Schiaffini

What Schiaffini does

Schiaffini Travel s.p.a. is an Italian regional mobility operator founded in 1949 by Curzio Schiaffini, headquartered in Rome at Via delle Strelitzie 36, and structured as a single-shareholder joint-stock company under the direction and coordination of parent S.T.A.R. Società Trasporti Automobilistici Regionali S.p.A. The company's core business is local public transport (TPL) under concession from 19 municipalities in the Lazio region, supplemented by school transport services, airport shuttle connections between Fiumicino/Ciampino and Roma Termini (operated under the Autolinee Gran Turismo Provinciali brand), private bus rentals for groups of 8 to 75 passengers, a full-service travel agency offering airline, rail, ferry, cruise, and tour bookings, municipal parking management in select towns, and on-vehicle advertising. The product portfolio addresses four primary customer segments: municipal residents using scheduled urban transport, school children and families using dedicated scuolabus routes, airport travelers, and tourism and group travelers needing private transfers.

The business operates on a mixed revenue model combining recurring monthly and annual subscriptions for TPL and school transport, transaction-based ticket sales through physical retailers and the MyCicero mobile app, one-off private transfer and rental contracts, advertising on bus interiors and exteriors, and travel-agency commissions. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led through municipal concession contracts (B2G), with direct consumer channels via website, app, physical retailers, and a telephone-based on-demand service. The technology layer is conventional: a standard bus fleet with standard transportation management systems, PayPal for online subscription card issuance (2.00 euros, four-year validity), and the third-party MyCicero app for digital ticketing. The company's share capital is only 260,000 euros, employee count is in the 11-50 range, and revenue is not publicly disclosed; it has secured six international certifications (ISO 9001, 45001, 14001, 39001, SA 8000, UNI EN 13816) and a small 55,926-euro public grant from EISMEA in 2016.
