The former is donated to us by FAI President Giulia Maria Mozzoni Crespi, and the latter by Emanuela di Castelbarco Pindemonte Rezzonico. The completion of the first major restoration project The first large-scale restoration project we deal with takes a total of eight years to complete, and sees us give the Monastero di Torba – which had been completely submerged by thick vegetation, its frescoed walls victims of chronic neglect – a whole new lease of life. 1975 1977 1985 1976 1980 1988 The first edition of the FAI Newsletter “Finally in your hands” is how Renato Bazzoni puts it in the first edition of the FAI Newsletter – the forum for information and dialogue with the members; Bazzoni calls the Newsletter the “prophet” of the recently established Trust. 8 31 exhibitors and 7,000 visitors: these are the figures for the first staging of the most important event held in the properties we are responsible for. Two decades later, in 2011, we will go on to celebrate 20 years of the event, with more than 140 exhibitors and 18,500 visitors in attendancevisitatori in 3 giorni. The Castello di Masino – a delightful fortification dating back to the fifteenth century – is the first property that we purchase. Owned by the Valperga family, it is in a state of dereliction that necessitates an urgent intervention in order to restore it and make the most of what it has to offer. Annual Report 2011 The first major SMS campaign Our first national SMS campaign – called “La Terra di Francesco” (The Land of St Francis) – aims to raise funds for the restoration of a highly symbolic site: the Bosco di San Francesco in Assisi. The Italian public respond with great generosity, offering a total of €340,000. 1992 1999 2009 1993 2003 2010 The purchase of our first property Our first natural property The first donation made to FAI is an area of 1,000m² located on the coast of Cala Junco, at the western edge of the island of Panarea. Piero di Blasi decides to donate it to us to protect it from real estate speculation. First staging of the “Tre Giorni per il Giardino” (Three Days for the Garden event) The first “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” survey) The first “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day) Five sites in the city of Milan. A whole host of monuments are opened up for the first staging of what remains to this day the Trust’s most high-profile event. In 2011, we will reach a total of 660 properties throughout Italy, with more than 500,000 visitors. Annual Report 2011 A total of 24,200 votes are cast in the first “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” national survey), which asks for input from the general public on which buildings and landscapes they would most like to see saved. During the fifth survey – in 2010 – in excess of 464,000 votes will be cast. © Mollica & Racheli Our first “bricks and mortar” properties The Giardino della Kolymbetra, a real archaeological and agricultural jewel located in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, is the first property that is leased to us on a concessionary basis (free for 25 years, by Sicily Region) in order for it to be restored after decades of neglect. © Andrea Casà Based on an idea by Elena Croce, daughter of philosopher Benedetto Croce, on 28 April 1975 Giulia Maria Mozzoni Crespi, Renato Bazzoni, Alberto Predieri and Franco Russoli found FAI with the intention of emulating the work done by the National Trust in England. The first handover at the helm After 35 years in which she consistently put great passion, dedication and energy into the FAI project, Giulia Maria Mozzoni Crespi steps down as President, making way for Ilaria Borletti Buitoni and taking on the role of Honorary President. 9 © Giorgio Majno © Giorgio Majno Ilaria Borletti Buitoni President of the FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano THE ROAD TO RECOVERY STARTS WITH THE SAFEGUARDING OF OUR CULTURAL IDENTITY In many ways, 2011 was a turning point for the Trust, albeit against a general backdrop of increasing – and increasingly worrying – uncertainty and a marked reduction in the support being given to organisations both public and private alike. Alongside the opening of three very important properties – the Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco in Venice, the Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia (in the province of Padua), and the Bosco di San Francesco in Assisi – which we gave back to the country after prolonged and eagerly awaited restoration projects that demanded substantial funds and an enormous organisational effort, we also completed an in-depth administrative overhaul geared towards boosting the effectiveness of our cost-control mechanisms, with a particular focus on those overheads relating to our restoration projects. In 2011, we made substantial investments in human resources and in promoting the work of the Trust. Our promotional efforts highlighted not only our undoubted capacity to enhance and efficiently manage the properties that are entrusted to us but also our values, which are particularly prescient at a time such as this, when Italy is in a state of confusion: a highprofile marketing campaign accompanied our operations throughout the year, helping to raise awareness right across Italy about the nature of our work. Cultural identity, pride, an understanding of the importance of Italy’s historical, artistic and natural heritage, and a commitment to conserve the landscape for a sustainable future – these are all expressions of a “sensitivity” that FAI must be able to transmit to an ever-increasing number of people. The result of this investment approach has been both tangible and encouraging. The increase in membership and the exceptionally large number of participants in the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day) are indicative that we are making progress along our chosen path. Albeit in an awareness that difficult times no doubt lie ahead for us, we can today look towards the future, safe in the knowledge that we will always be able to give voice to those who believe that the safeguarding of Italy’s cultural identity is one of the roads we must take in order to get back on the move in the wake of the global crisis, also with a view to promoting the development of tourism, particularly in those regions rich in art and beauty but lacking an industrial base. At a time in which civil society is being called upon with increasing frequency to contribute to the debate on the future of the country, FAI will play its part with passion and enthusiasm, thanks to the generous support of our donors and friends, which is now more fundamental than ever before. FAI - Abbazia di San Fruttuoso , Camogli (Genoa) 10 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 11 2011 Overview FAI - Villa dei Vescovi, Luvigliano di Torreglia (Padua) 2011: THREE GREAT STORIES FOR ITALY AS IT REACHES ITS 150TH ANNIVERSARY © ORCH_chemollo Out of the 28 years I’ve spent working for FAI, 2011 was the most frenetic, the most exhausting and, without a doubt, the most “perfect”. The run up to the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification had given us, as it did many others, the impetus to plan out a memorable year with a view to stressing to the country as a whole that FAI was conceived and founded as an organisation with the aim of serving the nation. “Destiny” presented us with the solution on a silver platter, in the sense that – by shortening our timescales and cleverly “slotting together” deadlines and commitments – we would indeed meet our insane-but-thrilling target of opening three new properties before year’s end. What better way to stay true to our Statute and, in the process, to give Italy a wonderful gift? It is, of course, superfluous to state why the project was thrilling; we can, however, explain why it was insane, but only in hindsight, smiling now that the (unforeseeably Herculean) effort we all put in – both in financial terms and in terms of sheer determination – is behind us. FAI - Negozio Olivetti, Venice The Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco in Venice – a shining, impeccable masterpiece by Carlo Scarpa, which was entrusted, with considerable farsightedness, to FAI by insurance group Assicurazioni Generali – was inaugurated amid the jubilation of a number of not very authentic Venetians and the admiring curiosity of that international world that has rightly elected Scarpa one of the giants of the 20th century, but the projects at the Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano near Padua and the Bosco di San Francesco in Assisi (donated to FAI by the Intesa Sanpaolo banking group) were still very far from completion. At the Villa dei Vescovi, with its frescoes by Sustris, its loggias by Falconetto and its ashlar by Giulio Romano, we had only recently started work again following the shock of coming across a necropolis under the ground floor, while in Assisi we were still counting the almost 400 truck, car and tractor tyres that emerged from the brambles infesting the 60 hectares of woods and olive groves, while Michelangelo Pistoletto used his plough to trace out the triple circle of his Terzo Paradiso (“Third Paradise”), where 121 olive trees were to give pilgrims food for thought on their relationship with Creation. From Venice to the Euganean Hills, to Assisi! A year of radically divergent construction sites; from the silken stuccoes of Carlo Scarpa, through the hundreds of metres of dry-stone walls to be put back up in order to support the terraced olive groves in Assisi, to the fragile banisters sculpted from Nanto stone that, like a ribbon, make their way around the terraces and loggias of the Villa dei Vescovi outside Padua. These are three stories that differ in terms of their eras, protagonists, materials, climates, purposes, colours, messages and cultures; three great Italian Stories that from St Francis, via the Renaissance, bring us right into the 20th century. These are three stories that FAI – thanks to those who believe in its mission, its commitment and the seriousness of its approach – has been able to donate to Italy so that the country can take pride in them on what is such an important anniversary. © A. Angelucci © Giorgio Majno Marco Magnifico, Executive Vice President of FAI FAI - Bosco di San Francesco, Assisi (Perugia) 12 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 13 Management Overview THE FIRST STEPS IN A “NEW DIRECTION” FOR FAI’S ORGANISATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE 2011 was a complex year due to the specific political and economic circumstances, marked by a serious institutional crisis and a contraction of the Italian economy. But for FAI, 2011 was first and foremost an opportunity for appropriate celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, with the conclusion of the restoration of three important new properties that, from now on, will be open to the general public, thanks to the three in-depth, intelligent interventions that have returned the assets in question to their former splendour, as befits the entire historical, artistic and natural heritage of Italy. Overall, FAI spent around €9 million on restorations in 2011 – a sizeable figure and an immense commitment for the Trust, which had to work exceptionally hard to raise the necessary funds. We are certainly now reaping the rewards of all our efforts, with the Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco in Venice, the Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia and the Bosco di San Francesco in Assisi now offering three tangible new embodiments of the difference that FAI can make right across Italy. Thanks in part to these new inaugurations, the numbers visiting FAI properties in 2011 reached in excess of 400,000! This represents a major milestone, and it allowed us to bring in more than €2 million from ticket sales alone, constituting a crucial component in the effort to cover the astronomical overheads involved in keeping these extraordinary buildings open and in perfect condition. The 2011 “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day) confirmed the engagement of the Italian public with this event, with record numbers taking part: around 500,000 visitors made their way to the sites selected by FAI, which – thanks to its 7,000+ volunteers – “opened up” to the public a total of 660 places of historical, artistic and natural interest. The great success of the initiative made a significant contribution to the increase in the number of Members and Friends of FAI; so much so that, as of December 2011, the numbers have reached around 90,000 in total, which is an increase of almost 20,000 on the same period last year. 14 Annual Report 2011 2011 was, moreover, the year of the interventions on those sites highlighted as “I Luoghi del Cuore” (Italian Places I Love) in 2010 thanks to the votes cast by around 500,000 Italians; the 11 most popular and most significant sites have since been selected, where operations will soon be carried out that are targeted at preserving their value and at drawing the attention of the public and of institutions towards them. “Ricordati di salvare l’Italia” (Remember to save Italy) is the title of the campaign that, in October 2011, FAI launched throughout Italy with a view to raising funds for the activities that the Trust implements in pursuit of its mission to restore, raise awareness of and safeguard the historical, artistic and natural heritage of all Italians, with the objective of delivering intact this priceless treasure to our children and future generations. In terms of the funds raised, support was definitely not lacking and, by the end of the campaign, more than €700,000 had been amassed. A great many appearances in the media and on the web enabled us to explain in more detail what FAI is all about, what it is attempting to achieve and what it offers to the public. From a financial perspective, we managed to reduce drastically our losses from previous years and, thanks to the tremendous commitment and hard work of the whole FAI infrastructure, we increased our income despite the challenging economic backdrop. We actually succeeded in exceeding the forecasted operating income figure, reaching €14.4 million (+8.1% on 2010), and managed to contain the operating expenses to €15 million (+ 2.3% up on 2010), while implementing a major reorganisation and investment programme in relation to our personnel. In view also of the inventory management results, the management report shows a deficit of €0.4 million, 64.5% down on the previous year. Significant financial donations and small bequests made it possible to improve our cash flow, which was severely put to the test by the €8.7 million that had to be set aside for the restoration of our properties. The developmental operations undertaken over the course of 2011 represent the first important steps in a “new direction” for FAI’s organisational infrastructure. In 2012, we will work intensively on a planning programme that will steer the operations of the Trust towards objectives of breaking even and, at the same time, towards developing our activities, leveraging our passion to enable us to grow and to raise our profile within Italy as a tangible model for effective management. © M.

