Ditec technology meets Piacenza’s history

When innovation and tradition come together, the result is an installation that enhances both historical heritage and modern requirements for safety and comfort. This is the case at the historic Palazzo Morando, home to the Officers' Club (Unified Military Club) of Piacenza, where Ditec PWR swing gate operators provide reliable, safe and elegant access, seamlessly integrating into the architectural surroundings.

Palazzo Morando: a symbol of Piacenza's history

Located in the heart of Piacenza's historic city centre, Palazzo Morando is an elegant 18th-century building and an important part of the city's architectural heritage.

Over the centuries, the building has served a number of important institutional and military functions, contributing to the strategic role played by the city during some of the major historical events of the 20th century. Today, it still retains the charm of its historic architecture, standing out as one of the most significant buildings in Piacenza's urban landscape.

In a setting of such great historical and cultural value, any technological intervention requires particular attention to ensure that functionality and innovation blend harmoniously with the identity of the building.

Ditec PWR: power, reliability and design for every entrance

To automate the swing gates at the Officers' Club, the Ditec PWR 50 operator was selected. It is designed to automate gate leaves up to 5 metres long.

The Ditec PWR range is an ideal solution for residential, multi-residential and professional applications requiring high performance, maximum reliability and easy installation.
