The new Ortigia cycle/pedestrian bridge was inaugurated on Saturday 1 March in a ceremony marked by festivity and community participation, marking a further step in the modernization and enhancement of the city’s public spaces. The work represents an important investment in soft mobility and in an urban redevelopment that encompasses the historic center and the entire port area.
An Integrated Project for the City – Financed thanks to funds earmarked for soft mobility, the tourist tax and the recovery of the historic center, the bridge is part of a broad urban regeneration plan. This plan includes, in addition to the work itself, the redevelopment of Piazza delle Poste, Marinaretti and the works along Via Regina Margherita with Lo Sbarcadero. The aim is to create a charming walk along the sea, capable of connecting Syracusans and tourists, thus strengthening the attractiveness and livability of the area.
Technical Features and Innovative Design – The work we have created, designed by architect Lorenzo Attolico and completed in just eight months, has a length of 42 meters and a standard width of 5 meters – which expands to 6 meters in the central area to offer a breathtaking panoramic view of Ortigia – the bridge is a perfect synthesis between functionality and design. The structure, composed of steel and wood, rises 3.20 meters above the water level, while ensuring a robust maximum capacity of 30 tons thanks to steel cables. The composite wood floor, resistant to bad weather, and the stainless steel fences equipped with a latest-generation mesh ensure safety and durability, making the work not only a connection element, but also a potential emergency route for rescue vehicles.
A Meeting of Tradition and Innovation – The inauguration, characterized by the presence of families, music and entertainment activities, highlighted how the project goes well beyond the simple infrastructural construction: it represents an added value for the community and a symbol of the shared commitment between institutions and local entities for the promotion of sustainable mobility and the quality of urban life.
The Pride of Our Company – Our sole director, Paolo Augliera, proudly underlined the importance of this achievement, stating: “For Solesi, who built it, it was a pleasure and an honor to do it for the city of Syracuse, where we have been working for 45 years”. We are proud to have created this work, which not only improves the mobility of our city, but significantly contributes to the enhancement of our urban heritage. With this work, our company strengthens its commitment to creating innovative and functional infrastructures, capable of responding to the current and future needs of the city. The new cycle/pedestrian bridge of Ortigia confirms itself as a symbol of progress, sustainability and civic pride, destined to become a point of reference for Syracusans and visitors.

On November 14, the fourth edition of degree thesis award for the female “Ingenio” took place in the Conference Room of the General Command of the Port Authorities – Coast Guard in Rome, in which Solesi Spa participated and contributed as Ambassador and evaluator of the candidates for the year 2024.
This award, born from the initiative of the National Council of Engineers, is part of a broader project that aims to support and enhance female figures in the scientific sector and in the engineering sector, in line with Objective 5, Gender Equality, of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations.
The theme chosen for the fourth edition of the Award was “The 5.0 paradigm and the strategic role of Engineering”.
The 5.0 paradigm of economic development (at the basis of the European Commission report “Industry 5.0 – Towards a sustainable, humancentric and resilient European industry”) is based on the now generally acquired awareness that an approach oriented exclusively towards profit is no longer viable but must be inspired by three fundamental concepts: centrality of the person; resilience; sustainability.
The winners of the award were selected from approximately 200 candidates, Italian graduates in engineering (both bachelor’s and master’s degrees) or recent research doctors.
The growing participation of female engineers in the competition represents significant progress. Their presence demonstrates the value of female skills and innovative ideas that are starting to shape this sector, traditionally dominated by men.
This edition of the award was not only an opportunity to recognize merit, but also wanted to underline the importance of creating a safe working environment, free from violence and discrimination and for this reason a special award was established dedicated to the memory of Giulia Cecchettin and intended for theses in biomedical engineering. Solesi Spa is actively committed to supporting initiatives that aim to emancipate and enhance women and to help build a more equitable and inclusive professional future. Participation in the “Ingenio al Femminile” award represents, for the company, not only a moment of celebration, but a declaration of intent towards overcoming gender barriers and promoting cultural change, stimulating an inclusive and diverse working environment.

Recently, the 77th National Congress of the Intercultura ODV association took place in Syracuse, an event rich in meaning and opportunities for cultural growth.

On this occasion, the Solesi SPA company had the privilege of actively supporting the initiative, helping to promote the synergy between different cultural traditions.

The conference entitled “CHANGING FRONTIERS, belonging to multiple cultures: dialogue between culture and identity in the era of global crises” offered an important opportunity to delve into fundamental issues such as the climate crisis, global inequalities and political tensions.

