The project, which aims to promote the artistic heritage of the area in which the Camozzi Group has built its success story, was immediately supported by the Group.

The conservation of the statue, recommended by the Fondazione Brescia Musei (Brescia Museums Foundation) and the Municipality of Brescia, began in July 2018 with the transfer of the imposing bronze statue to the Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Workshop of semi-precious stones) in Florence.

The goddess carved in bronze in Roman times is inspired by a Hellenistic model from the 3rd century BC. The Vittoria Alata is one of the symbols of the Museum of Santa Giulia of Brescia, the ancient Brixia, most probably given to the city in 69 AD by the emperor Vespasian after the battle of Betriacum.

In addition to investigating the origins of the work, an interdisciplinary team of experts is strengthening the internal structure, reinforcing the wings and arms and removing encrustations and sediments. In February 2020, at the end of the work, the great archaeological bronze will no longer be in Santa Giulia, but in its place of origin, in the right-side cell of the Capitolium, on a special anti-seismic base.

Lodovico Camozzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Camozzi Group, commented:

"We are very proud to have taken part in the restoration of the Vittoria Alata and we are always ready to give back to the territory what we have received, to leave a legacy for future generations."

The Camozzi Group supports the mission of the Fondazione Brescia Musei and its ambitious challenge of making the splendid jewels of the Brescia area accessible to everyone, which is important to invest in to promote a culture based on knowledge and respect for the community's resources.

The operatic event, in the charming courtyard of Palazzo Zamara, was sponsored by Camozzi Automation and the Lanfranchi company.

Under the musical direction of Giuseppe Orizio and directed by Massimo Venturelli, the evening featured the Bolognese soprano Scilla Cristiano, the tenor from Palazzolo sull'Oglio Alessandro Viola, the baritone from Bergamo Marzio Giossi and the Colli Morenici orchestra.

Proceeds from the charity event (free admission, but donation recommended) was given to the Amici di Padre Riccardo association to finance the Itololo hospital, on the mission in Tanzania where the missionary Riccardo Caffi has been operating for about twenty years.

In 2011 the association committed itself to the project and built the Paediatric Department with the help of the Palazzolo Italian Alpine troopers group. The structure now serves 47 villages with 116,000 inhabitants.

In 2017, a collaboration with Pale Plus of Arezzo allowed them to send a gynaecologist and a pulmonologist to Tanzania to train health personnel. The objectives for the next two years are the development of the analysis laboratory and the implementation of the dialysis department.

The Camozzi Open is one of the most important international tennis tournaments in the Italian calendar. At the Brescia wheelchair tennis Futures, scheduled from June 13th to 16th, champions from 14 different nations will compete on the Tennis Forza e Costanza courts (via Signorini).

The international wheelchair tennis event will see the participation of two athletes from the United States, which is where wheelchair tennis was born in the 1970s.

In the men's singles, ten Top 100s will compete against each other, including Tratter from Alto Adige, Cippo from Abruzzo, Carlos Anker from Holland, Tadeusz Kruszelnicki, Martin Legner and Roby De Bie.

In the women's singles there are nine athletes in the Top 100, including three Italians. One of the favourites is the Sardinian athlete Marianna Lauro, who won the previous edition.

The women's finals and the Quad Singles final are scheduled for Saturday 15th June and the men's finals for Sunday morning on the 16th.

Four days of entertainment, with free admission, in memory of Attilio Camozzi, a fundamental figure in the growth and development of Active Sport projects.

The project - financed by the Lombardy Region within the Research and Innovation Agreements framework - relies on various technological application keys in various operational contexts:

• Smart components that self-diagnose their health
• Smart machines that generate data to analyse their status, predict future behaviours and regulate themselves
• Smart devices that facilitate human-machine interaction
• Smart factories equipped with monitoring and tracking system (connected factory)

Partners

The project leader is Cosberg, the partners involved are: Camozzi Automation (Smart component group); Politecnico di Milano (Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering and Department of Management Engineering); University of Brescia and Bergamo; CNR-STIIMA (Institute of Industrial Systems and Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing) and other leading companies for innovation.

Smart4CPPS shares the mission with the partners to:

• create a regional ecosystem of excellence that is a concrete expression of the Smart Factory concept
• transform Lombardy into a hub for digitisation processes for Small and Medium Enterprises.

The sectors involved are the manufacture of metal products - which covers 17% of regional manufacturing - the manufacture of plants and equipment - about 4% of regional VA - and the textile industry.

Smart4CPPs was launched in March 2017 and will end in September 2020.

The single Camozzi Automation distribution centre for Italy and Europe operates from Palazzolo Sull'Oglio (Brescia) in Via Sant'Alberto 10. Production coming from the two production plants of Lumezzane and Polpenazze also flow into the new logistics hub. Near the main freight forwarders, the A4 motorway and the Orio al Serio airport, the Hub provides a direct, widespread, rapid, punctual and efficient supply service. There are also numerous advantages for the network of our distributors who can guarantee their customers quick deliveries.

Lodovico Camozzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Camozzi Group, commented during the inauguration:

"This strategic investment, worth around €9 million, aims to make the logistics sector a competitive advantage, thanks to more efficient use of space and rationalisation of the internal layout, with positive repercussions in terms of employment. It will also allow us to provide our customers with a direct, widespread, rapid, punctual and efficient supply service ".

Intelligent automatic systems

The system operates in a single shift, as it is managed by the previous warehouses with the use of triple shifts, to respond flexibly to today's market logic, which is increasingly based on streamlined production in small lots and on parcel shipments.

The distinctive feature is the innovative Cuby system by SSI Schaefer, the first installation in Italy, powered by Artificial Intelligence Models. This technology involves the use of as many shuttles as there are shelf levels, offering a handling capacity 3-4 times higher than the traditional single SRM machine.

The heart of the system is the WMS warehouse management software - integrated with the SAP company ERP - which guides the operators in promptly processing orders, and minimising the risk of error.
