The document archive results from long and complex searching, selecting and ordering of cards, making it possible to reconstruct the history of Eni and its companies, the oil industry and Italian energy policy. The stored documents date back to the first years of the 20th century and are gradually increasing in number as Eni's Historical Archive takes on the material no longer in use in the company. All documents which were created over 30 years ago can be freely accessed. The cards provide detailed descriptions and can be reproduced for study and research purposes.

The Eni fonds includes the cards of the secretaries of the company's chairman starting from Enrico Mattei, all the company books, the financial statements of Eni and its companies, the material produced by the various company departments, and in particular by Foreign Management, External Relations Management, Company Secretariat and Staff and Planning Management.

The Agip fonds holds all documentation on Agip and its subsidiaries and partners. In particular, as well as the company books and accounts, there's a description of the cards on exploration, exploitation and production of hydrocarbons in Italy and abroad, right from the beginnings of the search for oil undertaken by companies on behalf of the state.

The fonds relates to Eni's public companies and subsidiaries, such as Spi, Aipa, Sicea, Tescon and Gepi. Moreover, the fonds contains the documentation on Asap, the petrol company trade union association founded in 1957 by Enrico Mattei to manage industrial relations with workers in the companies of the energy sector.

The Personal Archives fonds holds the cards of those who have donated their archive or a part of it to Eni's Historical Archive. This mostly means the cards of pioneers who have worked at or on behalf of Eni, in Italy and abroad, and dealt with activities connected to the world of oil.

The other sources fonds holds descriptions of the photocopied and/or digital cards that come from other archives (Italian and otherwise) and have been collected and stored by Eni's Historical Archive to complete its heritage of documentation. The material permits more in-depth exploration of themes and events linked to Eni's history.

The Snam fonds is made up of all the documentation on Snam and its subsidiaries and partners. In particular, as well as the company books, the fonds contains the cards that enable reconstruction of the history of Italian methanisation, with the building of methane pipelines and marketing and distribution of natural gas.

Eni acquires a share in IEOC (International Egyptian Oil Company)

Eni's collaboration with Egypt

When Eni was born in 1953, Italy was a country starved of oil and energy. The economy and the entire industrial sector were driven by reconstruction and a desire for Italy to get back on its feet. Beginning in 1946, Agip - the state agency that Enrico Mattei was instructed to dissolve - made several important discoveries in the Po valley. But these were mostly gas fields, and Italy needed oil too. At that moment in history, decolonisation was underway in Africa. Mattei's gaze was drawn to nearby Egypt, where he made a pact with President Gamal Abdel Nasser. It was there that Eni applied a new type of contract for the first time anywhere in the world. Known to posterity as the Mattei formula, it went on to revolutionise the relationship between oil companies and producer countries.

"Eni has utmost respect for its employees and their families, and it will do whatever it takes to ensure all the workers get the rest they deserve." (Enrico Mattei)

Summer camps

Cesenatico and Borca di Cadore are two excellent elements within the panorama of corporate welfare architecture. The seaside location Cesenatico was designed by architect Giuseppe Vaccaro and built at the end of the 1930s. The Borca di Cadore mountain facility was designed by architect Edoardo Gellner and constructed in the mid-1950s. Both were created to fulfil a social function for Eni Group employees and their families. The corporate holiday village in the Dolomite Mountains was made available to Eni employees at every level of the Company. All who went enjoyed a well-deserved break with their families in a dream-like location where everyone received the same treatment. These holiday villages are not only state-of-the-art architectural gems, for which we are quite proud, they are also tools and symbols of one big corporate family.
