Uno sguardo alle biblioteche delle aziende: il caso delle collezioni librarie dell'Archivio storico Enel

This contribution aims to offer a reflection on corporate libraries, which are valuable reservoirs of specialized scientific literature but also tools of corporate welfare and well-being for worker and citizen communities. It subsequently proposes an analysis of the book collection belonging to the Enel Historical Archive, which brings together book collections from various corporate departments. This collection, through its diversity, preserves a heritage acquired with a technical-scientific perspective as well as cultural and narrative aspects. The holdings also account for the collections of companies that existed in the area before the nationalization of the electricity sector and their specificities.
