Remembering Francesco Mulazzi
of Mandelli Sistemi SpA
MANDELLI Sistemi SpA has announced
the sad news that Francesco Mulazzi,
mechanical design manager, has
recently and prematurely passed away.
The company hopes to remember
him by helping to create opportunities
for the study of machine tools for young
mechanical engineers.
It is with this in mind that the company,
located in Piacenza, Italy, and which
has been making
machine tools in
Italy and worldwide
for more than 80
years, has made
an announcement
for a scholar-
ship named after Ing
Francesco Mulazzi
for students who
will be attending the
Laurea Magistrale in
mechanical engine-
ering during the academic year 2016-
2017, specialising in “Machine Tools and
Manufacturing Systems” c/o Politecnico
di Milano, Piacenza Branch.
“The student who will be awarded
the scholarship after graduating in
Laurea Magistrale and will have the
opportunity of dealing with the labour
market thanks to the possibility of
carrying out a six-month training
internship c/o the Mandelli Sistemi Plant
in Piacenza for which an allowance will
be given,” said Saverio Gellini, Mandelli
CEO.
“Our intention is to maintain the
memory of our colleague who passed
away by associating him with the
continuous training of young engineers
interested in the machine tool world.
This same thought was also shared by
Francesco’s wife Tiziana and his young
daughter Manuela, she too being a
university student, who are both very
much in our thoughts,” said Andrea
Riello, president of Mandelli Sistemi and
of Gruppo Riello Sistemi to which the
company belongs.
A scholarship will be awarded to the
winner of the competition – which has
been publicised on the institutional
Mandelli websites as well as on that
of Politecnico di Milano Piacenza
Branch, of MUSP Consortium of
Piacenza and of the Unione Costruttori
Italiani di Macchine Utensili (UCIMU)
– equal to €5,000 divided into two
awards.
This competition will be repeated
every year so that the Ing Francesco
Mulazzi Scholarship will become
associated with helping the best young
machine tool engineers advance their
careers and training.
