Caltagirone SpA
 PROFILE
Construction conglomerate Caltagirone has its roots in concrete. Founded as cement manufacturer G. Vianini & Co. in 1890, the company still makes cement products (such as pipes and posts), but it is also involved in heavy construction. The company participates in residential, industrial, and public building projects, including dams, tunnels, and roads. Caltagirone also has real estate interests and has moved into the media arena. Its Caltagirone Editore unit publishes two Italian daily newspapers ("Il Mattino" and "Il Messaggero") and operates an Internet portal (Caltanet). Caltagirone has spun off 28% of the media unit. The Caltagirone family has controlled the company since 1984.
