Rome, 6 February 2026 –   FiberCop, which manages Italy’s most advanced and far-reaching digital infrastructure, has acquired two strategic properties located in Genoa and Padua from Central Sicaf, a company under the direction and coordination of Covivio. These properties already serve as FiberCop’s operational sites and key hubs of the national telecommunications backbone.

The transaction is part of the growth and development strategy of FiberCop: the company continues to invest in the modernisation of the digital network and in the enhancement of the infrastructure that forms the backbone of the country’s connectivity.

“With these acquisitions, FiberCop is investing in core assets for our network. This strengthens our ability to offer reliable, resilient and innovative services to the benefit of the entire country”, said Alberto Boffelli, Chief Corporate Officer of FiberCop. “Directly managing this infrastructure allows us to plan future investments more effectively and to continue ensuring the quality and security of the services we provide every day. At the same time, we have launched a plan to enhance our real estate assets with a focus on efficiency and sustainability.”

The two facilities in Genoa and Padua house essential components of FiberCop’s new backbone – a digital “superhighway” that connects Italy’s major cities, industrial districts and peripheral areas, ensuring ultra-fast, resilient and secure connectivity across Italy.

The properties in Padua and Genoa represent two of the main Points of Presence (PoPs) of the backbone, physical nodes of the network infrastructure that act as access and interconnection points between FiberCop’s network and the rest of the Internet.

The Padua site also serves as one of FiberCop’s headquarters, which has recently been renovated with improvements to its offices, technical areas and logistics facilities. In addition, the Genoa site represents a vital hub for Mediterranean connectivity and a potential attraction for operators active in the subsea communication systems sector.
