Donati S.p.A. has been active across Italy for over 35 years. At the outset, its core business was that of carrying out infrastructure work for the city of Rome. Over time, it extended its geographical reach to the whole of Italy and broadened its sector coverage to include new build work and the restoration of existing buildings, predominantly heritage ones.

Through the public tendering system it achieved the following heritage work. For the city or Rome, it consolidated and restored the Senatorial Palace (Palazzo Senatorio) the Tabularium and the Veiove Temple (Tabularium e Tempio di Veiove), as well as carrying out extra-ordinary maintenance work on the buildings of the Capitol (Colle Capitolino) and Piazza Montecitorio. In Turin, it restored part of the Carignano Palace (Palazzo Carignano) and in Asti, on behalf of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Environment, it restored the S. Anna monastery (complesso demaniale di S. Anna ad Asti) which was then used as the new headquarters for the State Archives. In Milan, it undertook structural and fresco conservation work on the S. Maria Assunta in Certosa di Garegnano church; in Florence it did the same for the Porta Romana art Institute (Istituto d’arte di Porta Romana) and in Gaeta it carried out structural adjustment work on the former convent of Saint Catherine which was turned into a military police academy (Scuola Nautica per la G.d.F. a Gaeta).

Donati S.p.A. holds NOS security clearance, which enabled it to carry out work on maximum security buildings such as the Stella Polare barracks (Caserma Stella Polare della G.d.F.) in Ostia, the Sani barracks (Caserma Sani della G.d.F.) in Trento for the Guardia di Finanza, the Information Point  (Centro di Accoglienza ed Informazione Parlamentare) and the Parliamentary Groups chamber (l’Aula dei Gruppi Parlamentari) for the Chamber of Deputies; as well as the juvenile court (Uffici Giudiziari Minorili) in Milan.

After the terrible earthquake which struck the Abruzzo region in 2009, Donati S.p.A. focused much of its activity on the reconstruction work in l’Aquila city. First, it designed and built 12 residential buildings on top of seismic proof plates (Progetto C.A.S.E. per la Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri – Dipartimento della Protezione Civile) which were to house families displaced by the earthquake. It then turned its focus to restoration work and thanks to the experience garnered during the reconstruction of the Noto cathedral (Cattedrale di Noto), which had been destroyed by a similar seismic event, it reconstructed the San Bernardino Basilica (Basilica di San Bernardino) that has recently been reopened to the public in all its splendor. Further restoration and seismic improvement work has been done on the Signorini-Corsi consortium (Aggregato Signorini-Corsi), Rivera castle (Castello Rivera) and its hamlet (Borgo).

In the civil works field, over the past decade, Donati S.p.A. has constructed a 90,000 cubic meter building for the new Political Sciences department of the Roma Tre university (Facoltà di Scienze Politiche dell’Università degli Studi Roma Tre). It has built a shopping center (Centro Commerciale) with a 10 theatre, 2,500 seat Multiplex cinema and a hotel in Fiano Romano (Hotel e Multisala Cinematografica); and for the Tor Vergata university in Rome (Campus per l’Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata)it constructed a 17 building, 54,000 sq.m student housing campus. Donati S.p.A. is currently undertaking the construction of a 700 unit social and private housing programme, plus a shopping center, in the Guidonia Montecelio municipality (Centro Residenziale Collina del Sole). In the civil works field it built the Alassio town football stadium (Stadio Comunale di Alassio) with a two storey underground car park comprising 551 enclosed parking spaces.

Donati S.p.A. has always had a strong presence in the infrastructure field. Over the years, it carried out enlargement work on a segment of Rome’s ring road (G.R.A.) and Tangenziale Est road, modernization work on the Sebina (S.S. Sebina Orientale Brescia-Iseo-Pisogne) and Pira-Onni (Tronco Stradale Pira-Onni) roads, the enlargement of Acqua Polesine near Rovigo, the adaptation of a portion of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway, the costruction of a tranche of the Frosinone-Ceprano highway, the consolidation of the riverfront road near Domodossola, and the adaption of the S.S.340 Regina road in Porlezza (Galleria Albogasio a Lugano).

Donati S.p.A. is currently engaged in the realization of strategic road and rail infrastructure work to improve the transport systems of the city of Rome specifically and the Lazio region generally. It was assigned via public tender work on the adaption of the Rome-Viterbo train line (linea ferroviaria Roma – Civita Castellana – Viterbo)  for ATAC S.p.A., the new Fiumicino exit of the Autostrada A12 Roma-Civitavecchia highway for the Lazio region, the design and build of a tranche of the SS.675 Umbro-Laziale road between the Cinelli and Monte Romano exits for ANAS S.p.A. (SS.675 Umbro-Laziale tra gli svincoli di Cinelli e Monte Romano) and finally the construction of the Rieti-Torano road (S.R. 578 Rieti-Torano – Strada Extraurbana a scorrimento veloce).

The company currently holds unlimited SOA certification in four categories (civil and industrial construction, restoration and renovation work, road works and underground work) for the design and build of public tender work and for private work. It works singly and in consortia partnerships with other national builders.
