On 8 December 1910, the Azienda Elettrica Municipale (AEM) was founded: the historical Municipal Company of Milan in the field of electricity.
For seventy years, thanks to the energy generated by the hydroelectric plants constructed in Valtellina, it has been the fulcrum of economic and energy development in Milan.
In 1981, the company takes on the supplying of gas in Milan, thus becoming the Azienda Energetica Municipale.
In 1996, it was privatised and became a joint stock company; moreover, in 1998, it had a share price in the Milan Stock Exchange. On January 1, 2008, after its merger with the ASM of Brescia, AEM SpA was given the corporate name a2a SpA.
The historical company name AEM survives in the names of organisations such as CRAEM (a company’s recreational centre) and the new Fondazione AEM, which have continued the company’s task of perpetuating the social and cultural values sensitivity that have always characterized its activity.
On the occasion of the centennial of the foundation of AEM, the Fondazione AEM and CRAEM
announce the International Competition for Ex Libris “AEM from its birth until today: energy, AEM places and industrial progress. The Ex Libris describe and illustrate” with the aim of promoting both the knowledge of historical, architectural and cultural heritage that the company has developed in the territories of Milan and Valtellina and, at same time, the awareness of the vital contribution that AEM has added to the industrialisation of Lombardy.
The exhibition of Ex Libris will be held at the Casa dell’Energia, a permanent centre of communication (museum and educational workshop), on October 22, 2010, and will be open to the public.
The exhibition will be touring Valtellina later on.
