Queste assenze hanno colpito duramente gli equilibri del Basket Golfo, che ha sofferto la pressione avversaria commettendo ben 23 palle perse. Per sopperire alle mancanze nel quintetto titolare, il coach ha lanciato dal primo minuto Menconi e Ferraresi. Menconi ha provato a trascinare i compagni segnando tre triple nei primi due quarti, ma il resto della squadra ha faticato a trovare canestri contro la miglior difesa del campionato.

Dall’altra parte del campo, Imola ha trovato in Moffa il sostituto ideale di Sanguinetti: con i suoi 20 punti è stato l’uomo chiave del match. Il Basket Golfo è riuscito a restare agganciato alla partita fino all’inizio del secondo quarto, arrivando sul meno 3, ma poi ha visto sfuggire gli avversari. Il primo tempo si è concluso sul 42 a 28 per i locali.

Nel terzo quarto il divario tra le due formazioni è aumentato ulteriormente, chiudendo di fatto ogni discorso sulla vittoria finale. Con questo risultato, il Basket Golfo perde la speranza di chiudere tra le prime dieci e diventa matematicamente dodicesimo in classifica.

Il verdetto obbliga ora la squadra di Piombino ad affrontare i play-in giocando in trasferta. Nelle prossime ore verrà stabilito chi sarà l’avversaria da sfidare nel prossimo turno della post-season.

I militari sono riusciti a ricostruire i fatti sulla scorta delle indagini scaturite a seguito delle denunce presentate da due diverse vittime del furto del proprio portafogli, avvenuti in contesti e momenti differenti.

Poco dopo essersi accorti dell’ammanco ma prima di procedere al blocco delle carte di pagamento che vi erano contenute, hanno ricevuto sul cellulare le notifiche di alcuni pagamenti, di importo sufficientemente contenuto da essere state autorizzate senza l’uso del pin, effettuati in varie tabaccherie ed esercizi commerciali della zona, per un danno complessivo di circa 150 euro.

I carabinieri sono partiti dall’acquisizione dei filmati delle telecamere presenti nei luoghi dei furti e nei luoghi degli illeciti utilizzi individuando, un uomo che sono riusciti ad identificare grazie alla conoscenza del territorio. Il 50enne, già gravato da altri precedenti di polizia, è stato denunciato in stato di libertà all’autorità giudiziaria di Livorno per indebito utilizzo di strumenti di pagamento e ricettazione.

NEW DELHI, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shahi Exports, one of India’s largest apparel manufacturers and exporters, has partnered with US-based Innovo Fiber LLC to scale the Fibre52® cotton pretreatment technology across its integrated textile operations. This initiative at Shahi’s knits processing facility marks the largest industrial-scale deployment of the technology globally and a significant step forward inlower-impact cotton processing at scale. 

Together, the partnership brings Fibre52®’s patented biochemistry platform with Shahi’s manufacturing scale to advance more resource-efficient cotton processing within large-scale textile production. 

Cotton pretreatment is one of the most resource-intensive stages in textile manufacturing. Fibre52® introduces a drop-in, low-temperature pretreatment system that uses ZDHC MRSL v3.1 and OEKO-TEX®-approved chemistries. The process can preserve the natural wax and softness of cotton fiber while eliminating the use of caustic soda and reducing resource intensity compared to conventional pretreatment. 

Since early 2024, Fibre52®’s trials at Shahi progressed through a structured validation process of 5MT, 20MT, and, more recently, 100MT fabric trials. The results demonstrated reductions of approximately 25% in water consumption and 49% in steam consumption compared to conventional pretreatment systems. 

As part of the scale-up roadmap, Shahi plans to transition approximately 25% of its knit processing capacity to the Fibre52® pretreatment system, representing close to 3,000 tons per annum. This marks the shift from controlled trials to industrial adoption within a large, vertically integrated manufacturing environment. 

Shahi and Fibre52® are advancing this collaboration as a long-term innovation platform. The focus is on expanding applications, deepening integration across product categories, and reinforcing scalable pathways for lower-impact textile manufacturing. 

Laura Thornquist, President of Innovo Fiber, Fibre52®’s parent company, said:”What makes this partnership unique is not just the technology, but the alignment of vision. Shahi and Fibre52® came together with a shared commitment to rethinking cotton processing at scale. When innovation capability and manufacturing discipline work in sync, real transformation becomes possible.” 

