Banca Network Investimenti (BNI), one of the most dynamic networks of financial promoters active throughout the country, will participate in the Spoleto Festival as a sponsor of the proposed exhibitions from Vittorio Sgarbi thus continuing its initiative to bring people closer to art presented last November and called "Invitation to the Museum." In explaining the reasons for the initiative, President Angelo Testori, stressed that "Banca Network Investimenti's sole objective is to obtain a return in terms of enhancing its image by associating its name with a qualified cultural initiative. Art and, in particular, painting from always have a strong symbolic value. We believe that our success also depends on the overall cultural growth of the environment in which we operate, which is why we wanted to participate to this important event."

The book "Women and Goddesses in Italian Museums" written from Vittorio Sgarbi, of which Banca Network Investimenti is the publisher, will also be presented during the Festival. The book was born to conclusion of the "Invitation to the Museum" project, an initiative through which the Bank offered free admission to Italy's main museums, and connoted its institutional image, using for the personalization of the means of payment (checkbooks, ATMs and credit cards), women's faces painted by major Italian authors: Appiani, Botticelli, Mantegna, Modigliani, Raphael, Zandomeneghi, Cosimo and de Nittis.
