A strong, 16-year partnership
Verona, June 11, 2010 - UniCredit is proud once again to support the Arena di Verona and its extraordinary Opera Festival.
For the past16 years, UniCredit has chosen to support this important event, currently in its 88th edition. This promises to be an exceptional season, thanks to the participation of Maestro Franco Zeffirelli and a selection of great performers, who will be sure to provide audiences with a memorable experience.
Since 1994, UniCredit and Arena di Verona have partnered not only on the opera festival, but on international events and other special performances in Verona combining art and music.
UniCredit is honored to support the festival, which offers an opportunity to promote Italian culture and excellence to a wide audience. The bank regards culture as a means to social and economic development, to dialogue, innovation and the sharing of new ideas. This view conforms to UniCredit's mission statement, which defines UniCredit as a leading European bank committed to the development of the communities in which it operates.
UniCredit supports music because of its capacity to unite individuals and bring about positive change in society. Music is a universal language, allowing people to build bridges through self-expression.
UniCredit strongly supports the Fondazione Arena di Verona, an important Italian cultural institution recognized around the world.