During the three intense days of meetings, the congress brought together numerous representatives from different contexts. In particular, the opening ceremony saw the participation of important figures, including Giorgia Butera, President of Mete and of the International Observatory for Human Rights and Research, and Antonio Vigilante, former United Nations official.

The main objective of the Congress was to foster mutual understanding and constructive collaboration, which are essential elements for building bridges between communities and encouraging intercultural dialogue.

Solesi, in particular, is committed to promoting youth sustainability campaigns on a daily basis, recognizing the importance of offering young people the resources needed for high-level personal and professional training.

The Intercultura ODV association and Solesi share the vision that involving young people in these issues can contribute to a more cohesive and open society. This commitment to training young people is essential in a context in which future generations will be called upon to face increasingly complex and global challenges.

Through its support for these events, Solesi demonstrates its commitment to active social responsibility, creating opportunities for young people and nurturing a future in which cultural diversity is seen as a precious resource. This congress represents an important step towards a more inclusive community and quality training that embraces the entire world.

Rewarding talented young girls graduates not only celebrates their commitment and success, but at the same time gives them the opportunity to excel within an increasingly inclusive and equitable working environment.

An ideal that Paolo Augliera, Sole Director of Solesi S.p.A., has always supported.

To further strengthen this commitment this year Solesi S.p.A. also wanted to contribute by supporting the “Ingenio al femminile” project, promoted by the National Council of Engineers and aimed at enhancing female talents and professionalism in engineering.
The project also represents a concrete institutional response to one of the objectives set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations Organization. This concerns, in particular, Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Our participation in the female Ingenio Award is intended as a warning to young women who are about to embark on a university career in STEM subjects, i.e. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, to collaborate to the breaking down of stereotypes and beliefs.

Every individual, whether man or woman, must be free to study and make their own contribution to society. We want to give value to skills. Establish new relationships and acquaintances with young students, fresh minds with dynamic visions who have distinguished themselves brilliantly in their studies.
Solesi S.p.A. is convinced that female strength represents a driving factor in every activity and especially in the construction sector, where the male figure continues to be more pronounced. Day after day, we realize how fundamental the figure of a female technician is: it is no coincidence that 35% of coordination and management roles in Solesi S.p.A. are occupied by women and, on construction sites, they carry out important roles in the HSE-Q Department.
We continue to work every day imagining ourselves as a structure in which everyone does their part. Men may be the pillars and women the beams, but we will be important to each other, all necessary so that the structure, in its entirety, continues to be solid and resistant to stress.

The deadline for submitting applications for young female engineers and PhDs is open until 12:00 on 22 July 2024. Visit the reference website for more details.

Solesi S.p.A. and Cammisa Costruzioni S.r.l. opened the doors of the “Syraka Winery in Syracuse” construction site to the students of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Syracuse. The visit, led by Professor Luigi Alini, was made possible thanks to Francesco Polito and the engineers Cristina Foti and Giuseppe Liarda, with the support of the architect Tortorici of the OPT of Syracuse (Joint Territorial Body for Construction). During the lesson on site, held as part of the course of study dedicated to executive design, construction systems, technological innovation and safety were discussed.

The meeting stimulated a dialogue between students, designers, and company representatives, with our Dimitri Garofalo (Solesi S.p.A.) and Salvatore La Rosa (Cammisa Costruzioni S.r.l.), allowing students to deepen their practical knowledge of the sector. The enthusiasm and participation of the students was remarkable, a positive sign for the future of the construction sector and for the integration between academic training and job opportunities.

The ANCE Siracusa Members’ Assembly was held yesterday at the headquarters of Confindustria Siracusa, during which the social positions for the period 2024-2028 were renewed.

The new President Paolo Augliera, Sole Director of Solesi SpA, was elected unanimously, supported by the vice presidents Alberto Di Stefano (DSTeamnework Srl) and Eraldo Blarasin (Coege Srl), and by the Treasurer Francesca Romana Riili (Assennato Costruzioni Edilizie Srl).

Paolo Augliera expressed gratitude to the entrepreneurs for their commitment to promoting the growth of the construction sector and outlined a program focused on shared management, active dialogue with the institutions and an open discussion with the trade unions to support businesses as much as possible.

The General Council of ANCE will also be composed of: Laura Augliera (Solesi SpA), Eraldo Blarasin (Coege Srl), Piero Boccadifuoco (Procurement and Construction Boccadifuoco Srl), Luca Galvagno (Enedil Srl), Salvatore La Rosa (Cammisa Costruzioni Srl), Sebastiano Milazzo (Tixe Srl).

