At a crucial time for Italian infrastructure development, Eng. Francesco Ippolito, TBM engineer at Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A. overseeing the excavation phases, shares his vision and commitment to the Napoli-Bari AV construction sites. This major work will not only improve connections between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas, but also represents a significant step toward more modern and sustainable mobility. Here are his words:
“As an engineer at Impresa Pizzarotti, I am proud to be part of a company that has played a leading role in an authentic infrastructural revolution in Italy, contributing with passion and dedication to the realization of works of crucial importance for the mobility and growth of our country. At the construction sites of the Naples-Bari AV, we are committed every day and every hour to provide citizens with an infrastructure that will improve connections between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas, bringing significant benefits to the economic and social fabric of the area.
The greatest recognition goes to Dr. Paolo Pizzarotti, the guide and inspiration of this effort, and to all the men and women of this large family who contribute to the success of these projects with professionalism and dedication. Special thanks go especially to those involved in the Bovino-Orsara and Hirpinia-Orsara lots of the Napoli-Bari AV, including Eng. Sabino Del Balzo and Eng. Nicola Servidei, for their extraordinary work and the example they set for the whole group.
The experience Pizzarotti brings to the infrastructure sector represents an excellence that sets us apart from all others. These projects are not simply infrastructure works: they are links to a more connected and prosperous future, made possible by the contribution of our engineers who every day, with determination and expertise, make the vision of advanced and sustainable mobility a reality.”
