This volume retraces the history of the steel valve manufacturing companies that have brought the most prestige to this sector of the Italian metalworking industry.
Within its pages, ancient Italian traditions are brought back to life.
“Our country plays a special role, having a history of valve manufacturing that dates back to the times of Imperial Rome. When the Romans carried their civilization to the borders of the empire, they gifted aqueducts, thermal baths, theaters, and sewage systems to the peoples who accepted their rule, ensuring hygiene and health,” explains Luciano Sanguineti of the company ATV in the introduction. “ATV made this initiative possible, which was joined by colleagues who contributed their valuable testimonies and shared in the success of the companies chronicled in this text.”
