“100 Years with Carlotto” is not just a book, but a tribute to **Carlotto Pasini**, a figure emblematically connected to the steel industry and its Brescia roots. Written by Luciano Costa and published by Feralpi Group, the volume aims to recount the life and legacy of this entrepreneur from **Odolo**, in Valle Sabbia, highlighting his extraordinary personal and professional journey.
The book serves as a testimony that goes beyond mere corporate history. It celebrates not only Pasini’s entrepreneurial successes but also the values and visions that guided him. Through pages rich with personal anecdotes and stories shared with partners and collaborators, a portrait emerges of a man deeply connected to his land and his work. The narrative traces the humble beginnings of his business, which started with a small forge for producing agricultural tools, evolving into one of the leading names in the steel sector.
**A Tribute to Family**
In addition to honoring the founder, “100 Years with Carlotto” represents a tribute from his children – Maria Giulia, Giuseppe, Giovanni, and Cesare – who celebrate his legacy. The book acts as a bridge between the past and the present, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the founder’s world and the dreams that inspired his working life.
The narrative does not adhere to traditional historiography; rather, it offers an intimate glimpse into Pasini’s daily life and his interactions with colleagues and friends. This approach allows readers to perceive the “spirit of Carlotto,” characterized by values such as honesty, mutual respect, and the desire to build a better future through collaboration.
**The Legacy of the Feralpi Spirit**
The Pasini family emphasizes how the founder’s spirit has given rise to what is now known as the “Feralpi spirit.” This corporate philosophy promotes the importance of community, goodwill, and humanity in daily work. “Doing good without flaunting it” is one of the fundamental principles that continues to inspire new generations within the company.
In the words of Giovanni Bazoli, the Emeritus President of Banca Intesa Sanpaolo, the crucial role of collaborators in the efficiency of steel companies is highlighted: “The protagonists are not just the entrepreneurs,” Bazoli states, “but also all those who contribute every day to the success of businesses.”
In conclusion, “100 Years with Carlotto” represents not only a celebration of the entrepreneurial figure of **Carlotto Pasini** but also an invitation for future generations to find inspiration in the values imparted by the founder to build a better tomorrow together.
