Portraits from the Open Fiber world. Men and women that work to make Italy ultra-fast; mayors and business owners ready to enable services for citizens and tourists

Open Fiber’s biggest asset is people. Different faces and skills, but all devoted to the same incredible project: creating the biggest ultra broadband infrastructure in Italy.

People with Open Fiber

When Open Fiber fibre optics arrives in a small municipality it enables the digital transformation for citizens, but also for institutions and business owners. With an FTTH connection, mayors and business owners can provide residents and tourists with an even better array of services: an “open ring” in continuous movement.

Luigi Cerioni, 63, Mayor of Cupramontana (AN) and President of the Province of Ancona: “Fibre is a huge development opportunity for our community. At the same time it represents a collective challenge: we all have to participate to take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of its benefits”.

Mattia Gemelli, 23, chairman of Rio town council, Elba (LI): “In the winter connections become difficult in Elba: fibre optics offers us the security of staying connected with the continent and the world at all times, a world that is increasingly accessible at the click of a button.”

Luca Leoni, 59, tourism, sport and public works councillor of Bellagio (Como): “Here, customers are traditionally high-end, generally of Anglo-Saxon extraction and very demanding. 80% of complaints regard the Wi-Fi network. We have tried everything, even satellite dishes, but demand for bandwidth continues to grow: a family with two children is often connected with 2 or 3 devices at the same time. When we were told that we were going to get fibre optics it was a real result for us”.

Franca Marconi, 66, owner of an optician store in Cupramontana (AN): “If a business doesn’t move with the times it has no future. Nowadays, we can’t do without technology. I am also the owner of a bed & breakfast in the town and if I couldn’t offer Wi-Fi I’m not sure if I would have any guests”.

Costabile Spinelli, 53, Mayor of Castellabate (SA): “The arrival of ultra broadband will help this community to keep growing. Castellabate is one of the most beautiful towns in Italy: thanks to fibre optics we are delighted to be able to offer tourists even better services”.

Lucio Marziale, 56, culture councillor of Isola del Liri (FR) with special focus on the smart city: “The arrival of fibre optics enables us to keep pace with the times. Ultra broadband makes it possible to bridge the gap separating Italy from the rest of the world.” Mattia Gemelli, 23, chairman of Rio town council, Elba (LI): “In the winter connections become difficult in Elba: fibre optics offers us the security of staying connected with the continent and the world at all times, a world that is increasingly accessible at the click of a button.”

Mauro Guerra, 45, Mayor of San Leo since 2009: “For us the arrival of ultra broadband is a real landmark moment: it means the end of the digital divide, in a town where the Wi-Fi network is very weak and doesn’t work when the weather is bad. It was really exciting when Open Fiber’s fibre optics first arrived here”.