Angelucci Our most fascinating stories Walking amidst the olive trees of the “Terzo Paradiso” (Third Paradise) by Michelangelo Pistoletto at Bosco di San Francesco, Assisi (Perugia). THREE “PRESENTS” FOR THE FUTURE At times, there are some stories that are more fascinating than others. Perhaps due to the circumstances in which they come into being, or due to the emotions that they can elicit, or simply because they are perfect for that precise moment in time. The three stories collected in this section belong to this latter category. These three stories are about a love for Italy’s artistic and natural heritage, a passion for one’s work, the courage to choose a different road than that followed by everyone else, and the strength to believe in timeless values that are robust enough to resist whatever any economic or civil crisis may throw at them. These are the stories of three “presents” that we wanted to give to everyone in order to send out a clear, indelible message, which is that even – and, indeed, more than ever – in difficult times, the Trust is “by your side” and we are committed to exerting a unified and evergreater influence if all those who believe in the resources of Italian “culture” will continue to support us and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us. They are stories that, more than any other form of discourse, are able to express what it means to work day in, day out, to give our past a future. 16 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 17 The Villa dei Vescovi, Luvigliano di Torreglia (Padua) Tobia Scarpa Pierpaolo Olcese FAI - Villa dei Vescovi, Luvigliano di Torreglia (Padua) © M. Bianchi FAI - Negozio Olivetti, Venice © M.E. Smith © M. Introini The Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco in Venice ITALY REDISCOVERS AN ICON OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Tobia Scarpa is an Italian artist with Having sunk into oblivion for years, the Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco a longstanding, in Venice has regained all of its former lustre. After having taken care of its brilliant career: his restoration, insurance group Assicurazioni Generali – the Showroom’s owners work, which ranges – entrusted its management to FAI, which re-opened it to the public in April from architecture 2011. Visitors from far and wide were, therefore, given the opportunity to get to design to re-acquainted with this masterpiece by architect Carlo Scarpa, which is one of restoration projects, the most important examples of 20th-century architecture in Italy. has often been The Negozio Olivetti is one of just a few works by my father to which I contributed during exhibited in the leading international the design and construction phases. I saw it come to life, I saw the original plans, I saw the importance it gradually acquired, like all of Dad’s works, which always generated a great deal museums and he of interest. When I saw it again after the restoration, the most striking thing for me was that I has made a vital was seeing a “new” building. I remember well when the Showroom had just been completed contribution to the reputation of Italian first time around: it was new, glossy, all the parts were perfectly finished, everything was perfect. Now everything is once again in its rightful place, and thanks to the restoration – which design around the is quite incredible in terms of everything being exactly as it should be – the original colours world. A WONDERFUL TESTAMENT TO GREAT CIVIL ARCHITECTURE 18 Annual Report 2011 have been reinstated. It really is a very important intervention if you look at it critically, it’s all about safeguarding and conserving the objects that we love, which represent us and which we want to remain very much alive. Visiting the Showroom today, we can experience once more the extraordinary way in which my father managed to bring together the past and the present, retaining a real sense of harmony in the process. Violence had no place in his works, and he jettisoned certain aspects of the heritage of modernity in the elegance of the passages – aspects that the ancients, in contrast, always respected. He was used to staging major exhibitions in Venice, each one more extraordinary than the last. But they were temporary works, destined to remain no more than memories. The Showroom, however, was a “solid” work, one that would last through the years and that was, at the same time, very much a oneoff. This is the great value that visitors today can discover by coming to visit it. Annual Report 2011 In June 2011, FAI re-opened the Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano (near Padua) to the public. This delightful villa was built on an embankment of the Euganean Hills and was donated to the Trust by Maria Teresa Olcese Valoti and by her son Pierpaolo Olcese as a gesture of love towards Vittorio Olcese (Maria Teresa’s husband and Pier Paolo’s father). After a prolonged restoration process, another prestigious example of great Italian civil architecture was thus given a new lease of life, allowing visitors to admire once again the dignified geometric enclosure, the frescoes depicting Roman heroes and idealised landscapes set against backdrops of green volcanic hillsides, and the loggias caressed by gentle breezes. The Villa dei Vescovi was purchased by my father, Vittorio Olcese, in response to a proposal by Neri Pozza and the Ente Ville Venete, in order to save a building of tremendous importance in terms of the architectural history of the region, which had by then been abandoned for many years. The Villa, owned by the Curia of Padua, had served variously as a barracks, an asylum and a nursing home; its loggias had been closed over and its frescoes covered up. Vittorio restored it with the idea that, one day, it could become a public property. The donation of the Villa to FAI by my mother, Maria Teresa, and I was nothing more than the follow through of a project that began in the 1960s and was completed with another rebirth, and it is also an homage to two of the great names of Italian culture – friends Vittorio Olcese and Giulia Maria Mozzoni Crespi, FAI’s Honorary President – who shared in a great deal of the recent history of the Villa. The son of Vittorio Olcese, a prominent figure in the Milanese industrial and political worlds, Pierpaolo chose together with his mother Maria Teresa Olcese Valoti to donate the Villa dei Vescovi to FAI in memory of his father, who passed away in 1999, thus turning this fine example of Italian civil architecture into a public property. 19 © A.

Against this backdrop, at the invitation of FAI, artist founders of the Arte Michelangelo Pistoletto decided to create in the clearing of the woodland a new version of his exceptional work of land art, the “Terzo Paradiso” (Third Povera movement Paradise). in the 1960s and a precursor of The sign that symbolises the Third Paradise was first created in 2002 and has been deployed in the participative practices that have various places using an array of different materials. It finds its expression par excellence here, in the clearing of the woodland in Assisi, due to the historical resonance of the thought of Saint become widespread Francis. Francis was, of course, responsible for the message that unites Man and Nature – since the mid-1990s. which flows into the current necessity to experience nature anew. At Assisi, visitors are invited to undertake a ritual trek around the entire work. The symbol of the Terzo Paradiso winds its way along a path flanked by 121 olive trees and traces out three circles that compose the “New Infinity Symbol”. The two opposing circles symbolise the two preceding paradises. The first paradise is that in which human beings were totally integrated with nature; the second is the artificial paradise, developed by human intelligence, which together with the exponential growth of scientific and technological development is generating irreversible processes of degradation across the planet. The risk of a tragic collision between the natural and artificial spheres is now heralded in every way. Only in the integration between nature and artifice can the possibility of avoiding this catastrophe be envisaged. The central ring, then, represents the link between the two preceding paradises and stands for the generative womb of the Third Paradise. The opportunity afforded by FAI for the creation of this work is crucial, and all those who support the Trust become a creative part of the work itself. As such, the work conserves the memory of the woodland while also projecting the past towards the future. 20 Annual Report 2011 Bosco di San Francesco, Assisi (Perugia). The church of Santa Croce. Annual Report 2011 21 © A. Angelucci Our threefold mission THREE POINTS, A SINGLE OBJECTIVE Since 1975, we have been pursuing a single objective: to protect Italy’s heritage of art, nature and landscapes. Every day, in line with the three points of our mission, we work to restore and give back to the public monuments and natural places that are unique to Italy, which are either donated to us or leased to us on a concessionary basis; to educate and raise the awareness of the wider community about the importance of getting to know, respecting and taking care of art and the natural world; and to serve as the spokesperson for the interests and expectations of the populace by supervising and intervening pro-actively across the country. Accordingly, when describing our 2011 activities, we have respected the aforementioned subdivision into the three different areas: “Protecting and Enhancing”, “Educating and Raising Awareness” and “Supervising and Intervening”, with a view to demonstrating how all of our actions are geared towards the concrete realisation of our mission. The final part of this section is dedicated both to the raising of funds, an activity that – thanks to the generosity of individuals, companies and public-sector bodies – makes our work possible, and to the support operations, without which everything would be far more difficult.

Their historical/artistic value and the opportunity they afforded to create synergies gave (in the province of us the impetus to acquire the Velarca (donated by Aldo Norsa and his wife Maria Luisa), Biella). THE PROPERTIES FOR WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE 25 regularly open to the public 13 safeguarded 9 a houseboat anchored on the western shore of Lake Como and designed in 1961 by the legendary Milanese studio BBPR, and the Torre di Ossuccio (bequest by Rita Bernasconi), which is a mediaeval monument immersed in an exceptionally important landscape 400 metres above Lake Como. Together with the nearby Villa del Balbianello, the two assets will go on to form a high-quality tourism circuit. Also of considerable value are the Alpeggi Tirinzoni in the Orobian Alps (donated by Stefano Tirinzoni); these hillsides encompass more than 200 hectares, with 50 hectares of woodland and 80 of pastureland at risk of disappearing due to natural reforestation. The area will be preserved and enhanced forever in a way that respects the agricultural, environmental and pastoral traditions of this part of the world. Other, very different, assets acquired in 2011 included the Art Nouveau Pensilina in Velate, which was built in the early 1900s during the period when Varese was a centre for international tourism and which beautifully encapsulates a moment in Italian history; and the Collezione Enrico at Villa Flecchia in Magnano, in the province of Biella (bequest by Piero Enrico), which is composed of a full sixty-two 19th-century Piedmontese paintings, precious rugs and furniture. © T.

Protecting and enhancing Restoration Restoration To celebrate together with the Italians the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, we have restored and given back to the wider community three wonderful properties: the Negozio Olivetti in Venice, the Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia (Padua) and the Bosco di Above: Restoration work at the Negozio Olivetti, Venice 26 THREE PRECIOUS GIFTS GIVEN BACK TO ITALY In the year that saw the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, a significant part of our restoration efforts were focused on those operations geared towards the three important openings of the year: the Negozio Olivetti in Venice, the Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia (Padua) and the Bosco di San Francesco in Assisi. These were three completely different projects that allowed us to give back to the community at large three unique embodiments of Italian history and of the Italian national identity. These were three “gifts” that we wanted to donate to the Italian people in order to make a tangible contribution to the recovery of a country that finds itself in the middle of an economic and civil crisis. THE VILLA DEI VESCOVI, A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF GRAND CIVIL ARCHITECTURE The second “gift” was the opening of the Villa dei Vescovi, a significant exemplar of grand Italian civil architecture, immersed in the beautiful scenery of the Euganean Hills. In this instance, the challenge we faced was to reinstate the Villa’s role as the hub for an intellectual circle that it had originally acquired from the mid-16th-century onwards, making the most of that relationship of perfect harmony between manmade architecture and nature that has always been its exclusive preserve. Having begun in 2007, the long, laborious restoration process was completed in June 2011, just prior to the Villa being opened up to the public. In the months leading up to the inauguration, the works focused mainly on overhauling the landscaped areas and on the interior design elements, including the creation of a special technical lighting solution geared towards making the visit all the more involving. The courtyard space in front of the Villa was restored in such a way as to retain the original Renaissance design, whereas the outbuilding became the new home for the shop and the ticket office. To tell the story of the property in the most engaging way possible, taking in its specific artistic and architectural features and illustrating the main restoration operations carried out, we decided to use part of the terrace floor of the Villa for the information rooms, whereas the piano nobile – its Venetian-style flooring now beautifully restored – plays host to the historical furnishings. Last of all, with a view to transforming the Villa dei Vescovi into a frame of reference for high-quality tourism throughout the area, we used the attic floor to create two large guest apartments that are ready to provide a warm welcome to visitors from around the world.

