Eni Spa

A Rome-based energy giant, Eni explores for and produces oil and natural gas around the world and runs refineries and fuel stations across Europe under its Agip and Enilive brands. It was born in 1953 as Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi, a state agency founded by the postwar figure Enrico Mattei, who had been ordered to dismantle the state oil company but instead rebuilt it into a global powerhouse. Its famous "six-legged dog" logo came from a 1952 design competition that Eni promoted in a design magazine, with the winning symbol said to evoke both the legend of the "wonderful fiery dog" guarding underground treasures and the roaring horse of the old oil industry.
