icP on top of the Everest with Andrea Lanfri

Industria Cartaria Pieretti supported the endeavour of Andrea Lanfri, an athlete and Paralympic mountaineer from Lucca who made his dream come true: to reach the top of the world with prostheses.

ICP, together with other companies in the area, bet on this new challenge and reached the summit of Everest with Andrea Lanfri.

In 2015, due to fulminant meningitis with meningococcal sepsis, Lanfri underwent the amputation of both legs and seven fingers. Despite this, the athlete from Lucca never lost heart and made his life an example of tenacity and courage for all.

The last challenge was the most important one: to reach 8848 meters of the highest peak in the world. Challenge won by Andrea on 13^th May, around 1am (Italy time). An exceptional sporting feat, in which he was accompanied by his friend and mountain guide Luca Montanari.

This was much more than just a sport challenge: it was making a dream come true, setting goals and going beyond your limits.

Well done Andrea!

Core board for the Kirikù kindergarten: a special delivery from icP for kids and teachers of the Kirikù kindergarten in Lucca. They can use the board for fun and educational activities throughout the month of July. This donation comes from icP -industria cartaria Pieretti, part of the Group Paper Board Alliance (a business reality which combines icP from Lucca and Cartiera dell’Adda from Calolziocorte – Lecco). icP is long-time producer of recycled core board.

Sonia Bernicchi, International Sales and Marketing Manager of Paper Board Alliance, delivered icP core board in the hands of the teachers of the Cooperative La Luce. Cooperative La Luce handles the kindergarten and works together with icP to develop a stable collaboration for initiatives dedicated to nurseries.

The goal is to promote and encourage the idea of the recycling from an early age. In fact icP produces core board with raw material coming from the waste collection. Touching and using the material help kids to be aware of the importance of the environment through educational activities that support their coordination and creativity.
