“The Sports Workshop” at the Circolo dei Lettori in Turin
Turin will host a special presentation of The Sports Workshop: Team Work, Research, Technology, Passion and Social Value, a book edited by the Pirelli Foundation and published by Marsilio Arte. The event is scheduled for Friday, 17 January 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the Circolo dei Lettori, with Antonio Calabrò, director of the Pirelli Foundation and Darwin Pastorin, journalist and writer. The meeting will be moderated by Alberto Infelise of the daily newspaper “La Stampa”.
This publication, first released in June 2024 and available in separate Italian and English editions, investigates the world of sport by exploring its worksites, laboratories, factories, and the behind-the-scenes world of racing. It provides thematic insights into the disciplines where Pirelli has played a leading role, showcasing its victories, innovations, and champions throughout its long history. The volume includes contributions from the Texan author Joe R. Lansdale, who penned the unpublished story “Batman’s Punch is a Guide to Life”, and the artist Lorenzo Mattotti, who created six original illustrations as well as the cover of the book. Other contributors include Calabrò, Christillin, and Pastorin, who during the evening will discuss the project, reflecting on the rights and rules of the game, reports by the great masters of journalism, and insights into the century-and-a-half-long bond between the Long P and sport.
