ABOUT US
Seventy years of experience and passion for the construction sector.
It is 1948.
The Pornassio-born mason Angelo Fresia, thanks to his future wife from Ceriale, came into contact with the wealth produced by agriculture in the Albenga Plains.
He realized the unexpressed potential of the construction field, stuck for over twenty years due to the 1929 crisis and the war.
He built his own house in 1952. Decided to propose the farmers of the area the construction of new, more comfortable homes. In those years, with the work of a single day, many of them were earning enough to be able to afford a new one!
THE FOUNDATIONS
THE SIXTIES
In a short time, he became a pioneer in the field. In the early sixties, he started investing his profits. First small “subdivisions”, then some condominiums facing the sea; Angelo moved into one of these with his family.
He started teaching his young sons to work at construction sites during the summer holidays. He oldest two, Francesco and Giuseppe, after the premature death of their father Angelo in 1979, left college studies and took over the company.
Meanwhile, the construction industry had completely changed: town planning came into effect.
CHILDREN
“Franco” and “Pinuccio” started again from scratch in their hometown, Ceriale: small public contracts, sewers and carpentries. Then some villas on the hill overlooking the sea, a first subdivision and a building renovation. Two buildings in Campochiesa and one in Albenga followed.
In 1991 they began an operation of 63 apartments in Ceriale. Subsequently a building renovation in the center of Campochiesa d’Albenga.
And some terraced houses in the same locality.
REAL ESTATE EXPANSION
In the mid-nineties, the residential complex “Le Fornaci” saw the light in Loano.
At the same time about twenty warehouses for craftwork were built in Giustenice, village just above Pietra Ligure.
In 1998, the Fresia brothers’ business, after a fruitful twenty-year partnership that led to the construction of hundreds of real estate units in many locations in Western Liguria, split up.
Franco founded FRESIA 1952 SRL (the year in which the father built his first house).

The FRESIA 1952 company has projects in the process of being approved in: Ceriale, Finale Ligure and Savona.
This concept embodies the essence of Fresia 1952 in two simple words.
The traditional concept of home, a place to experience everyday and where to cultivate memories, finds an “innovative” dimension, both in form and in the materials.
The warmth of wood and the solidity of stone together with the technology of steel and the lightness of glass create innovative environments, comfortable over time, welcoming and adaptable to different and modern ways of living.
Considerable investments on new materials (stainless steel, aluminum, tempered glass, ventilated walls, porcelain stoneware and the latest generation of sound-absorbing and thermal insulation materials…)
The search for machines with very high performance and renewable energy also continues, such as heat pump air conditioners, mechanized air exchanges and more, which treat the air in our apartments in such a way as to guarantee optimal comfort in any season and time of day.
A special relevance is given to the quality of life in our homes. We never stop searching for solutions and strategies for thermal and acoustic insulation which, as well as being synonymous with strength and durability, decrease maintenance costs, increase wellness and promote maximum environmental sustainability.
The locations of our interventions are always chosen with care, so as to be able to offer our clients a continuity of environments that often jut out onto large terraces directly towards the sea.
