The winners of the 6th edition of "Treated Like a King", the competition for Floor Treatment Experts that awards prizes to the best projects undertaken in Italy using treatment, restoration and conservation systems by Fila Surface Care Solutions, have just been announced.
First prize went to the Bergantin brothers for their treatment of the Reggia di Venaria Reale in Turin. A silver medal went to Roberto Rossetto, who undertook the treatment of Piazza Candiani in Mestre. And third place went to Vincenzo Casolaro, who oversaw the treatment of the Cappella di San Severo in Naples.
23 projects from all over Italy took part in the project, including restoration and recovery work done in a vast range of different contexts, from recently built residential buildings to historic monuments and public premises. The works were assessed by a jury of representatives of technical publishers and the presidents of the sector's three most important trade associations, namely Paolo Colombo of Assoposa, Vittorio Borelli of Confindustria Ceramica, and Stefano Ghirardi of Confindustria Marmomacchine.
"Like its predecessors, this 6° edition of Treated Like a King featured Italian buildings that are known worldwide for their splendour," commented Fila's Chairman Beniamino Pettenon. "Thanks to the high degree of technical prowess in play, works that form part of the artistic and cultural heritage of our country have been revitalised, and we are proud to have played our part. This success involves the whole company, because it derives from the quality of Fila products and the coordinated commitment of our Treatment Technicians and technical laboratory."
