HISTORY AS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
We are the only Italian company specialized in salvaging, preserving, and unlocking the value of the documentary heritage of brands and institutions. We are humanists with a technological mindset and computer scientists with a passion for culture, always searching new inputs and new languages.
How long would it take to reproduce the intangible heritage of a company or an institution? What is the value of the history, know-how, human capital, and information capital built up and sedimented over time? What are the best strategies for tapping into, protecting, and capitalizing on that complex of assets which together form the heritage in our hands today?
Our History
Since 2011, we have been working to systematize heritage. We start from the recovery of historical archives through innovative digital tools, to arrive at creating ecosystems that can represent the past, integrate into the present and dialogue with the future. Our method combines scientific rigor with a creative approach, generating new perspectives on one's heritage and identity.
Our conception of heritage weaves together memory (the past) and vision (the future) into a key that unlocks the secret of the success of legendary brands and products. Our core business lies in the protection of all the tangible and intangible assets that enable an organization to preserve, consolidate, and leverage its identity over time.
Palazzina Porta Bava
Torino, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 44
Working with memory requires inspiration, a spark in the mind’s eye. That is why we have chosen a fabulous historic building in the heart of Turin as our home, where echoes of the history of Martini & Rossi still resound. The main entrance is located on what was originally known as the “Corso del Re,” renamed Corso Vittorio Emanuele II in 1882, a tree-lined avenue that runs in the same direction as the cardus maximus of the ancient Roman town of Taurinorum. At number 44, past the elegant portico, lies the gardens of a typical suburban villa, the Palazzina Porta Bava, designed in neoclassical style by Gaetano Lombardi in 1825.

The value added by Promemoria Group lies in our people. With a fourty-strong team of specialists in the various fields of heritage management and cultural heritage development, we offer our clients the benefits of a wide range of skills and the unique ability to coordinate them on integrated projects for outstanding results.

Together they form a highly-skilled and motivated team that draws its strength from a commitment to research and sensibility for design, a passion for technology and careful attention to detail, and its diligence in keeping to budget and time constraints.
PALAZZINA PORTA BAVA
Almost hidden, deeply immersed in the city center. Our headquarters, called the Palazzina Porta Bava, is a splendid villa dating from 1826.
A hall on the ground floor, a stone fireplace, allegorical paintings and portraits of poets, philosophers, artists and scientific personalities. Bleachers for meetings and a table soccer. We call it "Agora."
A room overlooking the porticoes of Via Pomba that takes its name from the large mid-twentieth-century card table around which Promemoria was born in 2011. Called, precisely, the "Ping Pong" room.
The hallway bears witness to the memory of our company. Small hand-painted keys all along the walls correspond to our historical clients, with the date of their founding.