Protecting and enhancing ITALY REDISCOVERS A 20TH-CENTURY ICON The restoration of the Negozio Olivetti – the first property to be inaugurated during the year – was carried out by the Assicurazioni Generali insurance group, which owns the Procuratie Vecchie building in Piazza San Marco in Venice. Having completed the restoration work over the course of a year, Assicurazioni Generali entrusted us with the running of this masterpiece created by architect Carlo Scarpa in 1957-58, leading up to the re-opening of the Showroom on April 20, 2011. Our task was to fit out the interiors. It was a very difficult challenge in that the objective was to give a bona fide icon of 20th-century Italian architecture its original beauty back, respecting the original vision of the Venetian artist. Assisted by the architect’s son, Tobia Scarpa, we sited within the Showroom not only the original furnishings but also a collection of vintage Olivetti typewriters; moreover, we carved out the space for a bookshop/ticket desk and a staff office. A custom marketing campaign was created for the opening, with multimedia workstations being put in place to provide historical information on the architecture of the Showroom and on the entire oeuvre of Carlo Scarpa.

Angelucci On 11 November 2011, after more than a year of work, the Bosco di San Francesco was officially opened to the public . The objective of the restoration and re-landscaping project was to offer visitors the possibility of undertaking a real interior journey to discover the message of perfect harmony between Man and Nature that Saint Francis sent out to the world, starting from right here. In the first phase, we reinstated and made safe the paths and dealt with the overhaul of the landscape in the areas at the edges of the paths, followed by the bedding out of 200 new olive trees, high-trunked trees and around a thousand shrubs. The most challenging aspect, however, concerned the Santa Croce Complex, a microcosm – inhabited in the late 13th/early 14th century by Benedictine monks – that encompasses a church, a mill, the remains of a hospice and of a monastery, and further away, an ancient tower-cum-manufactory. Thanks to a complicated array of operations, which involved a plethora of different professionals, we managed to complete a conservative restoration of the buildings – an operation that has seen them become functional once again. The rooms of the presbytery have been refurbished as a reception and information point for visitors, complete with a bookshop and an educational exhibition, whereas the Mill has been renovated to provide catering facilities for visitors to the Bosco di San Francesco. In the Hospice area, figs, walnuts and other fruit trees have been used to redesign the internal terraces to evoke the lost garden of the Benedictine monks, whereas the ancient Annamaria Tower has had its masonry consolidated and has been fitted with a new iron staircase to allow access to the roof, in order to afford visitors a panoramic view over the clearing of the Terzo Paradiso (Third Paradise). © A.

Protecting and enhancing Restoration Restoration To offer visitors an increasingly comfortable and engaging experience, we carried out restoration operations at numerous properties: from the resurfacing of the access route to the Villa del Balbianello to the new visitor routes at Villa Della Porta Bozzolo and the Castello di Masino. ENHANCING THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE Every single aspect of our endeavours to safeguard and make the most of the wonderful embodiments of Italy’s artistic heritage, nature and landscape is geared towards the objective of re-opening the properties to the public so that they can be used and enjoyed by everyone, forever. As such, for us it is fundamental to offer a visitor experience that is increasingly comfortable, engaging and exciting. For this reason, in 2011 as in previous years we put a great deal of effort into the restoration works intended to make a visit to a number of our properties all the richer and more unique. At the Villa del Balbianello, in July we completed the resurfacing of the access road, which – once it has taken on a more natural appearance with the passage of time – will be perfectly integrated into the colours of the surrounding environment. The forestry works on the Dosso di Lavedo lasted until August 2012. These wide-ranging operations encompassed not only the regeneration of the woodland but also the hydrogeological and infrastructural aspects, as well as the upgrading of site accessibility, along with the creation of picnic areas. At Villa Della Porta Bozzolo, we worked hard to improve the visitor experience by making major alterations to the visitor route: to allow access to the recently restored areas of the Library and the Study, while preserving the tempera decoration of the narrow corridor opposite, we renovated a small room that had previously been off-limits to the public and we changed the adjacent room into a service space for use by visitors. In addition, to make the 17,000m² of woodland surrounding the Villa more accessible, we reconditioned the avenue of cypresses, which rises up to the top of the hill that overlooks the property, and we also re-ordered the promenade of aedicules. Last but not least, we renovated the visitor parking area, increasing and rationalising the available car-parking spaces and installing a system of LED lighting. A new visitor route was also laid out at the Castello di Masino: the restoration of the stucco room (Gabinetto degli stucchi) and the arrangement of the winter dining room (Sala da Pranzo Invernale), originally designed for Princess Cristina Trivulzio Belgiojoso, now enable visitors to discover a new chapter in the history of this extraordinary figure of the movement for the unification and independence of Italy. In the Torrazza, we completed the restoration of the Round Library (Biblioteca Rotonda) and the adjacent Viceroy’s Workshop (Laboratorio Vicerè), which were equipped with a new lighting system.

Protecting and enhancing ALL-ENCOMPASSING PROTECTION Taking responsibility for a property means taking care of every single aspect of it: from the frescoes that embellish the walls of villas and castles to the door and window frames, the boundary walls, the flower beds and the security systems. At the Castello di Masino, we completed the restoration of the decorated walls of the Library (Biblioteca), reclaimed the beautiful original marble floor of the adjacent room and restored the large wardrobe that takes up an entire wall. To allow visitors to admire the decorations that have emerged, the bookcases of the library in the so-called “Red Rooms” (Stanze Rosse) have been repositioned. At Villa Panza, we started work on the conservative restoration of the boundary wall, which - in accordance with the relevant government planning department – has required the setting out of precise methods for the filling in of the gaps and the harmonisation of the contrasting colours of the various types of plaster. In contrast, the conservative restoration and alteration to new uses of the Palazzo e Torre Campatelli is very much based on the deployment of latest-generation technology; the project involved an in-depth study of the buildings’ structures conducted by the Archaeology Laboratory of the University of Siena. Thanks to a very highresolution survey of the facade of the Palazzo, carried out using cutting-edge Zscan technology, it proved possible to reconstruct its architectural evolution and to identify the various construction phases. And at Villa Necchi Campiglio we carried out various upgrades of the fire-prevention systems and installed burglar alarms throughout the complex, as well as creating new flowerbeds in the garden. From the restoration of frescoes and boundary walls to changing the intended use of spaces and landscaping operations – day after day, we deal with every single aspect of the protection of our properties, and our efforts were rewarded in 2011 with the adding of the Castello di Torba to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. GLOBAL RECOGNITION Since June 25, 2011, the Monastero di Torba and the Castelseprio archaeological area have featured on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as part of the group called “The Longobards in Italy. Places of Power (568-774 AD)”. In June 2011, we completed the works to overhaul the section of the path falling within our property that linked the Monastero di Torba to the Castelseprio archaeological park, as well as the conservative restoration of the existing archaeological structures. 23,090 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 Above: San Gimignano (Siena). 31 36 € 67milion over years, we have raised and subsequently invested in restoration projects safeguarded 5,283,000 m² of countryside 482,000 A view of Orobian Alps from the Boschi Tirinzoni – Talamona (Sondrio), bequested by Stefano Tirinzoni 32 Annual Report 2011 protected m² of productive agricultural land Annual Report 2011 33 1.

Totaro © M. Govino 1. Protecting and enhancing A STATE OF THE ART INTERVENTION EXCELLENCE LIES IN THE DETAILS The properties for which we are responsible often house large, important art collections that require constant care and maintenance so that the visitors of both today and tomorrow can admire them in all their splendour. As in previous years, in 2011 we continued with the property protection operations that have thus far seen us restore more than one thousand works of art. The leading light of the year was undoubtedly the artist Arturo Martini, whose work Il dormiente (The Sleeper) – a marble copy of the plaster cast donated to us by Claudia Gian Ferrari – was sited in the garden of Villa Necchi Campiglio, precisely where the Milanese art dealer and collector wanted it to be located. Another work by the Trevisan artist, 1921’s Busto di fanciulla (Bust of a Girl), located in the Library and forming part of the Claudia Gian Ferrari Collection, was cleaned up to make it all the more attractive. Equally important was the prolonged restoration of the cycle of frescoes by the Flemish artist Lambert Sustris that embellish the Villa dei Vescovi. Thanks to the opening of the Villa, visitors can once again admire the painted landscapes and faux arcades that, together with the delightful seascapes and rural scenes in the distance, merge into the views of the surrounding (real) countryside. To make it possible for an ever-higher number of people to savour the works of art conserved within the properties, we do not stop at simply restoring them – rather, we allow them to be shown within a limited number of important exhibitions staged in Italy and overseas. In 2011, this practice of ours became a high-profile part of the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification: Canaletto’s painting The Entrance to the Grand Canal with Santa Maria della Salute, which belongs to the Alighiero and Emilietta de’ Micheli Collection at Villa Necchi Campiglio, was displayed within the touring exhibition “La bella Italia. Arte e identità delle città capitali” (Beautiful Italy: Art and Identity in the Capital Cities), held at the Palace of Venaria in Turin and Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The Portrait of Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso by Henri Lehmann and Vincent Vidal’s work with the same title, which are usually on display at the Castello di Masino, were loaned out for the major exhibition entitled “I giovani ribelli del ’48. Memorie del risorgimento lombardo” (The Young Rebels of ‘48. Memories of the Lombard Risorgimento) at the Palazzo Reale in Milan. Lastly, the display case containing the red shirt of Garibaldi supporter Camillo Bozzolo conserved in Casalzuigno town hall was, as a one-off, displayed at Villa Della Porta Bozzolo until the end of 2011. Every day, the managers of the twenty-five properties open to the public, together with their staff, work hard to take care of even the smallest details with a view to ensuring that the visitor experience is always highly enjoyable and engaging. Opening the hundreds of windows in a villa or a castle, acting promptly to fix a creaking shutter or to repair a tiny leak that risks damaging a fresco: the care that these wonderful but delicate properties require is truly infinite. All of our work, which is carried out with dedication, passion and a sense of responsibility, is informed by a commitment to excellence that guarantees constant monitoring against neglect and decay. As in previous years, again in 2011 we sub-divided the budget intended for the maintenance of the properties into various cost items that set aside, on the basis of the specific requirements of the buildings and gardens, funds for the (preventative, scheduled and enhancement-focused) maintenance operations, as well as funds with which to carry out emergency repairs. This approach has allowed us both to schedule our operations more effectively, with a resultant optimisation of costs, and to achieve more accurate monitoring of the state of conservation of the properties, as well as better control over the preventative actions being implemented. The negotiation of existing contracts and the creation of a network linking up the properties have together allowed for an economy of scale that has resulted in a reduction of the total maintenance bill. Annual Report 2011 In the Castello di Masino alone, it takes us three hours every day to open, close and check the condition of the 100+ shutters and windows, amounting to a total of 1,095 man-hours per year.

