🗣️ "Art and Culture could be also a strong attractor and magnet when it comes to sustainability" remarked Stefano Denicolai, Full Professor of Innovation Management at the University of Pavia and Chairman of ITIR - Institute for Transformative Innovation Research. His insights were shared during our recent event "Art and Culture as Drivers of Sustainable Development" held in collaboration with Banca Generali, Deloitte, and ITIR - Institute for Transformative Innovation Research of the University of Pavia, last January in Milano, Italy.

📊 The study focused on organizations that hold cultural assets or/and promote cultural initiatives, looking in particular at their ability to measure and communicate the social and economic impact of their activities.

💡 This initiative aims not only to highlight existing practices but also to develop transparent and collaborative policies. Our objective is to promote social cohesion, inclusion, and participation through accessible arts and culture.

🎥 Here is Professor Stefano Denicolai discussing the next steps to develop the research further.

🗣️ “During the last 20 years we have seen a change of patterns in the climatic event – directly linked to the global warming.” says Jean Gazancon, CEO at ARTE Generali. 🌍 Climate change doesn't just threaten our environment, it also threatens our culturalheritage. 🏛️

ARTE Generali is a partner in the CHARISMA project, launched co-funded by the European Union in response to the urgent challenges posed by climatechange. The main objective of the project is to identify new tools and methodologies to protect cultural heritage from the risks posed by the various effects of global warming.

At ARTE Generali, our main objective is to protect art and the intrinsic cultural heritage that art transmits from one generation to the next. This is why we are taking a proactive approach, using our deep expertise in art insurance and risk management to effectively address potential threats.

At ARTE Generali we live and breathe art every day. Art inspires, challenges, and enriches us. It speaks to each of us in a unique way, resonating with our life experiences and personalities.

Today we share our team's TEFAF favorite finds. Each piece holds a special place in our hearts for unique reasons

Jean Gazançon, CEO of ARTE Generali - “The Galerie Leage gave us the opportunity to see how diverse cultural influences contribute to create masterpieces such as this XVII century French cabinet combining Italian Pietra dura works and Flemish marquetry”.

Iris Handke, Chief Underwriting Officer and International Business Manager - “Being an admirer of the Chinese Tang Sculptures, I was immediately caught by the demeanour and expressiveness of this little guardian and his friend”.

Cristina Resti, Art Expert and Art Network Manager - “The frame plays a crucial role in art, serving not only as an aesthetic embellishment but also as a boundary and protection. Insurance can be likened to a frame, defining the artwork by focusing our attention on the risks it faces and providing protection. It suggests guidelines for the best practices in the management of the artwork, both when on display and during transport”.

Leonie Mellinghoff, Head of Art Relations and Communication - “Every stroke is perfectly placed, the composition is clearly structured. Degas manages to make us feel like we are in the room with the dancers”.

Francesca Sinagra, Junior Fine Art Underwriter - “I have always been intrigued by the evolution of the iconography of Adam and Eve, the Flemish painting in this painting highlights the colors and details in a unique, intriguing and mysterious way”.

Marco Umberto Lo Presti, Sales Underwriter - “This impressive work gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in a culture seemingly far away from Western rationale, demonstrating how literature and art are able to transcend any time, space and artificial boundaries”.

Camilla M., Head of Digital and Partnerships - “With intuitive, emotive manipulations of color and an expansive vocabulary of short, quick, loose brushstrokes, this painting made me think that in art there is no past and no future. Art lives in our present”.

Johannes Kasek, Senior Underwriter - “Is it a claim or just a trompe l‘oeil? However you should better be well insured”.

Julia Ries, Head of ARTE Generali Germany - “The so-called Atmos clock from 1930 is a very early atmospheric clock: a coveted collector's item as a table clock and a special rarity as a wall clock with a gold-plated case. Jean-Léon Reutter was the inventor of the Atmos clock, which draws its drive energy for winding the mainspring from the smallest fluctuations in temperature. A temperature change of 1 Kelvin is sufficient for an operating time of around 48 hours!”

Caroline De Combarieu, Head of ARTE Generali France - “I liked the humanity of the virgin and the kindness of the child. I was impressed by the very high quality standard”.

🗣️ “The idea of accompanying people in their plans for their lives and their dreams, for us this is very much inherent in the identity of Generali, and we very much believe that art and culture should be a part of it.” – This is what Emma Ursich, Head of Corporate Identity, Heritage & Historical Archive of Generali and Executive Officer of the Human Safety Net, told us when we met her at our event Art and Culture as Drivers of Sustainable Development - in collaboration with Banca Generali, Deloitte and ITIR - Institute for Transformative Innovation Research of the University of Pavia - last January.

💡Improving the community's legacy is a crucial component of Generali's commitment to being a LifetimePartner. Over 6.5 million people have benefited from our cultural initiatives in Italy over the past seven years, and we are involved in global programs that promote the welfare of stakeholders. By launching a number of initiatives to address the difficulty of measuring results. The results show that those involved in these initiatives are more committed to their work, confirming the significance of art and culture as a strategic asset, as well as their potential to connect social inclusion, sustainability, and the need to effectively communicate corporate culture.

