FOLLOWING the death of Francesco
Mulazzi, mechanical design manager,
Mandelli Sistemi SpA is creating
opportunities for study and
introduction into the machine tool
world for young mechanical engineers.
The company, based in Piacenza,
Italy, has named a scholarship after
Ing Francesco Mulazzi for students
who will be attending the Laurea
Magistrale in Mechanical Engineering
during 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, 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,”
explained Saverio Gellini, the Mandelli
CEO.
“Our intention,” added Andrea Riello,
president of Mandelli Sistemi and of
Gruppo Riello Sistemi to which the
company belongs, “is that of
maintaining in time the memory of our
colleague who passed away by
associating him to 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, whom I both
embrace.”
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 tranches: the first
amounting to €3,000 will be assigned
according to the grades obtained
during the first year of the Laurea
Magistrale, whilst the second, equal
to €2,000, will be given when the
Laurea Magistrale is awarded, which
must be within the academic year in
question.
This competition will be repeated every
year so that the “Ing Francesco
Mulazzi” Scholarship will become the
occasion for the symbolic handing
over of the baton among the students
of the second year of Laurea
Magistrale in Mechanical Engineering
specialising in “Machine Tools and
Manufacturing Systems”.
Starting from next year, it will be two
students who will receive the
scholarship: one for students starting
the specialisation and the other for
those graduating in Laurea Magistrale
after specialising in machine tools.