Anant Ahuja, Director of ESG & Sustainability, Shahi Exports, said:”This collaboration reflects the value of close partnership. The Fibre52® team brought a different approach, and Shahi focused on how it could work within our production environment. Together, this has progressed from early validation to measurable production outcomes. It is encouraging to see how sustainability and performance can come together at an industrial scale.”

PISA – In occasione della Settimana mondiale delle vaccinazioni lanciata dall’Oms, l’Azienda Usl Toscana nord ovest e l’università di Pisa uniscono le forze per promuovere la profilassi come scudo per la salute pubblica. Per agevolare la cittadinanza, le istituzioni hanno organizzato una rete di aperture straordinarie dei centri vaccinali sul territorio: sarà possibile accedere liberamente e senza appuntamento, portando con sé solo documento d’identità e tessera sanitaria.

L’iniziativa vedrà l’impiego sul campo dei medici in formazione della Scuola di Specializzazione in Igiene e Medicina Preventiva dell’Ateneo. Un coinvolgimento che riflette la visione della prorettrice Enza Pellecchia: “La salute e il benessere non sono servizi accessori, ma parte integrante dell’esperienza universitaria”. Serve infatti un cambio di passo, come evidenziato dalla professoressa Caterina Rizzo, per passare a “una medicina proattiva e fondata sulla prevenzione”. Un concetto ribadito dal direttore del Dipartimento della prevenzione Asl, Luca Carneglia, che definisce il vaccino un “gesto di responsabilità individuale” essenziale per fare argine contro le malattie infettive e tutelare i soggetti fragili.

REDAZIONE

Il progetto punta a valorizzare il talento emergente attraverso una selezione rigorosa che culminerà nell’esposizione finale. Partecipare al Premio Rotonda significa entrare a far parte di una tradizione nata nel 1953, portando la propria visione artistica all’interno della pineta della Rotonda d’Ardenza, luogo simbolo della cultura labronica.

Un elemento centrale del bando riguarda l’autenticità del processo creativo: la Fondazione d’Arte Trossi-Uberti ha stabilito che non saranno ammesse opere realizzate con l’ausilio di intelligenza artificiale. Per questa edizione del Premio Rotonda, l’attenzione è tutta rivolta all’intuizione umana e alla capacità degli studenti di esplorare temi che vadano al di là del convenzionale.

Le immagini delle 20 opere migliori verranno inserite in una mostra virtuale permanente, ma il premio più ambito riguarda i 5 finalisti. Questi ultimi avranno l’opportunità di esporre gratuitamente le proprie creazioni durante la manifestazione di agosto, partecipando ufficialmente alla corsa per i riconoscimenti del Premio Rotonda.

Gli studenti maggiorenni e i collettivi dei licei artistici regionali hanno tempo fino alla mezzanotte del 30 giugno per inviare le proprie candidature via mail. Ogni proposta deve essere accompagnata da un testo descrittivo dell’opera. Tutte le informazioni e i moduli di adesione sono reperibili sul sito ufficiale della Fondazione d’Arte Trossi-Uberti.

Questa iniziativa non solo promuove l’arte contemporanea tra i più giovani, ma consolida il legame tra le istituzioni formative e il mondo delle esposizioni professionali. Il Premio Rotonda si conferma così un evento dinamico, capace di rinnovarsi puntando sull’eccellenza e sulla freschezza delle accademie e delle scuole d’arte toscane.

Milano, 21 Aprile 2026. Immaginate un tramonto di fine giugno, dove l’aria vibra di calda attesa e la luce accarezza il vostro abito da cerimonia, la silhouette esaltata dall’impalpabile fluidità del tessuto, lo scollo, profondo, impreziosito da scultorei fiori in 3D e leggere piume danzanti. 

Riuscite a vederlo? Ecco, bene, benvenute nell’estate 2026 allora!  

Quest’anno, infatti, l’universo delle nozze e degli eventi di gala della bella stagione si risveglia come un giardino in piena fioritura sartoriale. L’abito da cerimonia estivo finalmente muta pelle, smettendo i panni della semplice uniforme imposta dal galateo per elevarsi a magnifica tela su cui dipingere la propria identità. Un’ode vibrante a un massimalismo raffinato dove i fiori non si accontentano più di sbocciare sulle stampe (ma esplodono in tre dimensioni sulle scollature) e le piume danzano a ogni passo, come sussurri nel vento. È un risveglio estetico in cui le regole non vengono abolite, ma elegantemente aggirate con un sorriso complice. 

