ELLIOTT ERWITT
SCOR
The head of communications of the very large reinsurance company SCOR, whose corporate image of absolute reliability is the guarantee of good management for its shareholders, must have been a brave man. It took a lot of courage to impose a hilarious gag to illustrate each one of the group’s insurance activities.
Elliott Erwitt is the marvellous photographer of everyday absurd and burlesque, his famous dogs are more human than their owners,
In order to illustrate the worst possible catastrophes he invited a swarm of children to play doctor, construction, gymnastics, in the bath or climbing, for the most delicious ever produced financial brochure.

Palazzo Magnani Salem documents the social affirmation of the Magnani family, whose surname recalls the original profession of “magnano”, or blacksmith. The palace was built towards the end of the sixteenth century to a design by Domenico Tibaldi and its inside is embellished by frescoes depicting the “Stories of the foundation of Rome” by Carracci.
Some rooms on the ground floor conserve the Unicredit Bank’s ancient and modern art collection which includes masterpieces by artists such as Dosso Dossi, Ludovico Carracci, Guercino, and Morandi.