Volpato The ultimate aim of our work is, having restored our properties, to open them up to the public, allowing everyone who is interested to experience all that they have to offer first-hand. For this reason, each of the properties for which we are responsible can be visited every day from spring through to autumn and in certain cases – such as Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan – for almost 365 days a year. This has allowed us to welcome, over the course of the 36 years for which we have been operating, a total of around five million visitors. In 2011, the most popular of our properties with the general public turned out to be the Castello di Masino, which was visited by a total of 67,000 people. Not far behind came the Villa del Balbianello, which – with more than 50,000 visitors – knocked the Parco Villa Gregoriana (with a still very respectable figure of 47,700 visitors) into third place this year. Overall visitor numbers to all of our properties were 3% up on 2010, thanks in part to the increasing attractiveness of the events and initiatives staged there. As a result, revenues at the ticket desks were 13.3% up on the year before, thanks also to the increased demand for services relating to school trips. The gross turnover of the bookshops fell very slightly – by 1%, net of sales made at special events. This decrease, albeit minimal, was most likely a result of the challenging economic backdrop. These figures do not take into account the three new properties that we opened up to the public in 2011: in 9 months, the Negozio Olivetti attracted more than 11,000 visitors (including tourists, residents keen to rediscover this little treasure, and connoisseurs of architecture); the loggias, the magnificent frescoes and the superb grounds that invite you to indulge in the “leisure pursuits” afforded by the Villa dei Vescovi have proved so attractive that in just 6 months they have managed to pull in more than 22,500 visitors, who have been unanimously delighted by the maniacal attention to detail and warm welcome on offer there; last of all, the Bosco di San Francesco, to which entry is free of charge, has been transformed in next-to-no-time into one of the favoured destinations for travellers and pilgrims in search of an extraordinary mystical/spiritual path that allows them to feel at one with nature.

The year began with “B families. for FAI”, the extraordinary fund-raising event held at Villa Necchi Campiglio that offered up Above, from left: Villa Della Porta Bozzolo, Casalzuigno (Varese) Right: signage at the Bosco di San Francesco, Assisi (Perugia) 38 for sale a wealth of clothes that belonged to Bettina Gabetti, a woman of renowned elegance. The event, directed by designer Stéphan Janson, was organised on the initiative of Bettina’s children, who generously donated their mother’s wardrobe. The Milanese villa also provided the setting for the celebration of the final part in the trilogy of “The hand of...” books with a major exhibition of designs for “The Hand of the Graphic Designer”, edited by Pietro Corraini. The exhibition was followed by a fund-raising auction presided over by Sotheby’s, whereas the entire collection of 367 designs was showcased in an exceptionally stylish catalogue created by the timeless Moleskine company, which is on sale around the world. The Trust’s only Milanese property could not fail to pay homage to the great artist Mario Sironi on the 50th anniversary of his death, dedicating to him the exhibition “Sironi: war, victory, drama”, curated by Elena Pontiggia and based around the works in the collection of the noted Milanese lawyer Lodovico Isolabella. Also on display was an anthology of Sironi’s works on the same theme, including some from the Gian Ferrari collection: a way to remember, a year after her death, Claudia Gian Ferrari, the well-known Milanese gallery owner, who donated part of her important 20th-century art collection to be put on display at Villa Necchi. Last of all, the Castello di Masino played host to the twentieth “Tre Giorni per il Giardino” (Three Days for the Garden), the major flower show curated by architect Paolo Pejrone, which – despite the adverse weather conditions – attracted more than 18,000 visitors. Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 39 Major projects Apertura al pubblico “GIORNATA FAI DI PRIMAVERA” A SCUOLA DI VALORI (FAI SPRING DAY) L’educazione e la sensibilizzazione della collettività alla conoscenza, al rispetto e alla cura dell’arte e della natura deve partire necessariamente dalle generazioni più giovani. FACTS AND FIGURES I TAKE PART, THEREFORE I AM…RESPONSIBLE As states Article 2 of our Statute, FAI has the exclusive purpose of educating the public on the defence of the environment and the artistic and monumental heritage. This is an objective that we pursue by organising a series of activities that range from raising the awareness of youngsters to the promotion of culture and art through the involvement of citizens in major local and national events, art courses, cultural trips and concerts. As before, again in 2011 the most important national event was the 19th “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day), held on 24 and 25 March, and this year all the stops were pulled out in order to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification. To mark the occasion, alongside the special opening of 660 properties across every Italian region – which saw the participation of more than 500,000 people and benefited from the support of 7,000 volunteers – we also came up with special routes dedicated to the Risorgimento (the movement for Italian unification and independence); these events, too, were attended by large numbers of participants. In first place, appropriately enough, was Turin, with 11,000 visitors in total, while 4,000 FAI members visited the Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome (the official residence of the Italian President). Of equal importance was the success of the initiative entitled “Art: a bridge between cultures”, which was staged across 36 Italian towns and cities and allowed thousands of visitors from outside Italy to be taken on guided tours in their own languages. 2011 also saw the second staging of the national fund-raising campaign, called “Ricordati di salvare l’Italia” (Remember to save Italy), which enabled us to raise awareness on the importance of protecting and safeguarding Italy’s heritage of art and nature. The “FAI Festa alla Piazza” (FAI Piazza Party) event was staged throughout Italy thanks to the Delegations and to our volunteers, with whom we celebrated Italy’s most beautiful squares. Since the FAI biennial “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” survey) was not staged in 2011, we were able to concentrate our efforts in order to ensure that we could make the most of the nearly 500,000 votes cast, and we selected 11 sites for direct intervention. In addition, the third short-film competition was held in 2011 – called “FAI il tuo film” (Make Your Own FAI Film) and focusing on the “Places I Love”, three short films by talented young directors were commissioned as a result of the competition. The films were shown during the Milan Film Festival (9-18 September). 40 Annual Report 2011 Per questo il nostro Settore Scuola Educazione è costantemente impegnato nella formazione e sensibilizzazione dei docenti e degli studenti di tutte le età a difesa del paesaggio italiano.

Educating and raising awareness Grandi progetti School EDUCATING SCHOOL CHILDREN TO OUR VALUES Educating and raising the awareness of the public on understanding, respecting and taking care of art and nature must necessarily start with younger generations. For this reason, our Schools Education Department is constantly engaged on training and raising the awareness of teachers and pupils of all ages on how to defend the Italian landscape. In 2011, we renewed the three-year memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research and we signed an agreement with the National Headmasters’ Association. To allow children to discover more about history, art, traditions and the lifestyles of the past, we organised school trips to 19 properties and we developed special visitor experiences with entertainers in costume, observation-and-discovery sheets and creative workshops for the three new properties opened in 2011. To increase the flow of school children, we also established start-of-year trips and end-of-year parties. Despite the major crisis in school tourism, we managed to maintain the number of students visiting thanks to the implementation of agreements with tour operators, and we have started once again to hold the volunteer-run summer camps geared towards safeguarding the Caretta Caretta loggerhead sea turtle along the Ionian coast of Calabria. Following the successful conclusion of the 2010-11 national projects, entitled “Fratelli d’Italia” (Brothers and Sisters of Italy) and “Torneo del paesaggio” (Countryside Tournament), in the autumn we launched two new projects that involved around 40,000 school students: “Io Museo, e tu?” (I visit museums, what about you?) and the second “Torneo del paesaggio”, a culture-based contest focusing on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Primary and middle schools in Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Molise and Sardinia got involved in the environmental education project called “Viva la Terra! Fai anche tu: fai la differenza” (Long Live Planet Earth! Do your bit to make the difference). In addition, in partnership with the Italian Ministry of the Environment, we launched an environmental education project aimed at nursery school children, entitled “R come Ricerco, Rifletto, Riduco, Riciclo e…guarda come mi diverto!” (R as in “I Research, I Reflect, I Reduce, I Recycle”...and look how much fun it is!). To all of the 45,000+ school students who are FAI members we sent out the School Membership kit, containing the two most recent issues of “I Quaderni FAI Scuola” (The FAI School Notebooks), which deal with exploring the local area, and the “Art Stories” CDs, which concentrate on the theme of water in art. The www.faiscuola.it site received more than one million hits. SCHOOL-STUDENT MEMBERS OF FAI OVER RECENT YEARS 2007 2008 2009 2010 A total of 49,165 students participated in school visits to 19 properties in all, and 40,000 were involved in the two national projects: “Io Museo, e tu?” (I visit museums, what about you?) and the second “Torneo del paesaggio” (Countryside Tournament). 2011 46,176 45,225 38,600 34,450 24,025 42 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 43 Delegations Apertura al pubblico © E. Volpato Educare e sensibilizzare In 2011, we had a total of 112 Delegations across the 20 regions of Italy. In addition, there were 27 FAI Groups and 31 FAI Youth Groups. 109 Delegations and 7 FAI Groups participated proactively in the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day), assisted by 7,000 volunteers and 13,000 student tour guides. 44 © E. Volpato © S. Camagni 2. Educating and raising awareness OUR VOICE ACROSS THE COUNTRY Our ability to highlight our core values on a nationwide basis also depends very much on having an extensive presence across the country. This is an objective that we are able to pursue thanks to the support of our network of local Delegations, which – as of late 2011 – had reached a full 112 across the 20 Italian regions. The local Delegations are complemented by the 27 FAI Groups – groups of volunteers operating in the corresponding areas of the various Delegations. New groups have sprung up in North-East Milan, South-East Milan in the Milanese hinterland, Alessandria in the Casale Monferrato area, Gaeta in the province of Latina, and Alto Novarese, Monte Regio and Valsesia in the Novara area. Equally important is the work of the 31 FAI Youth Groups to which we entrust the task of spreading the values and mission of FAI amongst young people both locally and regionally, and via the internet and social networks. In 2011, the events that benefited from the direct input of our Delegates included, as always, the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day), which in March saw the participation of 110 Delegations and 7 FAI Groups, ably assisted by 7,000 volunteers and 13,000 students serving as Apprentice Tour Guides (or “Apprendisti Ciceroni” as they are called in Italian). Thanks to the help of our volunteers, we organised the “Festa alla Piazza” (Piazza Party) in 60 Italian towns and cities; this event was staged in support of the “Ricordati di salvare l’Italia” (Remember to save Italy) campaign. The venues for the parties were provided by Italy’s piazzas, the much-used meeting places where the Delegations orchestrated guided tours and special itineraries, initiatives for children, photo exhibitions, tastings, historical re-enactments and performances by dancers and street artists. Alongside the major events, the support of the Delegations is also fundamental for the organisation of conferences that address issues pertinent to us. 2011 was the year of the national conference entitled “Sotto la cenere. Ruolo e storie di un Paese che resiste” (Under the ashes: role and stories of a country that resists), which was held in Naples and during which a number of high-profile speakers from Italy and beyond debated the role of Italy in relation to the development of western culture. The 2011 FAI Golf Cup circuit, organised by the Delegations, was very well received by the public: with 56 competitions and more than 5,000 players, this year as before it involved many of the most prestigious golf clubs throughout Italy. The contributions received during the competitions were set aside for the restoration work on the Bosco di San Francesco in Assisi.

