The company is involved as partner in the promotion of cultural projects. During the pandemic period, Ghella supported the exhibit and catalog INSIEME, a project conceived by Gianni Politi and promoted by Roma Capitale, Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali. The exhibit was realized inside the Aurelian Walls to display the works of 19 artists and build a dialogue between monument and contemporary[31]

In 2021, Ghella commissioned a series of photographic campaigns on construction sites in Europe, the Far East and Oceania. The works were collected in the catalog “Di roccia, fuochi e avventure sotterranee” curated by Alessandro Dandini de Sylva [32] and displayed in an exhibit at the MAXXI museum in Rome.
