ABOUT US
Seventy years of experience and passion for the construction sector.
It is 1948.
The Pornassio-born mason Angelo Fresia, thanks to his future wife from Ceriale, came into contact with the wealth produced by agriculture in the Albenga Plains.
He realized the unexpressed potential of the construction field, stuck for over twenty years due to the 1929 crisis and the war.
He built his own house in 1952. Decided to propose the farmers of the area the construction of new, more comfortable homes. In those years, with the work of a single day, many of them were earning enough to be able to afford a new one!
THE FOUNDATIONS
THE SIXTIES
In a short time, he became a pioneer in the field. In the early sixties, he started investing his profits. First small “subdivisions” and then some condominiums. Angelo moved in of these with his family.
He started teaching his young sons to work at construction sites during the summer holidays. he oldest two, Francesco and Giuseppe, after the premature death of their father Angelo in 1979, left college studies and took over the company.
Meanwhile, the construction industry had completely changed: town planning came into effect.
CHILDREN
“Franco” and “Pinuccio” started again from scratch in their hometown, Ceriale: small public contracts, sewers and carpentries. Then some villas in the hills, a first subdivision and a building renovation. Two buildings in Campochiesa and one in Albenga followed.
In 1991 they started an operation regarding 63 accomodations in Ceriale. Subsequently a building renovation in the center of Campochiesa d’Albenga.
And some terraced houses in the same locality.
REAL ESTATE EXPANSION
In the mid-nineties, the residential complex “Le Fornaci” saw the light in Loano.
At the same time about twenty warehouses for craftwork were built in Giustenice, village just above Pietra Ligure.
1998. After a fruitful 20-years collaboration that led to the construction of hundreds of housing units in several zones of western Liguria, the Fresia brothers parted ways in 1998.

The construction company Fresia 1952 has several projects and new interventions for the future.
This concept embodies the essence of Fresia 1952 in two simple words.
The traditional concept of home, a place to experience everyday and where to cultivate memories, finds an “innovative” dimension, both in form and in the materials.
The warmth of wood and the solidity of stone are intertwined with the technology of steel and the lightness of glass to create an environment that can accommodate and encourage diverse and modern ways of living.
Considerable investments on new materials (stainless steel, aluminum, tempered glass, ventilated walls, porcelain stoneware and the latest generation of sound-absorbing and thermal insulation materials…)
are flanked by the search for high output machines using renewable energy (heat pump air conditioners, mechanized air freshening…) dealing with the air of our accommodations in order to ensure optimal comfort throughout the day and year.
A special relevance is given to the quality of life in our homes. We never stop searching for solutions and strategies for thermal and acoustic insulation which, as well as being synonymous with strength and durability, decrease maintenance costs, increase wellness and promote maximum environmental sustainability
