Venice, Italy – Maspero Elevatori was selected to provide the elevators and escalators that will serve the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, now being renovated through an agreement between luxury giant Louis Vuitton and the Benetton group to create a new commercial and cultural center on the Grand Canal. The new structure is designed to become a point of attraction and encounter for the city, involving both tourists and the inhabitants of Venice. The project to recover and restore the 16th-century building was awarded to Studio OMA of famed architect Rem Koolhaas. The technical proposal of Maspero Elevatori perfectly responds to the demands of the principal, with the utmost respect for the constraints necessary for a building of such historical importance.
