Marino Golinelli faz 100 anos, mas este não é um aniversário como os outros. Centenas de saudações de funcionários, amigos e outras pessoas chegaram de todas as partes do mundo. Estas pessoas prestaram homenagem a um homem cuja vida só pode ser exemplar. Uma vida sempre vivida com uma visão para o futuro e com um grande sentido de responsabilidade cívica e cultural.
Born in 1920, he founded Biochimici Alfa in 1948 and since then the company has always played a leading role in the history of the pharmaceutical industry becoming first Alfa Wassermann and then – merging with Sigma Tau – Alfasigma, a large multinational group in Italian capital.
Over the years, Marino Golinelli has gone beyond his role as an entrepreneur, becoming a fundamental part of his community. A philanthropist who in 1988 decided to create the Golinelli Foundation in which he invests over 85 million euros of his personal wealth. An organization active in education, training, research and innovation that offers people tools to understand the future, promoting cultural growth, awareness and the ability to responsibly face the world of work with professionalism and humanity.
To celebrate the first hundred years of such a rich life, Alfasigma employees have created a website www.centomarinogolinelli.it where greetings are published in the form of videos, text messages, photographs, poems, images and drawings. Hundreds of displays of affection from all over the world that symbolize the gratitude and love of a community that wants to thank a man like few others, a Cavaliere del lavoro and a real warrior in life.