Le passerelle internazionali hanno tracciato la rotta, offrendo capolavori che spaziano dalla geometria affilata di un cyber-chic cittadino fino al romanticismo sussurrato degli chiffon fluttuanti. In questo caleidoscopio di eccellenze che abbiamo preparato per voi – in cui uniamo il gotha internazionale ai pilastri intramontabili del Made in Italy – cercheremo insieme gli
abiti estivi perfetti per una cerimonia
, esplorando le offerte di brand come
Elisabetta Franchi
, magistrale nel tradurre il dinamismo metropolitano in una femminilità fluida vitale e consapevole, Dolce & Gabbana, audace nei suoi contrasti seducenti, Zimmerman, impareggiabile nella scelta dei colori, e tantissimi altri. 

Anzi, cominciamo subito: ecco, secondo adnkronos, i dieci protagonisti dell’estate 2026. 

Entrare nell’atelier virtuale delle tendenze estive significa intraprendere un viaggio sensoriale tra tessuti che accarezzano la pelle come onde leggere e tagli che ridisegnano la postura del corpo. Questa classifica non è un semplice elenco didascalico, ma una bussola per orientarsi nel mare dorato del nuovo lusso. Ogni brand rappresenta un microcosmo stilistico con una missione precisissima: far sì che chi lo indossa non risulti solo impeccabile, ma assolutamente magnetica. 

In definitiva, la vibrante stagione calda del 2026 ci sussurra una verità profonda e ineludibile: la moda, nelle sue espressioni più alte, non è mai pura frivolezza, ma un linguaggio denso di significato. Scegliere quale abito da cerimonia indossare in un giorno di giubilo significa, di fatto, prendere la penna in mano e scrivere la propria personalissima battuta all’interno della sceneggiatura di un evento corale. 

L’abito da cerimonia perfetto, lungi dall’essere una rigida gabbia di convenzioni sociali o un mero capriccio passeggero, si rivela essere una preziosa seconda pelle; uno specchio cristallino capace di riflettere e proiettare all’esterno la nostra più intima e luminosa architettura interiore. In questo vertiginoso gioco di riflessi, sospeso tra artigianato millenario e innovazione d’avanguardia, l’alta sartoria compie il suo incantesimo più grande: ci solleva da terra, ci permette di abitare lo spazio con poetica grazia, e trasforma la semplice presenza fisica in una dichiarazione di stile scolpita, indimenticabile e senza tempo.

L’iniziativa segna l’avvio di una strategia integrata che mira a trasformare l’antico insediamento in un polo culturale di riferimento per l’intero territorio. L’obiettivo centrale è la rigenerazione del sito di Vada Volaterrana, garantendo una manutenzione costante e una pianificazione delle attività che ne consenta la fruizione durante tutto l’anno.

Nel corso dell’evento saranno illustrate le linee guida per le attività di scavo e ricerca previste per la prossima stagione estiva. Al centro del dibattito ci sarà il contributo scientifico dell’Università degli Studi di Bari, i cui esperti collaboreranno attivamente per applicare nuove metodologie di conservazione e studio sui resti romani presenti nel sito.

All’incontro interverranno Carolina Megale, direttrice scientifica del Museo Civico Archeologico di Rosignano Marittimo, e Simona Repole, dirigente del Comune di Rosignano Marittimo. Insieme a loro, i docenti Roberto Goffredo e Giorgia Dato approfondiranno le potenzialità della ricerca accademica applicata alla valorizzazione dei beni culturali locali di Vada Volaterrana.

Il progetto punta a creare un modello di gestione che integri ricerca archeologica e sviluppo turistico sostenibile. Questo appuntamento rappresenta un momento fondamentale per definire le tappe del recupero e della messa in sicurezza delle strutture antiche. L’intera comunità è invitata a scoprire i dettagli di un intervento che promette di restituire a Vada Volaterrana il ruolo centrale che merita nel panorama storico e archeologico regionale.

Un elemento che solleva perplessità sul piano dell’opportunità, più che su quello formale. In contesti pubblici così delicati, infatti, la distinzione tra chi valuta e chi viene valutato dovrebbe risultare cristallina, non solo per garantire correttezza sostanziale, ma anche per evitare qualsiasi ombra sul piano della percezione esterna.

