Ricci

What Ricci does

Ricci S.p.A. is a privately held Italian luxury construction and restoration firm founded on April 7, 1986 by Mario and Tullio Ricci and headquartered in Rome, with a secondary operating office in Milan since 2004. The company operates exclusively through direct enterprise sales as a general contractor and, since 2022, also as a real-estate investor, targeting private-sector clients in luxury hospitality, premium residential, tertiary/industrial and heritage-restoration segments. Its portfolio of 153 completed projects spans Orient Express Venezia, Baglioni Hotels & Resorts, Hotel Aldrovandi Villa Borghese, Soho House Rome, Palazzo Gaddi Florence for NH Hotels, the ESA ESRIN Building 14 (the first European LEED&WELL Platinum project with Italian contribution), and the Istituto Marangoni Palazzo Turati renovation completed in 2025.

Service delivery is organised around three internal pillars: general construction and conservative restoration; MT Ricci, a wholly owned structural-engineering division handling seismic improvement, structural strengthening and design consultancy; and Ricci H.D. (Ricci Hospitality Division, established 2017), a dedicated unit for hotel-development work. A fourth business line — premium real-estate development as investor — was added with the Spazio Flaminio project in Rome. Facility Management is offered as a recurring service line, and the company is SOA-qualified (renewed September 2025) for public-tender participation following its 2023 opening to the public sector.

Ricci monetises through project-based general-contracting fees (one-time project revenues), professional-services fees for engineering consultancy and facility management, and capital-deployment returns from its nascent real-estate investor role; pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. The company employs approximately 85 people, is ranked among Italy's top 40 private construction firms, and differentiates on brand legacy (40 years), sustainability credentials (CIS Gold across Rome portfolio, multiple ISO certifications, LEED&WELL Platinum expertise), and family-led continuity with second-generation leadership now embedded in the board and at ANCE.
