With a sense of responsibility towards local history and spiritual tradition, Rolco Bianil continues to keep alive a unique monument of cultural significance: the post-Byzantine chapel of Agia Marina, located within its premises in the Municipality of Renti.

An integral part of the region’s history, the chapel has been maintained since 1964 on the initiative and under the care of the company, which acts as the guardian of its historical and cultural value. A special moment in its history was its complete restoration after the devastating earthquake of 1999, which was undertaken entirely by Rolco Bianil, ensuring its restoration and continued use as an active place of worship.

The church opens its doors to the faithful twice a year—on the eve and on the day of the feast of Saint Marina. As every year, this year’s divine service was attended by many residents of the municipality, employees, and friends of the company, creating a warm and solemn atmosphere.

This initiative is an example of practical social responsibility, showing how entrepreneurship can coexist harmoniously with the preservation of cultural heritage. For Rolco Bianil, the chapel of Agia Marina is not just a historic building; it is a living link that connects tradition, faith, and social ethics.