The appointment of Paolo Augliera and Laura Augliera within ANCE Siracusa fills our company with pride and we are sure that they will give added value to the precious work carried out by the association, thanks to their dedication and competence.

Last October 20th the Cassa edile Awards 2023 was held in Bari, organized by the National Joint Commission of Building Funds and promoted by SAIE. The competition is an ethical competition, an innovative prize that does not recognize records, but values within the construction supply chain, putting the spotlight on entrepreneurship, professionalism and, above all, respect for workers and rules.

The award is awarded to all those who carry forward positive values and contribute to the development of an ethical business system that supports the bilateral construction system.

The objective of this prestigious recognition is therefore to enhance companies that combat unfair competition by standing out for their compliance with the rules and national collective agreements. The project was therefore born to create an “ethical system” that favors opportunities and guarantees for businesses and for the future of workers.

Among the 54 companies throughout the province of Syracuse awarded by the Cassa Edile, Solesi S.p.A. obtained recognition for the second consecutive year and this time for three categories in the competition:

DREAM TEAM, recognition given to regular companies in the current financial year that have the highest fully paid contributions.
FAIR PLAY, award to the regular company that has been reporting for several months without suspension. The title celebrates the correctness of the company.
TOP PLAYER COMPANY, award to the companies with the highest number of hours worked per worker in the indicated financial year. The title celebrates the extraordinary commitment of the company.

These awards are a recognition of our ongoing commitment to advancing our work and values, and we are grateful for the tireless work of our employees, the trust of our customers and the support of our partners.

We are happy to share with all of you that our company has won the prestigious award for the best company at Donges site, France, for safety and environmental management for the fifth time. This recognition adds to the four awards previously won, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to protecting the environment and the safety of our employees and business partners.

Our company has always placed social responsibility and sustainability at the heart of its activities, committing itself to guaranteeing high standards of safety and environmental protection in all our sites. This important milestone was achieved thanks to the constant commitment of our team and the support of our stakeholders, which have allowed us to become one of the best companies in construction site for safety and environmental management.

We would like to thank all those who have contributed to us obtaining this award, starting with our employees, our partners and all our stakeholders, who have allowed us to achieve this goal through their support and collaboration.

This important recognition pushes us to continue on the path of sustainability and excellence in the management of our future projects. We will continue to work with the same determination to ensure safety and environmental protection in all our projects, and to work together for the good of our company and the environment in which we operate.

We thank you again for support and cooperation, and we are proud to be able to share this great victory with all of you.

We are pleased to share with you the feedback we have received from one of our major customers, KT – Kinetics Technology S.p.A., a company of the Maire Tecnimont Group. Sincere appreciation and gratitude has been expressed to us for the management of the activities relating to the construction of the new part of the plant in the Total refinery in Donges.

Our client has recognized SOLESI’s commitment to promoting the safety of all personnel involved in the project, through the installation of wooden railings, even where the standard protection systems could not have been performing or applicable, demonstrating our focus on health, safety and environmental (HSE) issues.

The preparations that SOLESI has decided to install did not only concern the areas of exclusive pertinence of our workers, but they concerned all the areas occupied by the companies working on the project, providing a contribution and an incentive for safe work even to those companies that do not have adequate resources to allow their employees to operate in a comfortable working environment, due to potential penalizing factors not related to their own direct risks.

The activities carried out in the occupied areas and the possible impacts on access to the site and on the general use have been carefully considered, demonstrating once again SOLESI’s commitment to operate in a responsible and sustainable way. We are proud to have been chosen as a partner in this project and to have contributed to the promotion of a safe and healthy working environment for our staff and for all those who work with us.

We will continue to work hard to ensure high quality work that complies with HSE standards and responds to the needs of our stakeholders.

We are pleased to share that our company has won for the fourth time the award for best company in construction site safety and environmental management, within the Horizon project at Total’s refinery in Donges, France. This important acknowledgment demonstrates our company’s constant commitment to ensuring maximum safety and protection of the environment in which we operate.

We are proud to have received this recognition for the fourth time, which represents a confirmation of the effectiveness of our company policies and our actions in matters of safety and the environment. We will continue to work with the utmost attention to guarantee a safe and healthy working environment for our employees and for all those who work within the Donges refinery, investing in efficient equipment and means and in the continuous training of our personnel.

We are determined to continue on this path, providing a high quality work and guaranteeing high safety and environmental standards for our employees, our suppliers and our customers.
