Contents
Early life
Alberto Pirelli, second son of Giovanni Battista, founder of the homonymous company based in Milan, continued the family business with his older brother Piero, also taking an interest in the development process of the nascent Italian industry. After graduating from the Liceo Classico Giuseppe Parini in Milan, he attended courses in engineering, economics and law, graduating in law in 1904 at the University of Genoa In the same years, at the suggestion of his father, he also attended some courses at the Regio Istituto Tecnico Superiore (later Politecnico di Milano) and the Luigi Bocconi Commercial University, in order to gain knowledge and tools of economics, mechanics and industrial accounting.[1]
In December 1904 Alberto Pirelli and his brother Piero were appointed co-directors by the shareholders' meeting of Pirelli & Co., with powers and responsibilities equal to those of their father. At the heart of the decision to make the sons join in the management of the company is the objective of exploiting the opportunities for growth and international expansion that are emerging, thanks to the great global development of the rubber industry, in particular in the electrical cables and tires sector. The two brothers soon consolidated a precise division of operational tasks, which entrusted Piero with the weight of the management of the company, of which in 1927 he redrawn the corporate structure, and Alberto the relations with the government institutions, the ministerial apparatus and the management of international relations.[1]
Expansion of the trading network
Alberto Pirelli - in close union with his brother, a discreet behind-the-scenes director-is the protagonist of the phase of strong international expansion that the company knows in the years following his appointment as director. Aware of the difficulties of penetration of foreign markets, also due to competition from large German and American companies, Pirelli works first of all for a strengthening of the commercial network, replacing the original organization based on agents with the creation of commercial branches, later transformed into autonomous companies. The second step is the construction of new production facilities abroad, an objective that Pirelli pursues by forging a series of alliances with local companies. They especially expand in Great Britain and Argentina.
Strategic alliances
With the end of the First World War, in parallel with the consolidation of the international presence and the reorganization of foreign holdings, Pirelli aims to strengthen the position of the leading Italian manufacturer held by the company in the cable sector, through the acquisition of shareholdings in electric and telephone companies.
The years between the two wars also represent for Pirelli the period of the most intense participation in Italian and international public and political life. After a first experience at the High Commission for the liquidation of the Ministries of Arms, Ammunition and Aeronautics, where he was called in November 1918 by Ettore Conti to deal with relations with the Allied powers, Pirelli participated, now as a "technician", now in the most demanding role of "delegate", in the most important economic negotiations that took place after the First World War – from the Paris Peace Conference (1919) to the Dawes Committee (1924) and from the London Conference (1924), and the Young Committee (1929). From 1920 to 1922 he also represented Italy in the International Labour Office in Geneva and subsequently, from 1923 to 1927, in the Economic Committee of the League of Nations. On behalf of the Italian Government, between 1926 and 1928 he oversaw the organization of the Institute for Export, of which he also became the first president. He is one of the founders of the Institute of International Political Studies (ISPI), whose presidency he held from 1934 to 1967. Among the most important positions he held in these years is also that of Italian representative at the International Chamber of Commerce of which he was president from 1927 to 1929.
