ICAS FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
ICAS’ COMMITMENT
The Bruno Getto Scholarship
In 2000 ICAS announced a new scholarship in memory of Bruno Getto. The scholarship is currently available to talented students of the I.I.S. Camillo Olivetti institute who have distinguished themselves for outstanding academic results. This represents a great way for the group to remember its founder, while focusing on the importance of encouraging and rewarding the development of technical skills in the fields of mechanics, electronics and IT.
PIEDMONT YOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
ICAS supports the Piedmont Youth Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestra, active since 1994 and recognised as one of the main realities of its genre within the Piedmont concert music scene, has trained young musicians and concert directors over the years, who now participate in some of the main Italian music institutions.
Ivrea Giacosa Theatre
ICAS supports one of the main Eporedian music venue, the Giacosa Theatre. The theatre was founded in 1834 as the Ivrea Civic Theatre and was later renamed in 1922 in honour of Giuseppe Giacosa, great playwright, and librettist of Giacomo Puccini.
CASAINSIEME ASSOCIATION
ICAS supports the CasaInsieme association which since 1999 manages the Hospice facility based at Villa Slopins in Salerano Canavese. The association, affiliated with the ASL TO4 public medical service, is a centre for palliative care. The staff, made of doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and volunteers, has so far assisted more than 1200 patients, primarily focusing on the treatment of illness-related physical and psychological distress.
