Feb. 17 – Pirelli is financing restoration efforts of the Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro. Last month, the iconic statue was hit by lighting, which damaged on of the fingers on the right hand. Restoration officially kicked off thanks to Archbishop Orani Tempesta and will continue for 3-4 months. “In 2014, Pirelli celebrates 85 years in Brazil – said Paolo Dal Pino, president of Pirelli America del Sud – and lending a hand in this national effort is a way for us to celebrate this milestone.”
