A project that has lasted 3 months and has seen a number of teams from Acrobatica (formerly EdiliziAcrobatica) involved on two of the most precious palazzos of Italy’s cultural historical heritage on the Isole Borromee and has contributed to conserving its splendour for future times.

 

Starting from November last year, the acrobatic teams of operators on ropes have worked on both Borromeo palazzos, on Isola Madre and Isola Bella. In particular, on Isola Madre, they were responsible for the restoration of over 1000 m2 of the curved “coppo” tile roof through the removal and upgrading of the existing tiles, the overhauling of the underlying wooden framework and the repositioning of tiles. On Isola Bella, on the other hand, they operated suspended 25m above the ground, positioning fire protection sensors inside the central room of the palazzo with its splendid dome on top.

 

"For us this restoration is much more than a building intervention - stated Vitaliano Borromeo, President of Terre Borromeo - . It is the confirmation of our commitment to the showcasing of our architectural and cultural heritage. Every project is taken on with the maximum professionalism and dedication, with the aim of displaying buildings that tell our story to the community, conserving their authenticity and guaranteeing their enjoyment byfuture generations. The quality of our work is the result of expertise, passion and attention devoted to details, elements that have always characterized our company".

 

“The intervention that our teams of Acrobatica operators conducted in the two Borromeo palazzos” - commented Anna Marras CEO of EdiliziAcrobatica S.p.A. - magnificent examples of the Italian architecture of the 16th and17th centuries, is the cause of great pride and satisfaction for us. Taking responsibility, with care and attention, for the artistic heritage of this country is a mission to which we attend with the awareness that, through our work, beauty will keep on living for a long time”.
