Mapei Sport Research Centre has introduced a new emergency medical service specifically designed for competitive athletes who suffer injuries during training or competitions. The initiative provides rapid diagnosis and rehabilitation planning, ensuring a safe return to sport. Alongside this, the Centre continues to offer its renowned fitness training and assessment services tailored to athletes of all levels.

This interview with Alessandro Coscia, Ceramic Line Specialist and Technical Services at Mapei, explores the acoustic challenges faced in the Palazzo De Fazio project and how Mapei’s Mapesilent Roll system provided an advanced solution. By exceeding regulatory requirements and preventing acoustic bridges in precast slabs, the system delivered outstanding airborne and impact sound insulation. On-site acoustic tests confirmed excellent performance, validating design simulations and achieving Class II certification under UNI 11367, to the full satisfaction of all stakeholders.

Palazzo De Fazio is a multifunctional building in Bari that combines residential, commercial, and office spaces, with a strong focus on sound insulation. The collaboration between De Fazio Costruzioni and Mapei led to advanced technical solutions such as Mapesilent Roll. The system ensures high acoustic performance and living comfort. Every phase was meticulously planned to guarantee acoustic continuity and long-term durability.
