The Board of Directors held on 16 December contributes ITL 100m to the solidarity and reconstruction fund set up by the National League of Cooperatives. It is also committed to allocating the 30% increase in technical provisions and investments as a priority in the earthquake zone in 1981, in particular with regard to mortgages to public entities, cooperatives and securities for social housing. Moreover, in collaboration with the United Federation of trade unions CGIL, CISL and UIL, Unipol enters into a special life insurance policy for young earthquake victims orphaned by one or both parents. 369 boys and girls are paid a periodic check until they reach 18 years of age to contribute to their education and their integration into the world of work.