La procedura, già finita al centro di attenzione politica e istituzionale, è ora oggetto di un approfondimento ministeriale richiesto nelle scorse settimane. L’iniziativa punta a fare chiarezza su modalità e criteri adottati, in un clima che si è progressivamente appesantito tra richiami alla trasparenza e richieste di verifica.

Dal canto suo, la governance dell’Autorità portuale ha ribadito la piena disponibilità a fornire tutti gli elementi utili, sottolineando il rispetto delle procedure previste. Tuttavia, resta aperta una questione di fondo: in processi così rilevanti per il futuro di un’infrastruttura strategica, è sufficiente essere formalmente in regola o è necessario anche evitare situazioni potenzialmente ambigue?

Il porto di Livorno, nodo cruciale per traffici e sviluppo economico, meriterebbe probabilmente un percorso decisionale capace di mettere al riparo da qualsiasi dubbio, anche solo percettivo. Perché, in questi casi, la fiducia si costruisce tanto sulle regole quanto sulla loro limpida applicazione.

MILAN, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kohler, in partnership with Richard Christiansen, founder of Flamingo Estate, unveils The Flamingo Estate Bathhouse by Kohler at Milan Design Week 2026. The immersive, multi-sensory installation invites visitors into an elemental world where architecture, landscape, and serenity are conceived as a single, interdependent experience, creating a space for contemplation and renewal. 

Set within the courtyard of the Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea (Via Palestro, 14), the installation is anchored by the Bathhouse, a bold brutalist structure that appears to emerge organically from a meadow of seven species of untamed wildflowers, dissolving the boundary between built form and living ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from the bathhouse at Flamingo Estate in California, the 247-square-foot monolithic structure draws on a palette of weathered metals and elemental surfaces. Clad in intonachino plaster that evokes the mineral texture and weight of concrete, the Bathhouse features monumental stained-glass windows by Milan-based artisan Samuele Dossena, filtering light across terracotta-toned surfaces, while Flamingo Estate candles line the walls, enhancing a quiet, calming atmosphere. 

“The Bathhouse is a meditation on ritual, nature, and the quiet power of materials,” said Richard Christiansen, Founder of Flamingo Estate. “We imagined a place where wildflowers, water, and light come together to create a sensory experience that reconnects us to the rhythms of the earth. Partnering with Kohler allowed us to bring this vision to life with an extraordinary level of craft, creating a space that invites people to slow down, reflect, and re-engage with the natural world.” 

Entering the Bathhouse, visitors encounter Reverie, a new expression of Kohler’s iconic freestanding enameled cast iron bath, reimagined with a copper shroud that serves as the focal point of the space. The shroud wraps the cast iron bath, which is made with at least 80% recycled materials, underscoring a legacy of sustainable craftsmanship designed to endure. This marks the first time Kohler has used copper as a defining material in bath design, introducing a new dimension to the category. 

“Design and the creative process are always central to Kohler, shaping our tradition and propelling our progress,” said David Kohler, Chair and CEO of Kohler Co. “We see design as a bridge between heritage and innovation, continually evolving through material exploration and craft. We are delighted to partner with Richard Christiansen and Flamingo Estate during Milan Design Week to continue to inspire through art and design.” 

Nestled throughout the garden are four one-of-a-kind pollinator baths, conceived by Christiansen designed by Kohler and cast in its historic Wisconsin foundry. These sculptural vessels serve as sanctuaries for birds, bees, and other pollinating species, extending the installation narrative of reciprocity between human craft and the natural world. 

“For the Flamingo Estate Bathhouse, we wanted to explore the relationship between architecture and ecology, how design can create moments of care not just for people, but for the natural world around us,” said Michael Seum, VP of Global Design at Kohler Co. “The pollinator baths translate this idea into sculptural form, drawing from Brutalist principles on the exterior while softening into organic, nature-informed surfaces within. It’s a reflection of our belief that design should hold space for both human ritual and environmental stewardship.” 

The Flamingo Estate Bathhouse by Kohler elevates bathing into a restorative experience and a place of ritual and retreat, one that slows the body, quiets the mind, and heightens awareness of light, water, and material. Through its integration of architecture, craft, and ecology, the installation reflects a shared vision between Kohler and Flamingo Estate: that enduring wellness emerges through a deeper connection to nature. 

