A Historical Perspective for the Present
Between resounding failures and unexpected successes, during the last century and a half the Italian infrastructure system has represented the modern backbone of the country. The construction of infrastructure networks has, however, lacked an overall vision and unity of intent and organic character, such that the networks were developed outside of any planning logic and were formed mostly independent ...
Italy’s Growth Runs on Rails
Italy is the first case in the world – and the only one in Europe – of competition between high-speed rail operators. By international standards, our country’s regulatory structure and pricing are particularly advanced. In the next few years, numerous factors of change will affect the mobility and the evolution of the railway system: demographic and social, environmental, economic, and technological. ...
All of the numbers of the Brebemi project
The A35 Brebemi was the first Italian highway to be built with project financing, i.e. through the exclusive use of private capital. In February 2019 an Agici study was presented on the economic, social, and environmental consequences of the new highway, which found positive repercussions for a territory encompassing 5 provinces, 114 municipalities, 640,000 inhabitants, and 250,000 workers, with a ...
The Ligurian Logistics Platform
Thanks to its geographic position in the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy represents a true "logistical platform" that offers multiple access points along its coast and in particular along the ports of the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas. However, it is necessary to rethink the role of ports, that must aim to acquire a different dimension that includes the entire maritime-port-logistics cluster, including ...
The Airport System More Can Be Done
The air transport market in Italy is increasingly dependent on trends at a global level, as regards both the demand for mobility and the services offered by the carriers. Airport operators find themselves working in a more and more competitive context, and thus are called on to experiment with new organizational models, to meet an increasingly differentiated and cost-sensitive demand by carriers and ...
The Digital Future of the Italian System
With the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) strategy for the single digital market, the European Union has set ambitious goals for a Gigabit society by 2025, allocating a budget of 3 billion euros and a unitary European focus on infrastructure linked to connectivity.#Italy is closing the gap it had in the supply of infrastructure and for the coverage of fast broadband, but must take significant steps ...
Digitalizing is a Must
The widespread extension of connectivity, along with a growing quantity of information generated by smart objects, opens completely new scenarios. The world of industry, for example, can face projects of transformation towards "smart factories," with greater efficiency, flexible and personalized production, planning of phases of work, and a resulting increase in competitiveness. To include the largest ...
Networks at the Center of the Urban Ecosystem
In the last 10 years, the service that energy and gas distribution network must guarantee has changed radically: points of production linked with a medium and low voltage network, increasing electrification, and much more volatile gas consumption.#Refocusing on networks will lead to an additional effort in the coming years to make new technological solutions operational: more flexibility, more safety, ...
An Intermodal Future for Milan-Bergamo Airport
In 2018 alone, the Italian airport system saw an increase of passenger traffic of more than 5.9 percent compared to the previous year, with over 185 million people carried and 1.6 million airplane movements. In this context of growth, the Milan-Bergamo airport is in third place in Italy, with a forecast of 13.5 million passengers in 2019, representing one of the main gateways of access for eastern ...
Electric Infrastructure for tomorrow
Electricity networks require urgent technological evolution, to allow for an energy transition towards a more sustainable model of production. The scenario presented in the Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) sent by the Italian government to the European Commission implies a strong commitment in regard to networks. Our daily life, which is increasingly digital, requires highly technological networks, ...
