Projects and initiatives in support of culture | BPER Group

Culture

Culture is social commitment.

We actively participate in cultural, literary and musical initiatives throughout the country. We support associations that promote reading, art, history and general culture with the aim of fostering social cohesion and promoting the active participation of citizenship.

The BPER Gallery

It is an exhibition space open to the public on Via Scudari in Modena. With the La Galleria project we enhance, protect and make usable one of Italy's largest corporate collections, which has about a thousand valuable works of art. Not just a museum, but a reality open to cultural exchange and dialogue, close to the territory and people.
