FiberCop Roadshow: A national tour kicks off in Rome to accelerate the digital transformation of local communities.

The "FiberCop for Territorial Development" roadshow began in Rome and will travel to Naples, Turin, Bologna, and Livorno. Municipalities and technicians will discuss fiber optics, micro-trenches, and strategies for bridging the digital divide and building increasingly smart and connected cities.

FiberCop Roadshow: A national tour kicks off in Rome to accelerate the digital transformation of local communities.

He left Rome on December 4th roadshow “FiberCop for the development of the territories”, which in the next few weeks will touch Naples (December 16th), Turin (January 15th 2026), Bologna (February 3rd 2026) and Livorno (February 10th 2026). The initiative, promoted by AnciComunicare with the patronage of the Anci and the FiberCop technical support, is proposed as space for direct comparison with the Municipalities: an opportunity to share expertise, define common strategies, and foster the construction of resilient digital networks, essential for smarter cities, advanced services, and truly connected communities.

Mayors and technicians at the heart of digital transformation

The Roman stage brought together administrators and technicians for an operational discussion on How to accelerate the digital transition starting from the webAmong the participants, James Angeloni, Councilor for Innovation and Simplification of the Municipality of Bergamo, together with representatives of the Municipalities of Galatina (Lecce) and Grassano (Matera). From the debate a shared belief emerged: the Municipalities are at the heart of building advanced digital ecosystemsThey are the ones who guide partnerships with private individuals, govern authorization processes and integrate new networks with local services, becoming protagonists in reducing the digital divide.

On the technical front, Angela Gargano, Public Affairs Director, and Roberto Chiappini, Development Manager, illustrated the technological architecture and the operating methods with which Fibercop supports the territories in the construction of the fiber optic network. The focus was on innovative excavation techniques, In particular the microtrench: a reduced-section methodology that allows for limiting the impact on public land, reducing work times and costs, and speeding up the restoration of the road surface.

An approach designed to make network expansion sustainable and ensure faster, less invasive interventions in urban areas.

Connectivity as a lever for development

The roadshow, in addition to a technical update time, thus becomes a traveling laboratory on the cities of the future increasingly smart, interconnected, with increasingly advanced digital services. For municipalities, businesses and citizens, the fiber is no longer just a technological infrastructure, but an enabling condition for new economic, administrative and social opportunities.