Educating and raising awareness Culture, research and special events Cultural Trips © G. Majno 2. Educating and raising awareness To mark the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, we used images and information panels to highlight the most important episodes of resistance and heroism that involved those associated with the properties for which we are now responsible. FAI – Villa Fogazzaro Roi, Oria Valsolda (Lugano Lake, Como) A FOCUS ON RAISING AWARENESS Teaching and describing the history of Italian art and of the Italian identity is a special way to raise the awareness of the general public about the importance of protecting Italy’s cultural heritage. For this reason, every year we organise art courses targeted at all culture vultures. In 2011, it was the turn of the Milanese cycle entitled “Maestri d’Italia. La nascita di un linguaggio figurativo nazionale” (Italian Masters: the birth of a national figurative language), which looked in detail at the 16th and 17th centuries in order to identify the key figures of Italian art – from Caravaggio to Bernini and Borromini – who left an indelible mark on the entire country. Other history lessons were given in 2011 to accompany the exhibition on Sironi at Villa Necchi Campiglio, focusing on the work of the great Sassari-born maestro and on art and culture in Milan during the Great War. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, we came up with an ad hoc study campaign on those events of the Risorgimento (the movement for the unification and independence of Italy, achieved in 1870) that involved our properties: from Villa del Balbianello to the Abbazia di San Fruttuoso, from Villa Panza to the Castello di Masino, episodes of resistance and heroism were investigated and highlighted within the properties using appropriate illustrative panels. To mark the centenary of the death of Antonio Fogazzaro ¬– under the supervision of Francesco Spera, a lecturer in Italian Literature at the University of Milan – we dedicated an entire day to the great writer, with the presentation of a new edition of the book “Vita di Antonio Fogazzaro”, written by his devoted friend and biographer, Tommaso Gallarati Scotti. In terms of publications, we issued guides on the Negozio Olivetti and on the Villa dei Vescovi, as well as the black-and-white book on the Bosco di San Francesco, and the complete guide to the Castello di Masino. Last but by no means least, 2011 included two very significant musical events: the solo piano concert by Claudio Baglioni at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna, and the concert held at La Scala in Milan by the Münchner Philharmoniker conducted by Christoph Eschenbach, featuring violinist Vadim Repin. A COMMITMENT TO HIGH-QUALITY TOURISM The commitment towards increasing the public’s understanding and love of beauty also involves the promotion of high-quality tourism – the sort that makes it possible to discover the uniqueness of Italy and its extraordinary, world-class artistic and natural heritage. Accordingly, every year we offer our members a rich calendar of cultural trips both in Italy and further afield, characterised by all-new routes, specifically designed itineraries and exclusive visits to places that are difficult to access or are normally closed to the public. The trips are always made in the company of highly engaging expert guides. In 2011, we had to face the challenge of the so-called “Arab Spring”; the turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East forced us to review numerous trips that we had already scheduled. Nevertheless, we did not reduce the number of trips that we organised – 27 in total. The trips to at-risk destinations were substituted by new destinations such as Uzbekistan, Athens, Vienna and London, and with return trips to other destinations such as Israel. In the year of the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, it was highly appropriate that the voyages of discovery within the Bel Paese itself were so well-received: these “domestic” trips included the itinerary dedicated to modern-day Rome, the trip to central-southern Sardinia, the visit to the Calabria region, the food-and-wine trail in the Langhe area, the visit to Venice and the end-of-year trip to Sicily. 2011 was also the year of the first “FAI & GO” trip, with a target audience of the under 40s; the destination for this New Year voyage was northern India, from, Rajasthan to Varanasi. The response was also very enthusiastic to the eleven short trips associated with musical events, from Nabucco conducted by Riccardo Muti at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome, the Beethoven festival in Cologne and the New Year trip to Berlin and Dresden; also very popular were the trips reserved for the “I 200 del FAI” such as the visit to Basle to admire some of the extraordinary private collections of contemporary art to be found there, and the trip to Umbria to appreciate some of the most extraordinary Renaissance pictorial cycles and a number of gardens during the rose-blossoming season. Last of all, another very popular trip was the one that the “I 200 del FAI” made to London to visit the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery. 2007 27 cultural trips were organised during the course of the year. The “FAI & GO” trips were also inaugurated in 2011 – aimed at the under 40s, the destination for the first trip was northern India. 2008 2009 2010 2011 30 TRIPS 26 27 26 24 628 579 572 TRAVELERS 540 479 Tullio Pericoli, Untitled, 1992, watercolour and Indian ink on paper, 38x57 cm (detail) 46 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 47 3. Supervising and intervening 3. Supervising and intervening “SOS Paesaggio” “I Luoghi del Cuore” and “Puntiamo i Riflettori” THE BEATING HEART OF ITALY, REALISING WHAT IT STANDS TO LOSE 2011 was an “off” year for the biennial survey, but we were nevertheless highly involved in monitoring more than 40 of the places that received the most votes in 2010, selected on the basis of their historical/artistic/natural value and of their importance for their respective local areas and for the country as a whole. In the end, with the help of celebrated art historian Carlo Bertelli, we chose eleven places on which to intervene directly by making a “Places I Love” contribution. In July, thanks to the survey, we inaugurated the first restoration of a property voted for in 2010: the Piè di Marmo in Roma, the marble foot sporting a crepida (a typical Greek sandal), so beloved of the citizens of the capital. Situated in Via Santo Stefano del Cacco, in the heart of Rome’s historical centre, this monument received more votes than any other in the Lazio region in 2010 during the fifth survey. Every month, we evaluate forty recommendations and requests for help that come from the public, local associations, administrators and public bodies concerning cultural assets that are being neglected or are at risk of being transformed in ways that will have a major environmental impact. 48 GUARDIANS OF THE LAND As the third part of our mission statement puts it, every day FAI supervises and intervenes pro-actively across the country to defend Italy’s landscape and cultural assets, serving as the spokesperson for the interests and expectations of civil society. FAI performs the role of a sort of ever-present “guardian” of Italy’s natural heritage – a role that sees us take tangible action whenever necessary, whether directly or in the guise of an Environmental Protection Agency officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of the Environment. It is a laborious job that is managed by our Environment and Landscape Department in close partnership with all of the Trust’s other departments and with the active contribution of our local network, very much in synergy with the “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” national survey) and with the “Puntiamo I Riflettori” (“Casting the Spotlights” project) being run by the FAI Delegations. In 2011, the “SOS Paesaggio” (SOS Countryside Emergency) section first appeared on the Fondoambiente.it website; in this section you can find out in real time about FAI’s rock-solid commitment to defending the Italian landscape. During 2011, 84 cases were published complete with technical profiles and information sheets, enclosed with all of the applications made by FAI, initiatives implemented by other associations/committees, links to informative material and photographic documentation. Out of the cases published, around 20% were positively “resolved”. Also in the course of 2011 we compiled, with the WWF, the dossier entitled “Terra rubata. Viaggio nell’Italia che scompare. Le analisi e le proposte di FAI e WWF sul consumo di suolo” (Stolen land – a journey through disappearing Italy. The analyses and proposals of FAI and the WWF on soil consumption) . Once we submitted the dossier, we were asked to attend a hearing by the Italian Senate’s Environmental Commission. In terms of awareness-raising projects, in 2011 we came up with “Via Lattea” (Milky Way), an event designed to promote agriculture for the home market; “Il Paesaggio con gusto” (The Countryside with Taste), geared towards educating the public on the importance of sustainability; and the conference entitled “Terre del Parco del Ticino. Un nuovo modello di sviluppo territoriale” (Parco del Ticino. A new model of territorial development). In relation to legislative activities, in 2011 we proposed amendments to 12 pieces of legislation on both regional and national scales, and we submitted appeals to the TAR (regional administrative court of law) on various cases including those known as Mediapolis, Carceri Trento, Trivellazioni in Adriatico, Discariche e Commissariamento rifiuti Regione Lazio and Provvedimento Area C. Annual Report 2011 THE INCREASING NUMBER OF VOTES CAST IN THE “I LUOGHI DEL CUORE” (“ITALIAN PLACES I LOVE” SURVEY) 2003 24,200 2004 92,468 2006 120,960 2008 115,138 2010 464,649 In 2011 we selected 11 sites on which to intervene directly with a contribution from the “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” survey), and our Delegations “Puntiamo i Riflettori” (Casting the Spotlights) on 44 local properties. FOCUSING ATTENTION ON LOCAL JEWELS Created in 2010, the “Puntiamo i Riflettori” (Casting the Spotlights) project has the objective of focusing attention and energy on those local assets that have special historical, cultural or emotional importance for the general public. To this end, each of our Delegations concentrates on selecting a local property that is representative of the collective identity and that has been abandoned or has become a victim of neglect but that deserves to have its original dignity restored. As such, the Delegations endeavour to raise the funds required to restore the property and to give it back to the wider community. In 2011, the project extended its reach considerably to cover a total of 44 local properties; perhaps even more importantly, it generated a great deal of enthusiasm on the part of our Delegates, who understood the potential of this initiative to meet the expectations of those in their local area. The total number of projects being implemented has increased at a tremendous pace, and we have continued to work on the already active projects, in certain cases in synergy with the “Places I Love” survey. Thanks also to the input of the Delegations, at the end of the year we were able to announce numerous new interventions, including seven on properties shared by the two projects. Annual Report 2011 49 © F.Pagani Our mission is a major team effort FROM PRINCIPLES TO REALITY For 37 years, our commitment towards protecting and enhancing Italy’s heritage of art and nature has been being translated into reality thanks not only to our passion but also, above all, to the generosity of concerned individuals and responsible companies. Together with a plethora of virtuous foundations and agencies, they stand side-by-side with us as members of a strong team that has but one overarching objective: to preserve the Italy that we would all like to see. Indeed, it is thanks to ongoing, highly transparent fund-raising operations that we are in a position to ensure the continuity and tangibility of our projects – projects that could not carry on were it not for the support provided by our marketing and communications operations. This section deals with all of those support activities that make it possible for us to pursue our mission, day in, day out. 50 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 51 Raising and managing funds Raising and managing funds The support of companies, public-sector bodies and banking foundations The support of companies, public-sector bodies and banking foundations After years on the slide due to the challenging economic circumstances, 2011 saw a marked increase in the number of companies signing up for the Corporate Golden Donor programme, as well as the establishment of numerous partnerships with some of Italy’s leading businesses. In 2011, our recapitalisation fund increased by €748,000 thanks to the “I 200 del FAI” group, which – in addition to signing up new members ¬– ensured that its existing members continued to contribute annually. Numerous members of the “I 200 del FAI” also helped to fund various restoration projects on our properties, and to stage musical events in Italy’s most prestigious concert halls. Also greatly appreciated were the benefits deriving from our partnerships with corporate social responsibility programmes. Specifically, the corporate volunteer projects held in the properties were met with wide-ranging approval and high levels of participation; these projects saw the companies’ employees making a very valid first-hand contribution to the task of protecting and enhancing the country’s heritage. Since 1975, we have been engaged every single day on protecting and enhancing Italy’s artistic and natural heritage. It is a task that does not allow for breaks, and one that we could not even attempt to perform without the valuable support of numerous far-sighted companies, sensitive public bodies and banking foundations with a sense of responsibility. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: A VERY WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOUR From day one, we have been working in partnership with leading companies based in Italy and overseas, which – as part of their own corporate marketing and communications strategies – have undertaken long-term corporate social responsibility projects and targeted promotional campaigns, leveraging the myriad benefits offered by the Trust in terms of image and positioning. After years of downturn or stasis due to the challenging economic backdrop, 2011 saw a marked increase in the number of companies signing up for the Corporate Golden Donor programme, and many existing member companies deciding to renew their memberships. The Trust also worked hard to develop new partnerships with some of the most highprofile Italian businesses in the context of projects for the sponsorship of our major national campaigns – first and foremost, the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day). The fund-raising campaign named “Ricordati di salvare l’Italia” (Remember to save Italy) has now become a fixture in the calendar. In 2011, it was staged for the third time. Leading names in the world of large-scale distribution, specialist retailers and hotel chains were by our side in 2011, raising the awareness of their customers and offering them various ways to participate in the campaign (purchasing of products, offering the FAI Donor Card and the pre-paid credit card). With the help of these companies, we managed in 2011 to increase the level of donations we received with respect to previous years. Equally important were the sponsorships we received for specific projects, which in 2011 were concerned in the main with: property restorations, events staged in the properties themselves, schools projects, the FAI Golf Cup and corporate events at Christmas. PROJECTS THAT CAPTURE THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC Despite the cuts made by the Italian government to all agencies across the board in order to comply with the Stability and Growth Pact, which inevitably had negative repercussions for the publicly funded culture sector, in 2011 we still managed to implement several projects with the financial support of many of the local government bodies with which we have been working for quite some time. The projects encompassed everything from largescale exhibitions to teaching activities and environmental education initiatives. In particular, the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day) was once again the cultural event that generated the highest levels of consent and support.In terms of the public-sector contributions received by the Trust in 2011, a real difference was able to be made as a result of State funding, which assumed various forms: the funding provided by the Italian Ministry of Culture to support FAI’s institutional operations; the special contribution made by the Italian Prime Minister for the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification; and the concession on the so-called 8-per-1000 scheme directly managed by the State, granted to the Castello di Avio for extraordinary restoration and structural consolidation works. Thanks to regional, national and European public-sector funding, we inaugurated and/or concluded a number of important restoration and conservation projects at the properties for which we are responsible. Last but not least, the support from, and partnerships with, banking foundations and corporate foundations proved to be crucial in 2011. In the main, these foundations supported – through targeted funding – the operations to restore and enhance the properties. In total, we received €2,212,000.

