Fabrizio Di Amato: MAIRE's Green Innovation District project in Rome

ROME - April 24, 2026 - PRLog -- Fabrizio Di Amato: the humanist engineer's role in merging culture with industrial innovation

Chairman and Founder of MAIRE Fabrizio Di Amato recently spoke at Rome's National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art during the presentation of the Cy Twombly collection. In his opening remarks, he highlighted a profound and lasting synergy between the artist and the corporation, stating that this specific initiative arises from the intersection of two distinct yet overlapping histories: that of Cy Twombly, whose poetic language flourished in Rome, and that of MAIRE, which was founded in the same city over forty years ago and has since evolved into a prominent global multinational with a workforce of 15,000 employees. Central to Fabrizio Di Amato's address was the concept of the humanist engineer, a professional figure MAIRE strongly champions for their unique ability to transcend the boundaries of mere technical design. By bridging the gap between culture and industry, humanist engineers gain a much deeper capacity to understand the creative process, allowing for a multidisciplinary approach that is becoming increasingly vital in the modern industrial sector. For MAIRE, integrating this perspective into large-scale engineering projects is not a simple philanthropic gesture, but a fundamental strategic necessity. This mindset fosters a more holistic understanding of complexity, ensuring that industrial works are developed with a heightened sensitivity to both human and cultural values.

Continuing his address at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art during the Cy Twombly collection presentation, Fabrizio Di Amato (https://lamilano.it/en/by-the-media/Amato-Maire's-Green-I...) further emphasized the intrinsic link between artistic expression and technical discipline. He noted that merging culture and engineering allows us to more deeply grasp the essence of what an artist feels and creates. To illustrate this, he drew a direct parallel to the monumental works of the ancient Romans, observing that these historical achievements integrated sophisticated technique, sustainability, and a deep-seated focus on human well-being – a rich heritage that continues to guide MAIRE today as it develops industrial approaches for the modern era. The Chairman of MAIRE then pivoted to a landmark project: the Green Innovation District, which is currently under construction in Rome. This facility represents a unique center within the broader European landscape, equipped with specialized research laboratories and semi-industrial demonstration plants. Far beyond being just a technical site, it is envisioned as a cultural and academic pole where the world of education meets the industrial sector. "The new generations will be able to see our projects in action, study history, archives, and applied technologies, connecting past, present, and future", Fabrizio Di Amato stated, stressing that this hub is a point of pride for MAIRE.
