Ri-Legno

What Ri-Legno does

Ri-Legno S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Trento that designs, engineers, produces, and installs engineered wood structures for public and private clients. Founded in 2014 by engineers Giulio Franceschini and Lavinia Sartori, the firm employs between 11 and 50 people and operates as a specialist B2B contractor using XLAM (cross-laminated timber) and glulam (legno lamellare). Its core offering is organized into four service lines: new wood structure construction (turnkey / "chiavi in mano"), structural rehabilitation of existing timber buildings, engineering diagnostics using sophisticated instrumentation, and planned maintenance programming. Notable technical achievements include the construction of a 9-story social housing complex in Rovereto — Italy's tallest fully wood-structured building — and pedestrian bridges with spans approaching 40 meters.

The firm's underlying technology combines engineered timber systems with off-site prefabrication and single-lift installation methods, enabling complex projects in logistically constrained locations while minimizing on-site disruption. All wood is PEFC-certified from sustainably managed forests, and projects have achieved ARCA Silver and energy class A+ certifications. The business model is project-based: revenue is generated through competitive bidding on public works (municipalities, social housing developers, fire departments) and direct negotiation on private commissions (hospitality, residential, industrial). Pricing is custom-quoted per project based on scope, complexity, and materials, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm manages the full project lifecycle from design and structural engineering through fabrication and installation.

Ri-Legno serves customers primarily across multiple Italian regions — including Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, Lombardia, Liguria, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Toscana, and Piemonte — and has begun executing cross-border projects in Switzerland. Its customer base spans public and social housing developers, hospitality operators, municipalities requiring pedestrian infrastructure, public safety agencies, and private commercial clients. Marketing is conducted primarily through a project-portfolio website with no significant social media or paid acquisition presence, and the firm operates with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds.
