The Ancient Egyptians are reborn with Sabiana!

The National Archaeological Museum of Naples will soon inaugurate the renovated area that holds the Egyptian Collection, which ranks second in Italy by importance after the one in the Turin’s Egyptian Museum. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples, one of the first to be set up in Europe between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, housed in a monumental Seventeenth century palazzo, boasts the richest and most valuable collection of works of art and artefacts of archaeological interest in Italy. On April 1st, 2015 the Egyptian Museum of Turin showed its new layout, stemming from 5 years of design and construction work and an investment of 50 million Euro. The outcome is considered to be outstanding by all the world’s leading experts. The collection of finds is spread on an overall surface of 10,000 square metres, up from the previous 6,400, over four floors, connected by an escalator system that mimics an ideal journey upstream the Nile, designed by scenographer Dante Ferretti. A true cultural jewel, which is already expected to attract long queues of visitors from all over the world. The second museum by importance worldwide, after the one in Cairo. Sabiana took part in these important renovation projects, supplying Carisma and UTA fan coils for air conditioning the buildings.

Exceptionally high temperatures were recorded in November. The pollution alarm goes off.

In a year that might become the hottest ever recorded worldwide, this month our country recorded exceptionally high temperatures, at late spring levels, with severely affected glaciers. The temperatures well above the season’s average and ensuing fog raised the levels detected by the measurement stations of fine dust and other pollutants, the concentrations of which were extremely high in some cities. Fine dust that is not cleared by rain keeps circulating in our air, outdoors as well as in the home! And the quality of indoor air is a “hot” topic as shown by the conference on “Air quality assessment in confined residential and work spaces: a powerful prevention tool” that took place at the end of October in Lecco, actively promoted by the Public Health Laboratory of the Local Health Authority’s Prevention Department. “Prevention in residential and work spaces is the foundation of all actions taken to protect health and promote an ever better quality of life,” said Dr. Antonio Gattinoni, Health Director of the Lecco Local Health Authority. The conference allowed different professionals (preventive doctors, surveyors, biologists, engineers, architects, chemists) to exchange views on air quality in residential and work spaces and to indicate preventive and sanitising actions to be implemented in designing buildings and air handling systems.

Extension of the bonuses for energy upgrading and building renovation works.

The 2016 stability law especially focuses on homeowners, by extending the 50% IRPEF tax relief for renovations and 65% for energy saving, which will allow them to benefit again next year from significant savings on construction and energy efficiency improvement work on buildings, as well as on purchases of furniture and large household appliances. Public housing management bodies will also be able to access tax relief through a 170 million Euro fund allocated for maintenance and will therefore be able to carry out renovations on the most obsolete buildings. AS is the case for this year, the eco bonus for 65% consists in an IRPEF or IRES tax relief, spread over ten annual instalments. The maximum permitted amount for the deduction is 100 thousand Euro. All taxpayers and businesses owners of the property undergoing energy upgrade can benefit from the tax credit. The actions include reducing energy use for winter heating and works for thermal improvement of the building. The relief for anti-seismic adaptation works, aimed at making existing buildings safe, is also confirmed. One may apply for the ecobonus both for upgrading works in individual flats and in the common parts of blocks of flats. The deduction cannot be combined with that for the renovation bonus. The 50% bonus is also confirmed for 2016, to the amount of 96 thousand Euro amortised over ten years. In this case the construction work is for renovation. The application for the relief may be submitted by the owners or holders of real rights on the property undergoing work, as well as tenants and free loan users. Another piece of good news is the confirmation of the furniture bonus: 50% tax deduction, up to a ceiling of 10 thousand Euro. The relief includes expenses incurred for furniture and large household appliances.