The candles in the Bathhouse were created by Flamingo Estate specifically for the installation. The Flamingo Estate Pollinator Candle is complemented by the Pollinator Bath Soap Brick. The scent was inspired by a walk through Milan city streets. Wild Linden Blossom is an olfactory invitation to walk through Milan in bloom. At the threshold of Summer, the iconic Tiglio Tree blossoms at once — perfuming entire boulevards with a sublime, honeyed warmth authentic to Milan. From sunlit markets, Bergamot pulses with the green, sparkling brightness of its rind, as sweet pollen dusts the air. Both the candle and soap brick are available for purchase on FlamingoEstate.com. 

Unveiled during FuoriSalone at the Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, Via Palestro 14, 20121 Milan, Italy, the installation is open to the public from Tuesday, April 21 through Sunday, April 26. Hours are as follows: Tuesday, 12:00–7:00 PM; Wednesday, 12:00–4:00 PM and 7:00–10:00 PM; Thursday through Saturday, 12:00–10:00 PM; and Sunday, 12:00–6:00 PM.

About Flamingo EstateSettled in the 1940s high atop the hills of Los Angeles, Flamingo Estate throughout its history has been a hedonistic enclave of sun-worship, folk mythologies, and psychedelic remedies — a secret haven for wild alchemy in the City of Angels. Now, Flamingo Estate is the home of Richard Christiansen, and, in the spirit of its origins, a radical celebration of pleasure from the garden. We carefully cultivate Mother Nature’s wildest, most precious gifts, at a time when we need them most. Championing the idea that Mother Nature is the last great luxury house, and sourcing rare ingredients from over 125 farms and collaborators. Instead of commodity ingredients, our goal is to get as close to the raw, natural material as possible, and to be able to trace each ingredient back to the farmer who planted it. Creating nutrient-dense rituals for daily pleasure, with Mother Nature as the guide.

Acquisition connects communications, collaboration, intelligent automation, and physical workplace services in one employee hub 

AUSTIN, Texas, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LumApps, the leading connected AI employee hub, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Comeen, the workplace experience platform specializing in space management, digital signage and visitor services. 

This acquisition is a pivotal step in LumApps’ vision to create a platform where work comes together—bringing communication, knowledge and workflows and now physical workplace services into a single, unified AI-powered experience. 

The transaction marks a natural evolution of a long-standing partnership, reflecting a broader strategy where ecosystem collaborations drive core platform innovation. By bridging the gap between digital and physical environments, LumApps is embedding workplace management directly into the daily flow of work. Organizations will benefit from higher adoption and measurable improvements in space utilization, operational efficiency, and employee experience. 

According to LumApps’ Future of Work Index, nearly 70% of senior leaders say employee engagement is a growing priority. Yet workplace services remain fragmented across multiple applications. LumApps addresses this by unifying employee experience and workplace experience in one platform—where AI agents connect and automate interactions across both digital and physical environments.  

The combined platform supports: 

“Work doesn’t happen in one place or one system—it happens across tools, teams, and environments,” said Sébastien Ricard, CEO of LumApps. “With Comeen, we’re extending our AI Agent Hub into the physical workplace, bringing everything employees need into one platform—where work truly comes together across digital and physical environments. With enterprise digital signage, we can now extend that experience even further, reaching employees wherever they work.” 

“When we invested in LumApps, we saw a platform redefining the digital workplace,” said David Nicault, Partner and Head of Technology Investing at Bridgepoint, “With the addition of Beekeeper, LumApps expanded to serve both frontline and desk-based employees. With Comeen, LumApps now takes the next step—activating its AI agent strategy with deep workplace capabilities, unlocking the full value of AI across the digital and physical workplace. 

“The market has long separated digital employee experience from workplace experience, creating fragmented systems and underused spaces,” said Ben Gauthier, CEO of Comeen. “By bringing them together through AI-driven interactions, we’re turning the employee hub into the operational brain of the workplace — where engagement, space, and services work as one system.” 

The transaction is expected to complete in May 2026. 

LumApps was advised by Squire Patton Boggs, led by Anthony Guillaume (Partner M&A / PE) and Victor Dransard (Associate M&A / PE). Comeen was advised by Gide Loyrette Nouel, led by Louis Oudot de Dainville (Parner), counsels Donald Davy and Charles Ghuysen, and associates Manon Garoui and Joseph Leveque. 

Integration of Comeen capabilities into the LumApps platform is available immediately, as they were already part of our Marketplace, with new workplace experience features rolling out throughout 2026. To learn more, visit LumApps.com. Both companies will be at Google Next April 22-24 in Las Vegas. 

