As well as special structures for the construction of bridges.
Since 1996 he has been registered in the Register of Testers of the Lombardy Region in the Special Structures sector.
In 1997 he received the European Convention for Structural Steelwork [2] award for the structures of the elevated heliport of Lingotto in Turin. [3]
From 2006 to 2022 he was Professor with a position of excellence in the Master's Degree in Architecture-Construction at the IUAV of Venice. [4]
He was the main consultant of Gec Alsthom Sdem [5] for the construction and assembly of the deck of the bridge over the StoreBaelt in Denmark, which consists of two viaducts with spans of 194 m and a suspension bridge with a free span of 1624 m, which at the time of its construction represented the largest span built up to that time. [6]
