Mapei and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia

Mapei is delighted to be able to sponsor the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia as an official partner of the special concert "Aida in concert form" conducted by Maestro Antonio Pappano scheduled for tomorrow, 27 February, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome.

This marks the continuation of a partnership under which Mapei sponsored Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia on the feast of St Cecilia in December 2014, at the concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of the début of Daniel Barenboim in 2012, at the concert by Claudio Abbado and Martha Argerich in 2011 and with "The Lord of the Rings" in Rome and the concert in Turin as part of the Festival Mito, in 2009.

Year after year, Mapei strengthens its relationship with top-flight music, thanks to its continuous contributions to the most prestigious theatres. The various events held and sponsored at Milan's Teatro alla Scala, of which Mapei has been a founding member since 2008, are examples of its initiatives, which include numerous evenings dedicated to charity and scientific research, such as the ones put on by the Negri Weizmann Committee, LILT (the Italian cancer rsearch organisation) and the Women's Section of the Italian Red Cross.

Mapei is also a Fellow of the Giuseppe Verdi Milan Symphony Orchestra.

A string of historic and architecturally important buildings have been restored with the help of Mapei's products and technologies. They include the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari, the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, the Museo Archeologico "Antonio Salinas" in Palermo and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

Mapei was also involved in a restoration and structural reinforcement project on the Auditorium Parco della Musica, and that is what gave rise to the company's relationship with the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, which is based there.