This support was bolstered by the funding received from the Italian Ministry of Culture and from the Italian Prime Minister for the celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification. Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 53 Raising and managing funds Raising and managing funds The support of individuals The support of individuals Taking account of memberships, one-off gifts and targeted contributions, we raised more than €4,800,000 – 7.2% up on 2010. In total, we had 39,680 new donors, including 30,904 new Members and 8,776 new Friends. CRUCIAL HELP FROM DONORS AND FRIENDS APPEALS, ADOPTIONS AND WEB CAMPAIGNS In 2011, the international economic crisis had an even more significant impact in Italy than it had done in 2010, with a further reduction in GDP, stagnation in consumption and an increase in unemployment. Despite this, the Italian people clearly demonstrated their belief in our vision, and rewarded us accordingly with their support both in terms of donations and in terms of participation in our activities. Taking account of memberships, one-off gifts and targeted contributions, we received a total of more than €4,800,000 from individuals – 7.2% up on 2010. In total, we had 39,680 new donors, including 30,904 new Members and 8,776 new Friends, who swelled the ranks of our existing donors, thereby allowing us to reach an overall total for the year of 89,636 people. Amongst the most positive figures, there were the 8,000 donors who decided to support the Trust by making an additional contribution over and above their membership fee, and the 70% renewal rate. All of the members were able to take advantage of cultural benefits reserved exclusively for them, including 450 concessions at museums, theatres, bookshops, historic houses and parks throughout Italy, with discounts of up to 50%. The most important fund-raising event of the year was the campaign called “Ricordati di salvare l’Italia” (Remember to save Italy), which was staged during the month of October and was geared towards defending Italy’s landscape. Around 150,000 Italians donated by SMS or landline call to support the campaign, enabling us to raise €419,219. This figure was bolstered by the income generated thanks to the related marketing and fund-raising activities, making an overall total of €690,569. After various vicissitudes, in 2011 we finally received the funds relating to the so-called 5x1000 campaign from 2009: €599,103 resulting from 9,701 preferences expressed by citizens; these funds were set aside to support our institutional activities. Alongside the high-profile campaigns, our fund-raising operations also involve the use of various channels, ranging from specific appeals on individual projects to adoptions, web campaigns and memorial bequests. In terms of specific appeals, in 2011 we launched two appeals to support the restoration of the landscape of the Bosco di San Francesco and the artistic restoration of the Villa dei Vescovi through direct mailing and dedicated messages in the FAI Newsletter, which together allowed us to raise a total of €160,686. The campaigns for the adoption of properties, trees, benches, rooms and restoration projects continued apace, allowing us to raise €867,000. The most frequent adoption requests concerned restoration projects, with a 45% increase on 2010. Online fund-raising operations proved increasingly effective, allowing us to generate over the course of the year a total of €286,306. This figure includes both funds raised from subscriptions and those generated by appeals or special projects.

ACTIVE FAI MEMBERS AND DONORS OVER RECENT YEARS* 2010 2011 89,636 The campaigns to adopt properties, trees, benches, rooms and restoration projects allowed us to raise €867,000 – an increase of 45% on 2010 – and we received a total of €1,595,400 in financial bequests and memorial donations. BEQUESTS AND MEMORIAL DONATIONS An extremely generous decision, within everyone’s reach. By leaving even a small part of their inheritance to FAI, anyone can contribute towards recovering, protecting and making accessible the jewels large and small of Italy’s artistic and natural heritage. On an ever-increasing basis, not only Members but also all those who simply share our mission are choosing to make bequests in their wills and memorial donations to support our work. There were a great many examples during 2011. Some of the most noteworthy bequests included those by Rita Bernasconi, who wanted to bring the Torre di Ossuccio under the FAI umbrella so that it could be opened up to the public; by Stefano Tirinzoni, who donated a tract of land encompassing 200 hectares of woodland, pastureland and three summits in the Orobian Alps of the Valtellina; and by Luciana Marzia Corcos, who left us her apartment in Rome. We received a total of €1,595,400 in bequests and memorial donations. The most important of these was the donation of Villa Flecchia in Magnano (Biella) by architect Piero Enrico of Turin, who also gave us an important collection of 62 nineteenth-century Piedmontese paintings, precious rugs, furniture and an extremely generous endowment. And then, there were numerous financial legacies, such as those left by Luisa Pacchioni Viterbi for the Bosco di San Francesco, by Beniamino Belluz for the Castello di Masino, by Anna Zuffa Cassoli for Villa Necchi Campiglio and by Anna Pistolesi for the Parco Villa Gregoriana. 73,975 *Only 2010 and 2011 were taken into consideration because in previous years different accounting criteria were used and, as a result, the figures are not comparable. 54 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 55 I “200 del FAI” Honorary President Gioia Marchi Falck President Antonio Puri Purini Vice President (Operations) and Manager of the “I 200 del FAI” project Giovanna Loredan Bonetti The “I 200 del FAI”, a group composed of both individuals and companies, constitutes one of the cornerstones of FAI. Since 1987, they have been helping to increase FAI’s recapitalisation fund and have also funded important restorations of the Trust’s properties and musical events. Their moral and financial support of FAI’s mission is crucial and we are very grateful to them. A special vote of thanks goes to all those who in 2011 made a contribution to FAI in order to increase the Trust’s recapitalisation fund. 56 Accenture Agnelli Marella Agrati Luigi Alberti De Mazzeri Stefano Albertini Isidoro Alfa Wassermann Alleanza Toro Allianz Aloisi Ladislao Ambasz Emilio Araldi Guinetti Giuseppina Archetti Conte Maria Giuseppina Artsana Assicurazioni Generali Astaldi Banca Carige Banca CR Firenze Banca d’Italia Banca Imi Banca Mediolanum Banca Passadore Banca Popolare di Verona Banca Popolare di Vicenza Baratta Paolo Basf Italia Bedeschi Guglielmo Belloni Massimo Benetton Teresa Bernasconi Silvio Bianchi Giuliano BMW Italia BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas Boccanelli Renata Böhm Sandra Bollati di Saint Pierre Romilda Borghesi Arnaldo Borletti Buitoni Ilaria Boroli Chiara Borra Campisi Lucia Borsa Italiana Borsetti Zegna Gianna Bosio Giaele BPM Banca Popolare di Milano Bracco De Silva Diana Brenninkmeijer Sigrid Brenta Andrea Bresi BSI SA Buccellati Gianmaria Bulgari Paolo BVM Canepa Michele Caovilla Paola Caprotti Albera Giuliana Carnevali Nicola Cassa Lombarda Castellini Baldissera Letizia Ceccato Gigliola Centrobanca Cerutti Monina Serena Ceschina Nagae Yoko Chiarotto Romeo CIR Coeclerici Coin Piergiorgio e Franca Colnaghi Calissoni Laura Costa Crociere D’Amico Società di Navigazione Dardanelli Paolo De Agostini De Stefani Vincenzo Del Drago Laudomia Della Valle Diego Deutsche Bank Dreika Ag Du Chéne De Vére Villa Margherita Edison Eni Epson Italia Ermolli Bruno Etro Girolamo Falck Collalto Giustiniani Recanati Cecilia Fiat Finco Criscuolo Gabriella Fininvest Finiper Foglia Giacomo Folci Acquadro Emilia Fondazione Antonveneta Fondazione Avvocato Fernando Bussolera Fondazione Berti per l’Arte e la Scienza Fondazione CAB Istituto di Cultura Giovanni Folonari Fondazione Carla Fendi Fondazione Cattaneo Fondazione Fiera di Milano Fondazione Nicoletta Fiorucci Fondazione Zegna Annual Report 2011 Fresco Paolo G.D Gambazzi Marco Gandini Susy Garavoglia Luca Giubergia Paola Grande Stevens Franzo Gruppo De Nora Gruppo Pam Habermann Hans Christian Haggiag Petteni Mirella IDB Holding Illy Riccardo Immobiliare Ferrero Ina Assitalia Intesa Sanpaolo Italcementi Kefi Krizia L’Unione Sarda Laurent Josi Jean Pierre Lavazza Luigi Levoni Lodi Vittorio Longobardi Bruno Loro Piana Maire Tecnimont Mantegazza Herandez Aristela Mantero Cristian Mantua Surgelati Manuli Rubber Industries Marchi Falck Gioia Marchini Stefana Marocco Antonio Maria Marzotto Marta Marzotto Paolo Marzotto Pietro Mediaset Mediobanca Melchioni Micheli Francesco Missoni Ottavio e Rosita Monaci Vincenzo Müller Rivolta Manuela Nestlè Italiana Noseda Droulers Roberta Origoni della Croce Giovanni Pallavicini Maria Camilla Pandini Giorgio Paneroni Edoardo Parodi Delfino Meroni Isabella Parodi Taggia Beatrice Pastificio Rana Pederzani Pascale Piaggio Piaggio Croce Maria Cristina Annual Report 2011 Pininfarina Giorgia Pirelli Plattner Norbert Poli e Associati Porta Corradini Anna Prada Miuccia Quentin Gianluigi e Claudia Radici Zanessi Fernanda RCS Media Group Recchi Acuto Marida Recordati Fontana Anna Riccadonna Ottavio Ristori Roberto Ritter Barbara Rodriguez Boccanelli Antonella S.E.C.I.

