At the Terrazze Michelangelo in Florence, overlooking Brunelleschi’s dome and the city that has represented human genius excellence for centuries, Aidia celebrated its first five years on Friday, June 27th. This was not a random choice for a company that has made the synthesis between technological innovation and authentic human relationships its core business philosophy.
Founded in 2020 from the vision of three young Florentine engineers—Riccardo Celli, Luca Angioloni, and Francesco Lombardi—Aidia has navigated these five years while maintaining a firm conviction: the most advanced artificial intelligence finds its true value only when it is placed at the service of people and human relationships.
“When we founded Aidia,” recounts Riccardo Celli, the company’s CEO, “we were clear that technology alone is not enough. We need people who can interpret the real needs of businesses and translate them into concrete solutions. This approach has allowed us to grow to 30 people and achieve over 50 successful implementations throughout Italy.”
The five-year track record shows consistent and sustainable growth: from startup to established enterprise, with revenue exceeding €1.2 million in 2023 and an average documented ROI of 280% for clients who have implemented Aidia solutions. Success built on lasting relationships across 18 different industrial sectors, from manufacturing to packaging, from automotive to logistics.
“Our clients are not just numbers,” emphasizes Luca Angioloni, co-founder and head of technological development. “They are partners with whom we build customized innovation paths. This is why many of them were with us at Terrazze Michelangelo: we weren’t just celebrating a corporate anniversary, but five years of authentic relationships.”
Over these years, Aidia has developed two complementary divisions: on one side, enterprise solutions like AVA (the virtual assistant that keeps corporate data secure) and Aidia Control (the hybrid quality control system), and on the other, the Sphera division, dedicated to business process automation and optimization.
“Sphera represents our ability to continuously innovate,” explains Francesco Lombardi, the third co-founder. “It’s the laboratory where we experiment with future technologies, always maintaining that focus on concrete results that distinguishes us.”
The choice of Terrazze Michelangelo for the celebration symbolically embodies Aidia’s identity: a company that makes technological innovation a tool to enhance human potential, just as the masters of the Florentine Renaissance used the most advanced techniques of their time to express beauty and creativity.
“Florence teaches us that the most enduring innovation comes from the meeting of technical excellence and human sensitivity,” reflects Celli. “That’s what we try to do every day:
The coming years will see Aidia continue to grow, with the goal of establishing itself as a national reference point for enterprise artificial intelligence solutions. But the ambition goes beyond numbers: “We want to contribute to building a future where technology truly serves people and communities,” concludes Celli.
As evening fell over Florence and the city lights came on, guests, employees, and Aidia partners toasted not only five years of shared purpose and commitment, but also the prospect of continuing to write a story where innovation and humanity advance together, just as in the finest Florentine tradition.
