Carrù
Carrù is a municipality (comune) in Piedmont. Its territory contains the Castello di Carrù, which houses the Sala Rino Filippi, used for events and initiatives for the local community and for local schools.
The Sala Rino Filippi and school initiatives
On 5 November 2026 the Sala Rino Filippi in the Castello di Carrù hosted a financial-education lesson titled «Dallo schema Ponzi alle cyber-truffe» («From Ponzi schemes to cyber-fraud»), for 190 students and teachers from the area's secondary schools [1][2]. The initiative was promoted by the Young Members Group of BCC Alpi Marittime as part of the «Finanza Epica!» programme of cooperative financial education, run by the Fondazione Tertio Millennio, the philanthropic body of the Credito Cooperativo [1][2].
Speakers at the meeting included Marco Reggio, director of the Fondazione Tertio Millennio, and Marco Marcocci, a trainer at the same foundation, who explained to participants the mechanisms of financial fraud, from traditional Ponzi schemes to digital scams linked to the misuse of new technologies and artificial intelligence [1][2]. The event was opened by the chairman of BCC Alpi Marittime, Domenico Massimino, and its general manager, Giuseppe Peirotti [1][2].
Aims of the initiative
The training programme aimed to give students tools to recognise the warning signs of a possible scam, to develop a critical approach to promises of easy money, and to adopt behaviour that protects savings and personal data [1][2]. The meeting is part of the financial-education initiatives that BCC Alpi Marittime runs together with local schools [1][2].