Carolan Vice President Giancarla Berti Treasurer Susan Bender 2011 – A VERY FULL YEAR FOR THE FRIENDS OF FAI For the Friends of FAI, 2011 was an extremely busy year that resulted in a great deal of success. The Balbianello Circle’s annual trip saw them visit the Veneto, where they discovered the breathtaking architecture of Andrea Palladio and were given a sneak preview of the Villa dei Vescovi, which was restored thanks – at least in part – to the generosity of the Friends of FAI. Thus far, “Venice & the Palladian Villas” has been the most successful of the Balbianello Circle’s trips, with 30 people taking part, including a large number of new Friends. The Trust has decided to put the 2012 donation towards the restoration of the Palazzo e Torre Campatelli in San Gimignano. In the autumn, the Friends of FAI organised two events to benefit this project: a shopping evening at the Ferragamo store in Beverly Hills, and a conference on the artistic and civic history of San Gimignano at the Casa Italiana of New York University. In September, the President of the Friends of FAI, James Carolan, participated in a round-table session at the Italian Institute of Culture in New York, together with journalist Gian Antonio Stella, to discuss the administrative challenges involved in managing Italy’s cultural heritage. 2011 was, however, marked by some very sad news for all those who have followed the development of the Friends of FAI: the passing of Luigi Moscheri, the unforgettable first President of the Friends of FAI and a member of the Board of Directors of FAI in Italy. The Friends of FAI remember him warmly as someone who showed quite extraordinary dedication to the FAI cause, and who did so with great creativity, commitment and generosity. Giovanna Loredan Bonetti Ilaria Borletti Buitoni Sharleen Cooper Cohen Vannozza Guicciardini Alessandra Pellegrini * Founders Internationally, FAI benefits from the input of the “Friends of FAI”, a group of supporters based in New York. Its remit is to organise events and invite American citizens to visit Italy and contribute to safeguarding the country’s priceless artistic and cultural heritage.

Thanks to an websites wrote increasingly high-profile presence across the Italian media (press, radio and television) a total of almost and to a bolstering of our presence on multimedia channels (the internet, social networks, 10,000 articles on our activities, while etc...), in 2011 we recorded a notable rise in the awareness of FAI amongst the general public. there were more ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION than 838 items on For FAI’s Advertising and Promotion department, 2011 was a year full of major initiatives, TV and radio. FARE RETE… IN RETE Sempre più punto di riferimento per l’informazione e l’interazione con iscritti e simpatizzanti, il sito Fondoambiente.it ha proseguito la strategia finalizzata al coinvolgimento di sempre più donatori e all’ulteriore sviluppo di strumenti di comunicazione in chiave Web 2.0. including the inaugurations of the three new properties, which required the planning and implementation of customised communication tools, both physical and virtual. In addition, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification through the creation of a dedicated logo, which was used on all of the Trust’s communications and was given excellent media exposure and promotion at the FAI National Conference in Naples, at which, amongst other activities, we unveiled the new “FAI Giovani” (FAI Youth) sector. During 2011, the department was also involved in conducting qualitative/quantitative research in partnership with IPSOS, which was targeted at scientifically analysing the perception of the Italian public vis-à-vis FAI and its activities. A great deal of attention was focused on marketing our major national events such as the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day), the SMS support campaign and the “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” survey). Last of all, it is worth noting that 2011 also saw the establishment of a specific department for the conservation and promotion of FAI’s extensive video and photo archive. PRESS OFFICE Right: The longstanding image used to promote the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day). 62 In 2011, the Press Office supported the work of the Trust through almost daily contact with the media. Moreover, it bolstered its role as the FAI spokesperson on issues concerning the environment and cultural assets, collaborating with a number of national associations. The input of the Press Office was geared above all towards the inauguration of the three new properties opened up to the public to mark the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, which received a great deal of exposure in the local and national media. A large amount of coverage was also achieved across the various media channels – press, radio, TV and the internet – for national events such as the “Giornata FAI di Primavera” (FAI Spring Day), for the results of the fifth “I Luoghi del Cuore” (“Italian Places I Love” survey), for the conference held in Naples entitled “Under the ashes: role and stories of a country that resists”, which featured several heavyweight Italian and international speakers, and for 2011’s SMS fund-raising campaign, called “Ricordati di salvare l’Italia” (Remember to save Italy). In 2011, attention was also focused on the traditional concert at Milan’s La Scala and on numerous FAI exhibitions such as “The Hand of the Graphic Designer” and “Sironi: war, victory, drama. Works from the Isolabella and Gianferrari Collections” at Villa Necchi Campiglio and “Photos – Souvenirs au carré Daniel Buren” at the Villa e Collezione Panza.

Ioudioux The role played by personal passion The strategic development of our human resources concentrated on three fundamental areas: staff training, the introduction of a system of performance evaluation and the strengthening of internal communications. Above: The first convention of FAI personnel at Villa Panza (Varese) 66 FAI is a Trust constituted by people who work and interact together, guided by the passion and values that represent the heart and soul of our operations. For this reason, as far as we are concerned our personnel are a priceless resource that we should do everything we can to utilise more fully and to make more professionally competent. In this regard, in 2011 the strategic development of our human resources concentrated on three fundamental areas: staff training, the introduction of a system of performance evaluation and the strengthening of internal communications. In terms of staff training, we organised Professional Training courses in order to enhance the technical skills deployed on a daily basis, such as: Photoshop, PowerPoint and Englishlanguage courses; Role-based Training targeted at enriching management skills (e.g. Project Management courses); and Strategic Training with a view to setting innovative mid-term objectives. A total of 11 initiatives were organised – at a cost of €25,000, set aside thanks to participation in a joint fund at 0.30% of total earnings – which involved 272 people and accounted for a total of 412 hours of training. To make the management of those who work for FAI all the more transparent and effective, we also introduced the Performance Evaluation System for all staff, including managers; the system is based on classifying the extent to which the individual has reached his or her objectives. Last, in order to share the strategies and objectives for the year with all of the FAI staff, in early 2011 we staged the first Convention for all personnel, during which the Intranet FAICLUB was officially launched. All of these tools are crucial for managing the human resources of a Trust that is continually growing in terms of the number of properties it manages and, therefore, also in terms of staff numbers. In 2011, FAI’s total headcount amounted to 191, two-thirds employed directly and one-third employed on a freelance basis. In 2011, staff numbers increased by 26 with respect to 2010 – a rise due to the opening of the three new properties and to the recruiting of a number of key people to deal with strategic development and the streamlining of the overheads of the Trust (i.e. Property Development Manager, Purchasing Manager).

The places that we restore and manage are the embodiment of our mission. Through the safeguarding and enhancement of these extraordinary places, we want to raise the awareness of people in Italy and further afield of the importance of respecting and taking care of art and nature, which are elements that very much characterise the Italian national identity. The new proposal that will be made to the people of Italy (and, indeed, to everyone) to support and participate in FAI’s initiatives envisages the Trust as a partner for change, with a view to placing mankind in a more balanced relationship with the environment through the recovery and enhancement of the “environmental” heritage, composed of nature and culture. The FAI of tomorrow will work to promote a new “environmental humanism” in order to live well in a more beautiful country – a significant commitment to Italian society, and one that is sustainable only if supported by the contributions of large numbers of people. Within these development areas, we have defined the strategic objectives and the main projects: OUR STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES On the basis of the new mission proposal, we have identified five areas for development: ■ Engaging with people and companies ■ Engaging with public bodies and “institutional” backers ■ Developing strategies of planning and organisation ■ Opening new properties up to the public ■ Developing new opportunities Memberships: FAI today has around 90,000 members and donors, and by the end of 2015 it should be able to reach 160,000, identifying new targets and new contact mechanisms (project to double the numbers of members and donors). Visitors and property management: around 400,000 people visit FAI’s properties; by the end of 2015, it should be possible to increase visitors by around 25%, to at least 500,000. The new approach to the management of FAI properties will be geared towards achieving breakeven in terms of the total management budget. With this objective we will draft an overall plan for the properties (with the general guidelines and the objectives). New sources of funding: FAI must explore new veins of funding from Italian and overseas organisations in addition to the traditional areas. The following themes are provided for illustrative purposes: nature, environmental sustainability, the elderly, youngsters and nonItalians. Organisation: we want to develop our organisational infrastructure, introducing the best models of organisation, management and fund-raising currently available for non-profit bodies. Training: FAI’s staff will be supported by a substantial annual training programme targeted at optimising and developing the existing skill sets within the Trust. © F. Oppes Volunteers: we will undertake a project geared towards markedly increasing the number of volunteers who work with FAI. There are multiple, highly diversified objectives: from the improvement of the financial management of the properties (through significant cost containment) to the harnessing of the pro-active approach of volunteers in providing support to the Trust. Planning of restorations: we intend to guarantee the sustainability of our growth and to maintain the integrity of the funds that have been set aside to achieve that growth. The restoration activities will be implemented only on the basis of detailed financial plans approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. New property openings: we want to increase the number of properties for which we become responsible and can then open up to the public. To ensure the sustainability of that growth, the acquisition of properties will follow clear strategic guidelines: those properties for which FAI accepts responsibility will be selected if they demonstrate aspects of excellence and uniqueness in historical, artistic and/or landscape terms. Location will also be considered a highly strategic factor: priority will be given to properties situated in areas where we do not currently have a presence and/or areas of particularly high visibility and usability. International projects: we will launch the pilot project FAI - UK at break-even by the end of 2013. In the meantime, we will evaluate the possibility to open new FAI offices in other countries. 68 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 69 Financial Statements - Balance Sheet ASSETS 31.12.2011 31.12.2010 LIABILITIES 31.12.2011 31.12.2010 EQUITY FUNDS FIXED ASSETS INITIAL EQUITY AND RESERVES ENDOWMENT FUND INTANGIBLE Costs with long-term utility 190,708 Assets on loan or licensed 2,882,557 RESERVE FOR OPERATING ACTIVITIES 197,342 3,073,265 3,453,135 3,650,477 SURPLUS/(DEFICIT) FOR THE YEAR 258,228 258,228 14,648,920 -442,871 13,673,769 14,464,277 -993,892 64,552,432 46,945,027 12,938,105 OTHER EQUITY FUNDS TANGIBLE Land and Buildings -