What is the impact of AI on Art Insurance?

Can AI add value to asset management?

Art Insurance and asset management are topics that require experts. These could be trusted advisors from the financial and art sectors, but there is always the risk of human error. Artificial intelligence on the other hand is a tool that can used for monitoring the global art market and can guarantee a significant level of accuracy in forecasts. One does not substitute the other, it’s an existing partnership.

What are the Risk Managers of the future saying about the first steps that need to be taken to raise awareness among cultural institutions about the risks associated with climatechange?

🗣️ “It was very surprising to find out of how unaware many cultural institutions are of the impact of climate change on cultural assets”- says Sarah Corinaldi, one of the participants in the RMCH - CHARISMA Academy training week "On the job training on Risk Management of Historical Manufacts", held from 22 to 26 January at the LCA Studio Legale in Milan. "I think there needs to be a real call to action for risk mitigation practices.”

💡 How do you start building a collection?

How and where do you look for interesting artists?

💡 "Art must be discovered!” says Johanna Neuschäffer of Galerie Office Impart when we met her at Art Cologne. “The trends are the influence of new technologies on artistic practice, such as AI, blockchain, 3D animation and augmented reality".

Today, we share a selection of insights for art collectors who want to know more about what factors to consider when building a collection.

👉 Watch video to read her tips on the subject.

Those who identify risks at an early stage and carry out regular monitoring are more successful at protecting their collections.

"The preservation and protection of art and the associated assets is our top priority," says Kathrin Schmitz, Underwriter at ARTE Generali Germany.

🗣️ Watch her video to learn how ARTE Generali deals with the topic of risk management.

Kathrin will also guide you through projects such as CHARISMA and Arte Primo Plus, which are about sustainably preserving our cultural heritage and counteracting risks before they occur.

What can go wrong and cause the damage
or loss of value of an artwork or a cultural asset?

⛈️There are types of risk related to the environmental
context - for example, flooding and water damage.
Climate change and the increasing frequency of natural
disasters are factors that we can no longer ignore,
and hope will not affect us.
🔥Then there are man-made risks, transport risks, and
others.

💡How many of the risks illustrated below were you
aware of?
If you need advice on how best to protect your works
of art, do not hesitate to contact our experts.

The risk posed by climatechange to cultural heritage needs to be understood and addressed in its complexity: now more than ever, the skills and competencies needed to manage and promote tangible cultural heritage need to be integrated with risk assessment and prevention.

ARTE Generali and Mazzini Lab are partners of the EU co-funded project CHARISMA (Cultural Heritage Academy for Risk Management) joining the effort to spread high level education and awareness on the measures to be taken to protect and enhance our cultural heritage.

This time we followed closely the CHARISMA training week "On the job training on Risk Management of Historical Manufacts", held from 22 to 26 January at the LCA in Milan.
The course participants, a new generation of risk managers, learned how to identify and assess the risks to which cultural sites are exposed and acquired risk mitigation practices.

🗣️ "With this project we want to develop a highly specialised training programme dedicated to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks threatening our cultural heritage" - Francesca Peyron- Project Manager at Mazzini Lab.

🎥 Listen to what the participants took away from the training week

💡 Despite the fact that only 38% of the organisations surveyed were aware of the UNESCO Culture|2030 framework, which enables the definition of useful indicators for understanding how culture contributes to sustainable development, and only 7% actually use it, the data collected underlines an important desire for improvement and the possibility of strengthening the role of art and culture in .

💡 The discussion revealed a growing, but still limited, awareness of the importance of the arts as a strategic lever for sustainability.The experts present shared their perspectives on opportunities for improvement and the need to increase knowledge and awareness of the SDGs among organisations.

The study highlights a significant potential to recalibrate governance models and skills in the cultural sector, including through reporting, in order to amplify the positive impacts generated and contribute more effectively to the Sustainable Development Goals.

As this research is just the first step in a broader journey that we believe will inspire further studies and initiatives in this key area, we look forward to continuing to work with ITIR to further explore and promote the role of arts and culture in the context of sustainable development, and to constantly monitor the evolution of impact analysis in this area, also in light of recent European regulatory developments on sustainability and corporate reporting.

💡 When assessing the value of an Artwork, what are the most important factors?

“For works by 20th and 21st century artists that are rarely or never traded in the secondary auction market, research through AI-assisted artist databases that take into account exhibition history, future exhibitions and purchases by private and institutional collectors, as well as auction results, can help provide a better idea”. Today we share the second part of the selection of the tips on Art Evaluation shared by the renowned Art Historian @ Hans Jürgen Kronauer , when we met him at the fair.

👉 Watch the video to read his guidelines on the subject.

What are the main factors that determine the value of an artwork? We can say it out loud: the road to artistic recognition is not easy.