About LumAppsLumApps is the AI Employee Hub where work comes together — connecting people, tools, information, and communication across the entire employee experience, from the frontline to HQ. Designed around how people actually work, LumApps reduces digital friction by bringing communication, productivity tools, learning, and workflows into one intelligent platform. 

Integrating with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, LumApps helps employees find information faster and take action more easily, with AI agents connected across enterprise systems. With over 10 million users and customers like Zapier and Genuine Parts Company, LumApps helps organizations operate with greater clarity and connection across their workforce.

Roma, 20 aprile 2026 — Aste Florio S.R.L. annuncia il lancio ufficiale della piattaforma di aste giudiziarie online

asteflorio.it
, un portale digitale progettato per aggregare e rendere facilmente consultabili tutte le aste immobiliari giudiziarie presenti sul territorio italiano. 

Operativa da circa 60 giorni, la piattaforma indicizza già oltre 20.000 immobili attivi, distribuiti su tutte le 20 regioni italiane, coinvolgendo tutte le province e i 140 tribunali del Paese. Il controvalore complessivo supera i 2,9 miliardi di euro, confermando la rilevanza del mercato di riferimento. 

Il comparto delle aste giudiziarie immobiliari in Italia genera ogni anno oltre 80.000 procedure, ma continua a essere caratterizzato da una forte dispersione delle informazioni. 

Dati e documentazione risultano distribuiti tra portali istituzionali, siti dei tribunali e pubblicazioni non uniformi. Questo scenario rende complesso l’accesso soprattutto per chi si avvicina per la prima volta. 

«Chi si approccia alle aste giudiziarie si trova spesso davanti a un ecosistema informativo frammentato e poco intuitivo», spiega il CEO Paolo Florio. «Documenti tecnici complessi, linguaggio giuridico e informazioni distribuite su più fonti rappresentano una barriera reale all’ingresso». 

La piattaforma di aste giudiziarie online sviluppata da Aste Florio introduce un approccio orientato alla semplificazione e alla leggibilità dei dati. 

Ogni immobile viene analizzato e rielaborato, combinando tecnologia e competenza professionale, con l’obiettivo di rendere immediatamente comprensibili le informazioni più rilevanti. 

Le schede includono: 

Particolare attenzione è dedicata alla trasparenza economica: il sistema evidenzia il potenziale risparmio rispetto al valore di mercato, che può arrivare fino al 60%, calcolato sulla base della stima peritale. 

Uno degli elementi distintivi di questa piattaforma di aste giudiziarie online riguarda le funzionalità di ricerca, tra le principali: 

Ricerca geografica multilivello
 

È possibile filtrare gli immobili per regione, provincia, comune e — nelle principali città — anche per quartiere o zona specifica. 

Disegno manuale dell’area
 

L’utente può tracciare direttamente sulla mappa un’area personalizzata, visualizzando esclusivamente gli immobili presenti all’interno del perimetro selezionato. 

Mappa interattiva con clustering
 

Gli immobili sono rappresentati tramite una mappa dinamica con raggruppamento intelligente dei risultati, utile per una visione d’insieme immediata. 

Filtri combinabili
 

Tipologia, prezzo, superficie, data d’asta e tribunale possono essere combinati per ottenere risultati mirati e aggiornati in tempo reale. 

La piattaforma integra funzionalità pensate per chi monitora il mercato in modo continuativo. 

Attraverso un account gratuito è possibile: 

«Il mercato delle aste è estremamente dinamico», sottolinea Paolo Florio. «Le opportunità più interessanti vengono assorbite rapidamente: disporre di un sistema di monitoraggio automatico rappresenta un vantaggio concreto». 

Accanto alla componente digitale, Aste Florio mantiene un presidio territoriale strutturato, con oltre 60 uffici operativi in Italia e un team di professionisti specializzati. 

Il servizio copre l’intero processo: 

Il modello economico adottato è basato su success fee, con compenso dovuto esclusivamente in caso di aggiudicazione. 

Il portale integra una sezione editoriale dedicata alla divulgazione, con: 

«La trasparenza informativa è un elemento centrale», evidenzia Paolo Florio. «L’obiettivo è rendere comprensibile un settore spesso percepito come complesso, ampliando la platea di utenti consapevoli». 

