Intesa Sanpaolo Vita, Italy's largest bank, has launched "Proteggere ad arte," a contest for millennials aged 18 and over residing in Italy, inviting them to interpret insurance protection through video, photography, and figurative arts. The initiative, with Vittorio Brumotti as ambassador, runs until October 27, 2021. Participants can submit works via the dedicated website. Curators include Lavinia Biancalani (video), Alice Pasquini (figurative arts), and Guido Taroni (photography). A public vote and curator selection will narrow entries to 30 semi-finalists (10 per category), then 9 finalists (3 per category). Winners will be announced on December 15, 2021, receiving up to €3,000 in professional equipment and an internship at Intesa Sanpaolo. Six runners-up will get €1,000 vouchers.
