The business combinations carried out as part of the project have given rise to a new Group that re‐affirms its international vocation, while consolidating its strong foothold in Italy with the ambition of accompanying the entire chain of major works in terms of dimensional and technological growth as part of the infrastructure development plan that the Italian government is pursuing.
