On December 12th in Madrid, Spain, Luigi Ferraris, CEO of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS Group), and José Bogas Galvez, CEO of Endesa, received the 2022 Tiepolo Award. This special award, presented by the Spanish Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism at the headquarters of Italy's diplomatic representation in Madrid, celebrates the achievements of successful Italian and Spanish entrepreneurs and their vital contribution to strengthening economic and trade relations between the two countries.
Ferraris and Bogas “are two well-known executives, one Italian and the other Spanish, whose companies are leaders in two strategic sectors of the economy and strongly aim at decarbonization; two sectors in which the activities of these two companies are obviously very close to people's needs, contributing to the wellbeing of the society in which we live,” said the Italian Ambassador in Madrid, Riccardo Guariglia. The Tiepolo Award is granted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Spain (CCIS) and the Confederación Española de las Organizaciones Empresariales (CEOE).
Ferraris has been the CEO of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, Italy's largest infrastructure group and a leader in passenger and freight rail transport, since June 2021. Through its well-known operator Trenitalia, the group is part of the Iryo consortium, the first private high-speed company in Spain. Iryo launched its first commercial service in Spain on the Madrid-Barcelona line on November 25th and will start operating from Madrid to Cuenca and Valencia, on December 16th.