Riccardo Motta Partner Milan, 13 June 2012 SURPLUS/(DEFICIT) BEFORE TAXES 1. We have audited the financial statements of Fondo Ambiente Italiano - FAI (the “Trust”) as at 31 December 2011, represented by the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Profit & Loss Account and the Explanatory Notes. The responsibility for preparing these financial statements lies with the Directors of the Trust. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities based on our audit. The format of the financial statements, the accounting principles and the criteria of evaluation adopted by the Directors are those illustrated in the appropriate paragraph in the explanatory notes. This report is not being issued for reasons of legal compliance, since Fondo Ambiente Italiano is not required to carry out a statutory audit. 2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of auditing issued by the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili (Italian National Council of Chartered Accountants) and recommended by CONSOB (Regulatory Body for the Italian Stock Exchange). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain the necessary assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and, taken as a whole, are presented fairly. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Directors. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. For our opinion on the financial statements of the prior accounting period, which are presented for comparative purposes, please refer to the report we issued on 16 May 2011. 3. In our opinion, the financial statements of Fondo Ambiente Italiano as at 31 December 2011 have been prepared, in all of their main aspects, in compliance with the auditing criteria set out in the explanatory notes. -250,277 -818,726 -192,594 -175,166 -442,871 -993,892 This report has been translated into English from the original, which was issued in Italian, solely for the convenience of international readers. SURPLUS/(DEFICIT) FOR THE YEAR 74 Annual Report 2011 Annual Report 2011 75 Notes to the financial statements Structure and content These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements. In particular, they have been prepared with consideration to, inter alia, the provisions of Legislative Decree 127/1991, which implemented the terms of the EU Directives on companies’ financial statements, as supplemented and interpreted by the accounting standards issued by the National Boards of Certified Accountants, to the extent applicable to a non-profit-making foundation. These principles, which are consistent with those adopted in the previous year, have been agreed with the Board of Auditors. MEASUREMENT The most significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011, in compliance with article 2426 of the Civil Code, were as follows: FIXED ASSETS INTANGIBLE ASSETS Charges with long-term utility These are recorded at cost, and amortized systematically over their estimated useful lives. The amortization period has been agreed with the Board of Auditors. Assets on loan or licensed to the Foundation The costs for renovations and restorations of assets loaned or licensed to the Foundation for its use is amortized over the term of the relevant contracts. For assets in respect of which contributions had been received, the contributions are recognised in a Provision for Risks called the “Provision for Contributions to Specific Assets on Loan or Licensed”, and the amortisation not recognised in the Income Statement, as the relevant amounts are taken directly from the Provision for Risks. TANGIBLE ASSETS Institutional Land, Buildings and Furnishings These are recorded at cost, which included restorations, improvements and additions, whether carried out by the Foundation or by third parties, in accordance with the tests indicated by article 2426 of the Civil Code. Specific contributions received are recognized in the Provision for Specific Contributions, an item under Equity. Land, buildings and furnishings received by way of donation are recognised at the time of the donation’s acceptance at the nominal sum of € 1, for which there is an offsetting item in the Reserve for Operating Activities. Maintenance and repair expenses that do not entail increases in equity are recognised directly in the Financial Statements –Operating Section for the year. Non-Institutional Land and Buildings This item included non-institutional land and buildings 76 received by way of donation, which are recognised at their cadastral value, plus any expenditure incurred for improvements. Their measurement is in any event prudentially held below the appraised value. Since these are civil land and buildings, they are not subject to depreciation. Plant and Machinery, Equipment, Photo Library, Motor Vehicles, Furniture and Office Equipment These assets are recorded at their purchase cost, in accordance with the tests indicated in article 2426 of the Civil Code. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, at rates considered representative of their useful lives. Where assets are covered by the Provision for Specific Contributions for Tangible Assets, their depreciation is not charged to the Income Statement, but deducted from the Provision and passed to Accumulated Depreciation, as a reduction to the asset’s residual value. Donations in kind have no impact upon the Financial Statements – Operating Section, nor do they increase the assets, but are instead recognised as Equity in the Financial Statements – Operating Section. FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS Participations in Subsidiaries These are [initially] recognised at their purchase cost. That cost is adjusted for impairment losses, if the subsidiaries have incurred losses and future profits are not expected to be sufficient to absorb the losses incurred; and the original value is reinstated in subsequent years if the grounds of the writedown no longer applies. CURRENT ASSETS CLOSING INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of their cost and their market value. The cost determination is made at the most recent purchase cost, since, inter alia, stock is made up of many items of low unit value, with reorders taking place when stock levels are close to depleted. That cost is adjusted by an obsolescence provision which reflects impairment losses on slow-moving inventory codes. RECEIVABLES Receivables are measured at their estimated realizable value. The nominal value of the receivables is adjusted to their estimated realizable value by a provision, the amount of which is recognized in the Financial Statements – Operating Section, under the Provision for Losses on Receivables. SECURITIES These are measured at the lower of their purchase cost and their market value, determined on the basis of their official average prices for the week prior to the balance sheet date. Annual Report 2011 The purchase cost, in the case of securities received by way of donation, corresponds to the market value on the day on which the Foundation becomes the owner. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS This item includes the value of bank and postal deposits and cash on hand at the end of the year. DEFERRED INCOME AND CHARGES Deferred income and charges were recognised by agreement with the Board of Auditors, and are established on an accrual basis. CAPITAL FUNDS ENDOWMENT FUND This represents the initial equity contributed by the founders and for use in pursuing the objects of the Foundation by the Board of Directors. The equity also provides assurance to third parties who enter into a relationship with the Foundation. For these reasons, the equity is strictly bound to the institutional purposes of the Foundation, and may not be disposed with in any way except with the prior authorisation of the Board of Directors. RESERVE FOR OPERATING ACTIVITIES This reserve represents the amount allocated as a reserve that may be used to meet any deficits in any particular year without drawing upon the Endowment Fund. This provision increases and decreases with the surplus or deficit in each financial year. RECAPITALISATION RESERVE Within this reserve are recognized contributions paid by the “I 200 del FAI”, for the recapitalization of the Foundation’s Endowment Fund and for use in financial investments for the achievement of the objects set out in the Foundation’s by-laws. RESERVE FOR SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS This represents all of the specific contributions received for renovations and investments, which, once made, are recognized among the Fixed Assets. PROVISIONS FOR CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER LIABILITIES Provisions for contingencies and other liabilities are set aside to cover losses or liabilities that are either certain or probable, but whose amount or date cannot be determined as at the balance sheet date. Provisions reflect the best estimate based on the information available. The Reserve for Specific Contributions for Assets on Loan or Licensed also includes contributions received in return for action we have undertaken, but which cannot be included in Equity as they relate to assets Annual Report 2011 not owned by the Foundation. The Reserve for Specific Contributions for Tangible Assets includes contributions received to cover the purchase of assets subject to depreciation. Both reserves will decrease in direct proportion with the depreciation of the assets in question. Restricted Reserves include contributions received or receivable in respect of action we have yet to undertake, which are then released to the income statement gradually as the work takes place. EMPLOYMENT SEVERANCE INDEMNITY FUND The severance indemnity fund covers sums due in respect of commitments accrued at the end of the year to employees, pursuant to relevant statute, employment contracts and any business-wide agreements. This liability is subject to indexed revaluation. It should be noted that following the entry into force of Law 296 of 27 December 2006, and of the later regulatory and implementing decrees, which have together reformed the current system of severance pay, employees were asked to make a decision as to how the severance pay accruing on or after 1 January 2007 would be applied. Consequently, the severance pay accrued up to 31 December 2006 has been set aside within the company, and amounts accruing thereafter is paid periodically into the INPS treasury fund, or to complementary pension funds. Accordingly, the fund corresponds to the total indemnities due to employees at the date of the balance sheet, net of: • liquidations in the year, following termination of employment relationships; • advance payments; • the INPS Guarantee Fund (0.50 per cent. of taxable monthly pay), a statutory requirement borne by employees’ severance funds; and • such amounts as are paid to the INPS treasury fund or to complementary pension funds. It consequently comprises the amount that would have been payable to employees in the event that their employment relationships ended on that date. LIABILITIES These are recognised at their nominal value. MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS Commitments are recognised at their contract value, while guarantees are indicated on the basis of the risk outstanding as at the balance sheet date. INCOME AND EXPENSE These are recognized and accounted on an accruals basis. Beginning with the 2010 financial statements, it was thought clearer for the Financial Statements – Operating Section to break operations into different areas, distinguishing: Operating Activities, which represents core operations; Financial Operations, in which income and expenses arising from the management of securities and bank deposits are 77 Notes to the financial statements Structure and content recognized; Extraordinary Items; and Management of the Foundation’s Properties. In particular, the latter includes: • charges relating to the restoration of properties that at year-end are recognised as increasing fixed assets; • contributions made for specific purposes such as purchases, renovations and investments, which at year-end are recognised as increasing the various Reserves for Specific • Contributions; and contributions to recapitalisation, which at year-end are recognised as increasing its Recapitalization Reserve. Since such items are thus recognised among appropriate items on the balance sheet, the impact upon the operating result is nil. TAXES Taxes are allocated on the basis of a forecast of the tax charge for the year, with reference to the legislation in force and any applicable exemptions. OTHER INFORMATION Adjustment of items related to prior years To ensure consistency of classification and greater transparency, some changes have been made to the classification of items previously used in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2010, but those reclassifications have not altered the amounts of Equity, or the result for that financial year. These reclassifications involved the items, Rent Payments, and Miscellaneous Operating Charges and Expenses, with the finance lease rentals (in the amount of € 47,983) for the purchase of the kitchens of Villa Panza reclassified from inclusion among the latter, to inclusion among the former. COMMENTARY ON THE PRINCIPAL ITEMS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 The financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011 showed a deficit for the year of € 442,871, after depreciation, amortisation and the making of appropriate provisions. BALANCE SHEET ASSETS INTANGIBLE ASSETS Charges with long-term utility This item decreased in 2011 by € 6,634.
