Date of first inscription in Order of Architects : 18/05/1987
Personal inscription number for Architects in Florence : Prato 4846.
I set forth my career after a training period c/o Studio Architect Italo Gamberini in Florence. The latter is one of the best architects in Italy. I commenced in July 1979 with the Building Contractors Percoco S.p.A. in Rome as a General Contractor in the publishing section.
In September 1980 as a General Manager c/o Building Contractor ITC S.p.A. in Florence.
In 1982 as a General Contractor c/o various builders : i.e.
Callisto Pontello S.p.A. in Florence
Basso Cav. Angelo in Treviso
Volani S.p.A. in Trento
carrying out various civil and public works in Florence and other cities.
In 1984 I was conferred a degree in Architecture c/o Faculty of Architecture in Florence.
Since 1988 I principally carry out activities as a planner and consultant for Construction enterprises and private personnel responsible of works for the management of private and public orders seeing to the accomplishment of real estates and public contracts, aiding other technicians to the fulfilment of different works. In these I was responsible for the success of the contracts, of the costs and times as follows :
Expert in environmental problems, I examined thoroughly the studies of research in this section availing of the TRANSALPINE experience in regards to Ecological Architecture. In reference to this, I established the BIOARKT Studio that sees to promoting the research and scientific/technological development for the application of renewable sources and to the adoption of technologies and measurements that aim to the rational use of energy :
I gather, elaborate and spread scientific and technological information ;
I promote and sustain any further initiative that sees to a better diffusion of the knowledge and technologies in the interested areas, even through the equation between the application research phases, of demonstrative development and industrial promotion, advancing the professional training ;
I underline, for the above, the importance of environmental valency of the technologies bound to the renewable sources and to the rational use of energy, this in view of the contribution that can result in the reduction of factors responsible for environment degradation both on local and global scale.

Within the limits of problems bound with environmental ecology, there has been a lot of talk in regards to pollution factors compelled to territory and ambient, but in reference to ambient pollution inside working areas and housing in Italy, little or nearly nothing has been done or divulged to acquaint the population of the daily problems that each one ignores or partially knows and with which we cohabit.
A lot is said these days of Bio-architecture, but what it is exactly and how it is projected and applied is not known to all, being this a "projection plan " new to our country but ancient in its origin, since the Romans were masters, and to this aim, I held a Bio-architecture course in 1994 sponsored and organised by the Tuscany Region.
Projection, assistance for the precaution and realisation of building works in general and research of the financing aimed to energy savings, to alternative energy and alternative construction techniques with the auxiliary of ecological materials, paying due attention to :
buildings projection in Bio-ecological architecture with management and energy recovery and their realisation ;
refurbishing and recovery of buildings across the use of Bio-ecological architecture.

The reply to the hygienic problems and more specifically in regards to the gathering and disposal of urban and special solid wastes, passes across a constant research and modernisation in regards to technology and upon the offer of renewable technical services for the territorial body and Private/Public enterprises.

Once the Architecture and Ecological Studio Bioarkt has been founded, "Bioarkt" has been registered as the sole Italian trade mark for Ecological quality, that has been given under licence to some service and production firms, that as a whole are able to "construct naturally" thus guaranteeing and protecting customers.
Services and products protected under the Bioarkt Trade Mark, are guaranteed by an ecological quality certificate drawn up once a series of analysis and test have been carried out by a laboratory that collaborates with the Bioarkt Group that is legally empowered by the State, so that the final user, availer of the material, is supplied with a quality certificate of the works developed, done by the laboratory herein mentioned.
Across the Bioarkt group we want to create an ensemble of specialised firms to carry out ecological projects, making use of Eco-compared materials manufactured by the same holders of the trade mark, this to certify the final quality of works done, making up in the long run, a national norm of complete application, in reference to norm ISO 9000 and to the European trade mark ECOLABEL, until it reaches the recognition on behalf of the competent Ministry, through the Bioarkt trade mark as a warranty of the ecological quality of products and services supplied by the Group.
Particularly, the firms mainly producing ecological materials, that would like to adapt to the European norms during adoption phase even in Italy, where the trade mark is in a recognition phase, can distinguish from the ones already existing on the market that do not produce handmade with the characteristics suitable for the ecological market.
The firms in the unit, through an enterprise Association, can participate in public or private tenders "completely autonomously" actualising building works, of furnishing and maintenance thus supplying an exclusive service to a market in full expansion.
In the limits of problems connected to ambient ecology, plenty has been said regards to polluted factors bound to the territory and environment, but in regards to environmental foulness inside working atmospheres or dwellings in Italy next to nothing has been done or revealed to acquaint the population of the daily problems that each one ignores or partially comprehends and with which we abide.
To this aim, after years of study and application, Architect Stefano Bruno has registered the Bioarkt Trade mark as a symbol of ecological quality and has given under license to some service and production firms, that as a group are able to "naturally construct" guaranteeing and protecting the customers.
The services and products under the guardian of the Bioarkt Trade mark, are guaranteed by an ecological quality certificate compiled once a series of analysis and tests carried out by a laboratory collaborating with the Bioarkt Group and legally empowered by the State, until the final user, availer of the material, is issued with another works quality certificate specifying that the materials used have been fully tested.
The norms through which Arch. Bruno and the Bioarkt groups have put in action to create a complete service to the firms, within the limits of problems inherent Ecological architecture, can be fully supplied by contacting :