Il sito è già disponibile all’indirizzo
https://asteflorio.it
, accessibile da desktop e dispositivi mobili, con interfaccia ottimizzata per la consultazione in mobilità. 

La piattaforma è disponibile in lingua italiana e inglese, per rispondere anche alla domanda crescente di investitori internazionali. 

Aste Florio S.R.L. è una società di consulenza specializzata in aste giudiziarie immobiliari, attiva dal 2017. Ha assistito oltre 5.000 clienti e partecipato a più di 5.000 aste su tutto il territorio nazionale.

SIX x-clear and Cboe Clear appointed as interoperable clearing counterparties for the new segment, with DTCC T+1 settlement. 

LONDON, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Equiduct, Europe’s leading pan-European retail-focused exchange, today announces the launch of a dedicated US stocks trading segment effective 1 June 2026, marking the first time a European exchange has offered on-exchange trading of US securities in US dollars with extended hours covering both European and US market sessions. 

The new segment, operating under the exchange MIC code XEQU, will enable European retail brokers to trade leading US equities in US dollars through a fully on-exchange, centrally cleared solution, eliminating the costly off-exchange intermediary arrangements that have historically defined European retail access to US stocks. 

Extended Trading Hours The US segment will operate on an uninterrupted continuous trading schedule from 10:00 CET to 22:00 CET, covering both European and US market open hours within a single trading window. Order entry and management will be available from 07:00 CET. 

Instruments UniverseAt launch, the segment will cover approximately 700 instruments comprising all S&P 500 constituents and 200 of the most actively traded US names outside the S&P 500, selected for retail relevance and trading volume. The universe will be expanded in subsequent phases to include Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 constituents and additional names with demonstrated retail demand. 

Commercial ModelTrading on the US segment is commission-free for retail client orders, consistent with Equiduct’s existing European equities offering. There are no access fees, no per-trade charges, and no minimum volume requirements for retail flow. US segment market data will be included within existing Equiduct market data packages at no additional cost for active trading members. 

Interoperable European Clearing and US DTCC T+1 SettlementEquiduct has appointed SIX x-clear AG and Cboe Clear Europe N.V.as the two fully interoperable central counterparties for the US segment, subject to regulatory approvals. Members may connect to either CCP. The interoperable model ensures that trades between participants clearing through different CCPs match and clear without friction, with no changes required to existing clearing arrangements for European equities activity. 

Both CCPs will extend their operating hours to support Equiduct’s extended US trading window, introducing a second End-of-Day processing cycle at 22:05 CET following the close of the US session. Settlement instructions are submitted to DTCC at 23:00 CET on trade date, with settlement at DTCC on T+1. 

José Manuel Ortiz‑Repiso, Head of Clearing, SIX, said: “This initiative further demonstrates SIX x‑clear’s capacity as a neutral and interoperable European CCP, enabling efficient cross‑border access to US equities while upholding robust risk management and operational resilience standards. It reflects our commitment from SIX to supporting evolving trading models through scalable clearing solutions that meet the needs of global market participants.” 

Vikesh Patel, Global Head of Clearing and President, Cboe Clear Europe, said: “This initiative demonstrates our focus on delivering innovative services that enable greater participation by European retail investors and effective risk management. It also underscores our belief in the principle of open access and clearing interoperability, which unlocks proven benefits including increased post-trade efficiencies and broader participation through lower costs.” 

A Structural Shift in the Economics of US Equity Access 

European retail brokers currently access US equities through uncleared intermediary arrangements, incurring combined trading and settlement costs of up to EUR 1.17 per trade. Equiduct’s US segment replaces this model with commission-free execution, CCP clearing starting at EUR 0.005 per trade, and settlement at DTCC bringing the total post-trade cost of a trade to as low as EUR 0.12 for a large broker executing 8,000 trades per day, translating to an annual US-trade cost saving in excess of EUR 1.7 million. 

Wail Azizi, Chief Strategy Officer at Equiduct, said: “European retail brokers have been paying a significant premium to access US equities through fragmented, uncleared off-exchange arrangements for too long. With this launch, Equiduct brings the same on-exchange discipline, cost efficiency, and transparency we have delivered for European equities to the world’s largest equity market. Commission-free execution, central clearing, and DTCC settlement at a fraction of the current cost is not an incremental improvement; it is a structural reset of the economics of US equity access for European retail brokers.” 

