Oliviero Fiorenzi Leads Wind-Themed Workshop for Children at Elica Headquarters in Fabriano
On September 9, 2026, Elica's Fabriano headquarters was the venue for Sussurroinaria, a workshop led by Oliviero Fiorenzi as part of the twelfth edition of E-STRAORDINARIO for Kids, an initiative by Fondazione Ermanno Casoli, curated by Marcello Smarrelli. The event involved employees' children in contemporary art and teamwork. Simona Casavecchia from Università di Ancona introduced the concept of anemochory, while Elica's NTS CFD Engineer, Elisa Arcangeli, illustrated wind dynamics with a pinwheel. Participants selected words to express their thoughts on listening, sharing them through pinwheels. The program also featured storytelling from Biblioteca Multimediale R. Sassi, culminating in the creation of a permanent installation titled Sussurroinaria. Francesco Casoli highlighted the project's goal of fostering curiosity and creativity in young minds.
