burchio - Incisa in Val d’Arno - FI

La cooperativa RISANA, fondata da 9 soci nel febbraio 2008, in attesa di stabilirsi nei locali del Polo, ha iniziato ad operare il 1 luglio 2008 in una sede provvisoria. Un po' di storia: dal 1998 uno studio dentistico situato ad Incisa Valdarno ha portato professionisti legati alla Cittadella di Loppiano a più diretto contatto con la realtà locale. Nel tempo si è andata consolidando una rete tra specialisti delle più diverse discipline mediche che è sfociata nel progetto del poliambulatorio.

Incisa in Valdarno  (FI)

This year, too, Rimini´s University of Bologna continues the journey in "Riminisian Socio-Economic Reflections", promoted by the Association of the New Generation Study Center in collaboration with the Gambalunga Civic Library of Rimini. The 2010 theme regards the importance held by the local community and territory, culture and innovation, businesses and working relationships, to go through this hot news topic that is still being felt. The theme of vast interest was developed during May and June in various weekly seminars by experts in various disciplines that have gathered to develop their own arguments on the theme through different aspects, like trust and gift, local economies and innovation, award and virtue, and social responsibility.

At the end of this journey, on June 26, there will be an "outing" to the Polo Lionello Bonfante. The idea is to get to know the experience of economic/entrepreneurial innovation and social-territorial cohesion that the Polo represents, among the typical expresssions of the Economy of Communion.

RISANA: bringing reciprocity and communion to healthcare

By Antonella Ferrucci

On October 24, the Poliambulatory was inaugurated at the Lionello Bonfante Industrial park. Can you tell us something about it´s story?

RISANA was born in February, 2008. It currently has twenty associates and it´s adherence to the Economy of Comunion project is one of it´s particular characteristics and founding elements. Attention to those in need, to formation, to development of the business itself and the search for a model of participative management are the cornerstones of the cooperative.

The exhibition market "Come, Choose and Donate" was a success

Thursday, 10 December 2009 13:30

The exhibition market concluded with a great turn-out of visitors to the Polo Lionello Industrial Park

The exhibition market "Come, Choose and Donate" was a success

From December 5-8, the Lionello Bonfante Industrial Park opened it´s doors for the exhibition market, "Come, Choose and Donate". It was a proposal that combined economy with solidarity, involving 40 businesses of Valdarno who donated their products to be sold at the benefit of the victims of the earthquake in Abruzzo.

At the conclusion of the exhibition, we asked Paolo Maroncelli, the delegated administrator of the Lionello Industrial Park, how it went. "We´re very pleased with how things went," said Maroncelli. "Thanks to this initiative, the Industrial Park received many visitors from the surrounding area, and many of these came for the first time. They seemed happy for the chance to finally come and ´nose around´ inside the Polo Lionello."
