About us

1994

Origins

The Acrobatica Group's story begins in Genoa, where Riccardo Iovino founded EdiliziAcrobatica on a simple but powerful idea: bringing the double-rope safety technique he had mastered sailing to the construction industry. This first venture would grow, over the years, into the Acrobatica Group.

2007

Growth

In 2007, Anna Marras joined EdiliziAcrobatica as a partner alongside the founder, convinced of the company's potential. Her arrival brought new approaches to recruiting and training people, and laid the groundwork for the expansion that would gradually carry the company beyond Italy and toward the Group structure it has today.

2015

Expansion

In 2015 Acrobatica opened its first franchise in Biella, with an agreement signed with Maurizio Aimino. But the company's expansion of its direct and franchise offices was so rapid that the Biella point was soon absorbed by the parent company and Maurizio Aimino was appointed Italy Production Manager.
In just a few years, several far-sighted entrepreneurs had seized the opportunity to invest in Acrobatica: a company with an innovative business and constantly growing demand throughout Italy.

2018-2019

Finance

EdiliziAcrobatica's growth led to its listing on Borsa Italiana's AIM market (now Euronext Growth Milan) in November 2018, followed by a listing on Euronext Growth Paris. These milestones marked the start of a new phase of development and international expansion.

2019-2023

Internationalisation

International expansion began in 2019 with the opening of the first operating area in France, in Perpignan, followed by further locations across the Midi. The Group then entered the Spanish market with its first office in Barcelona, and became operational in the Principality of Monaco in 2022 through an agreement with ENGECO. In 2023, Acrobatica also reached the Arab world by taking a 51% stake in the ENIGMA fund, further widening its international footprint.

2020-2023

Diversification and sustainability

In 2020, the Group embarked on a new path of diversification. During the pandemic, it launched its own app, designed to let condominium meetings take place remotely, along with a Multiservizi division focused on sanitization and cleaning. In 2021, it created Acrobatica Energy, its first subsidiary, operating in renewable energy. 2022 saw the launch of Restaurica, dedicated to the restoration of historic monuments, and Eolica, specializing in the cleaning and maintenance of wind farms. Over the same period, the Group built up its training offering through Acrobatica Academy, Prosperia, WallManW Academy and Sales Academy, with programs for its own people, its clients and the wider market.

Sustainability took shape in parallel. In 2020, the Group began integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors into its business model, approving an ESG Policy and setting up an ESG Committee. In 2021, it joined the UN Global Compact and launched several environmental and governance initiatives. Around the same time, it published its first Sustainability Report and received an ESG Risk Rating of 11.8 from Morningstar Sustainalytics, placing it among the lowest-risk companies in the construction sector.

2024

New Horizons

In 2024, thirty years after EdiliziAcrobatica was founded, diversification continued. Smartlyving was born, focused on building energy efficiency and smart buildings. Together with Etica nel Sole, the Group also developed Voltica Industrial, a business line dedicated to industrial solar power that complements Voltica, already active in residential solar. The year closed with the acquisition of an 80% stake in Verticaline S.r.l., a company specializing in rope-access construction, maintenance and renovation in the Veneto region, further strengthening the Group's presence in northeastern Italy.

2025

New Markets, an Evolving Group

In 2025, the Group continued to grow and expand its footprint. In January, the acquisition of 80% of Verticaline S.r.l. was completed, consolidating Acrobatica's position in the North-East of Italy. International expansion also went on: in June, the Group began operations in Luxembourg, a new strategic base for growth in Central Europe, and in September it opened its first office in Paris, reinforcing its presence in France.

At the same time, the Group kept broadening its offering, consolidating Smartlyving and Acrobatica Energy and developing Voltica Industrial, its industrial solar division.
