Imprese Vincenti.
Imprese Vincenti is the flagship programme of Intesa Sanpaolo's Banca dei Territori for the recognition of Italian entrepreneurial excellence. Since 2019 it has selected over 650 companies from more than 14,000 applications, building a community of firms accompanied on paths of growth, internationalisation, digitalisation and sustainability.
For the 6th edition, the programme selects 150 companies — 140 Italian and 10 international — spread across fifteen regional stages. Each stage spotlights ten companies of the territory, evaluated across eight business dimensions: GDP contribution, social impact, innovation and R&D investments, digital and ecological transition, internationalisation, generational handover, training and welfare, asset and business protection.
The Lazio & Abruzzo regional stage — the ninth of the 6th edition, hosted in Rome — featured ten companies of the territory. Creation Art was selected for the Cinema sector: a choice that recognises a trade hard to summarise in a deck, that of a vertical workshop building, every day, the physical objects of Italian cinema.
Programme partners include Bain & Company, ELITE, Gambero Rosso, Microsoft Italy, Cerved, Coldiretti, NATIVA, Circularity, Digit'ed, Tinexta, AICCON and Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni.

What makes us us.
Three directions that, in Intesa Sanpaolo's reading, sum up our position on the market.
-
Product innovation
Techniques and materials that evolve project after project, from fiberglass to large-format 3D printing.
-
Production flexibility
The ability to move from a film set to a theme park to a museum exhibition without losing artisanal quality.
-
Design
The meeting point between the production designer's drawing and the craftsmanship of our departments — refined over forty years of work.

Meriem Rihani tells Creation Art's story.
During the Lazio & Abruzzo stage, Meriem Rihani — co-owner and managing voice of Creation Art — represented the company on Intesa Sanpaolo's stage, in front of the other entrepreneurs of the territory and the institutional audience.
Her speech, from minute 39:20 of the official broadcast, tells how a scenography company that works with Hollywood, European theme parks and major TV productions is built — starting from a workshop in the Roman hills. She talks about the transition from sole proprietorship to limited company, about how fifty workers are held together through seasonal commissions, about why there are no schools in Italy for this trade.
It is rare for a woman to take the microphone on a panel of Italian cinema entrepreneurs. Meriem does so with the clarity of someone who builds that cinema every single day, behind the scenes.

Public works · SOA certification
SOA-certified company.
Creation Art holds an SOA certification — Società Organismo di Attestazione — issued by the Italian body AttestA. SOA is the credential that, under Italian law, is required to take part in public-works tenders above €150,000, certifying the technical, financial and organisational capability of the company to execute public-sector projects.
The certificate is issued after a thorough audit of the company's previous ten financial years — balance sheets, staff, equipment, completed works, references — carried out by bodies authorised by the Italian Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC). Italian law defines more than 50 categories: 13 general works (code OG) and 39 specialised works (code OS), covering the full spectrum of public projects, from civil buildings to monumental restoration.
The certificate is valid for five years, with a mandatory review at year three. For commissioning parties — public institutions, museum foundations, mixed-ownership parks, ministries — the certification is a formal guarantee that the company is equipped to handle complex jobs, with documented controls and responsibilities.
Awards are not the destination. They are how outsiders — banks, public bodies, national programmes — confirm what we have known for forty years: that this craft is only done at top quality, and that doing it well is a choice you make every single time.
