Fondazione Dalmine organises exhibitions, events, and guided tours designed to share with a broad audience the value of the cultural heritage stemming from the company’s long history and extensive archive.

Fondazione Dalmine oversees two significant book collections: the current library and the historical company library, together housing approximately 10,000 volumes.
Pubblicazioni
La Fondazione Dalmine pubblica ricerche, studi e monografie incentrate sui temi della storia e della cultura industriale
The current library houses approximately 8,000 volumes, much of which comes from the 2009 donation of the library of Duccio Bigazzi, Professor of the History of Industry at the University of Milan. As a result, it is a highly specialised collection focused on the history of industry, business, and labour.
The collection also includes an extensive selection of publications on photography and industrial architecture, as well as manuals and essays on the preservation of industrial heritage and the connection between business and culture. In recent years, book acquisitions have expanded to include new themes aligned with the Foundation’s evolving activities, such as innovative teaching, ecology, fake news, and literature for children and young adults.

This collection of books, magazines, and pamphlets is closely linked to the archival documentation, both in origin and in the topics covered, and serves as a valuable resource for activities promoting business culture.
The libraries of Fondazione Dalmine are accessible by appointment, both on-site and on-line via the national catalogue
