Marco Peroni Ingegneria
We are a structural engineering firm located in Faenza (RA), founded by engineer Marco Peroni in 2010 after 17 years of previous experience in the field.
We develop every kind of project and intervention throughout the entire national territory, especially in Emilia-Romagna, within the private and public sectors.
We help our clients to give structure to their own ideas, whether big or small, going through every phase of the planning and realisation together. Our versatile approach has led us to take on numerous challenges over the years, which had widened and strengthen our expertise. We strongly believe that engineering is first and foremost a means to create value for those around us: for this reason, we work hard to maintain an elastic vision that is always open to new solutions.
Marco Peroni
He graduated in 1992 in Civil and Architectural Engineering from the University of Bologna with honours, presenting an original project about structural calculation under the supervision of mentor Massimo Majowiecki.
He soon founded Enginius Ingegneri Associati with a group of young colleagues, with whom he collaborated for 17 years before starting his own studio.
He has always been interested in big structures and space exploration and he is dedicated to an intense research activity alongside “everyday” engineering.
The team
The strength of Marco Peroni Ingegneria lies in its team: a close-knit group of colleagues that work together under the supervision of Marco Peroni and in close touch with the customer base.
We also collaborate with a network of competent professionals in order to provide a complete and integrated service.
We strongly believe in the value of on-the-job training and for this reason we gladly welcome young engineers in our studio whenever is possible.
Su ciò che usualmente si definisce Arte del Costruire, esiste sempre una base essenzialmente scientifica, e più propriamente matematica, in assenza della quale non può vivere il tecnico.
Ciò non basta certamente.
Per trionfare, l’ingegnere necessita inoltre di altre qualità di artista, di immaginazione creativa, di volontà , di serenità e di coraggio di fronte al rischio, di osservazione, di amore e di entusiasmo per la propria opera e, soprattutto, di intuito costruttivo – un vero e proprio istinto delle forme resistenti, innato o acquisito; e tutto ciò fa sì che, molte volte nel suo operare e nella sua personalità , la sua preparazione scientifica traspaia appena.
– Eduardo Torroja (1899–1961)
How we work
We don’t just do calculations and checks: we consider engineering in the broadest sense, taking care of every aspect of the structural concept itself.
We keep a constant communication with the customer base in order to gradually create and adapt the best solution for each individual case.
We like to think that the structure can actively participate in the architectonic process: in order to do so we propose an approach based on the full integration of the engineering solution within the architectonical one (and vice versa).
We are always inclined to design and develop original solutions, whenever the conditions permit: we are certain that sometimes the best direction to take is the one that has not been explored yet.
What we do
Thanks to the experience gained during the course of our activity, we are able to face every kind of project both in the private and public domain: from the realisation of small interventions on existing structures to the development of very complex engineering projects.
We design solutions that are at the same time efficient, innovative and sustainable, in full respect of current regulations.
Regulations, which are in constant evolution, are a fundamental but complex aspect of contemporary design: for this reason we offer help and support to our clients throughout bureaucracy’s fulfilments.

The importance of research
We greatly value research and we dedicate ourselves to it whenever is possible, in conjunction with our clients’ projects.
We believe that training the brain throughout present and future problems can help us to explore new interpretations which could be useful in everyday practice. This is what experience has taught us during many years of activity.
Our projects have been discussed in various conferences – including the prestigious AIAA-Space in Orlando – and have been presented on numerous newspapers, both online and printed.
Our studio in Faenza
Our headquarters are located inside the former church of the Santissima Annunziata, in the heart of the ancient Borgo Durbecco district in Faenza.
The original architecture dates back to the 15th century and was then rebuilt around the middle of the 18th century. Today the building is divided into two large open spaces, where the team works together and also receives visitors (including numerous curious passers-by).
Here, sketches and models appear among ancient frescoes and decorations, creating a timeless atmosphere, which makes our office a place halfway between a museum and a small laboratory dedicated to designing.
Our offices in Bologna
From January 2021 we are also present in the city of Bologna (San Donato district) with a new operational office and exhibition space, ready to welcome more ideas, suggestions, and visitors.
Our exhibition “Abitare lo Spazio”, with our latest research projects dedicated to space colonization, is currently on display.