Timeline 

About Equiduct 

Equiduct is Europe’s leading pan-European retail-focused exchange and a market segment of Börse Berlin, operating under Article 44 of MiFID II and regulated by the Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe. In 2025, Equiduct reported 36 active retail brokers, 18.6 million trades executed, and a turnover of EUR 108.3 billion across 13 European markets and 18 leading indices.

TotalEnergies Marketing Italia SpA onboards the fully managed Treon Make Cloud solution to strengthen its maintenance service leadership in the cement and ceramics production sectors  

TAMPERE, Finland, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Treon, a leader in AI-driven Smart Industry solutions, today announced the launch of Treon Make, a Prescriptive Maintenance solution that combines advanced AI analytics, high-precision sensing, and an integrated workflow manager with a user-friendly, mobile-first experience. Treon Make is delivered as a fully managed cloud service hosted on the secure AWS Cloud and offered with scalable, subscription-based pricing. 

“Predictive maintenance has already proven its value in preventing costly production outages and optimizing operations. However, many existing systems generate overwhelming volumes of data,” said Tom Nordman, SVP of Sales and Marketing at Treon. “Instead of simplifying maintenance, this data overload can make analysis and troubleshooting slow and expensive. Treon Make will apply advanced AI to accelerate maintenance workflows without compromising quality.” 

TotalEnergies Marketing Italia SpA is collaborating with Treon to evaluate wireless condition monitoring technologies aimed at further strengthening the maintenance services it provides to cement and ceramics producers in Italy. 

“We started a collaboration with Treon to support the evolution of our maintenance services in the Italian cement and ceramics sector,” said Nicola De Laurentis, Senior Lubrication Engineer at TotalEnergies Marketing Italia SpA. “At this stage, our focus is on the deployment and evaluation of Treon’s wireless vibration sensors, which are well suited to the harsh operating conditions typical of these plants and provide reliable, high-quality condition monitoring data. The cloud-based architecture offers scalability and flexibility, while Treon’s fully managed approach allows us to concentrate on delivering customized technical advice to our customers based on the collected data. Although advanced AI-driven analytics are not yet part of the current scope, we see strong potential in these capabilities and are interested in assessing them in future phases of the collaboration.” 

AI-driven Prescriptive Maintenance  

Treon Make accelerates maintenance through an AI-driven approach. Its self-learning anomaly detection algorithm learns the unique operating behavior of each asset. Data from the Treon Industrial Node X high-precision wireless sensor is continuously fed into the AI analytics engine, enabling the analysis of complex events and asset behavior. 

The result is fast, reliable fault classification that frees human analysts to focus on the most demanding cases and improving the AI models. With accurate, AI-driven insights, companies across manufacturing, processing, pulp and paper, power generation, and utilities can plan corrective actions well in advance and avoid costly unplanned downtime. 

For urgent situations, Treon Make automatically alerts technicians and guides them through repairs using a mobile-first interface, while the integrated workflow manager orchestrates maintenance operations end-to-end. 

Sophisticated and Rugged Wireless Sensor  

The Treon Industrial Node X, part of the Treon Make solution, is a rugged, high-precision, wireless multi-KPI condition monitoring sensor. Featuring replaceable batteries with multi-year lifetime, robust self-healing wireless mesh connectivity, and ATEX certification, the sensor delivers reliable performance even in the most demanding environments, including oil & gas applications. 

Treon will unveil the Make solution at Hannover Messe, April 20–24, 2026. 

About Treon  

Treon is a global leader in AI-driven Smart Industry technologies, helping businesses boost productivity, enhance operational visibility, and improve long-term sustainability. Its fully integrated Predictive Maintenance cloud solutions combine advanced AI analytics, a mobile-first user experience, automated workflows, and wireless vibration sensors delivered as a managed service with scalable subscription pricing.

Gli spazi industriali di via Carlo Meyer, noti per la loro vocazione alla creatività, si confermano dunque come il luogo ideale per ospitare un evento che fonde intuito, memoria storica e design.

L’ingresso all’evento può essere scontato fino alla completa gratuità. Per ottenere il coupon omaggio, gli interessati possono seguire le pagine social ufficiali (la pagina Facebook Passione Vintage o il profilo Instagram EventiVintageStyle) oppure inviare un messaggio con la parola Vintage al numero 328.9666982.

La manifestazione, curata dall’associazione Aurea Eventi, resterà aperta al pubblico con orario continuato dalle 10 alle 19, sia sabato 25 che domenica 26 aprile.
