In a ceremony at Politecnico di Milano’s Aula Magna, the Italian Association of Women Engineers and Architects (A.I.D.I.A.) presented the Adele Racheli Scholarship. This prestigious award, named after Adele Racheli—a trailblazing engineer and A.I.D.I.A. co-founder—was granted to our team member Roberta Falco.
Adele Racheli, a 1920 graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, left an indelible mark on the engineering landscape. In 1957, she co-founded A.I.D.I.A., championing the cause of women in engineering and architecture. Racheli’s forward-thinking spirit was further embodied through her establishment of the Racheli Patent Office in Milan in 1925.
This represents not only an honor, but also creates a bridge between generations in the engineering and architecture community, paying homage to the visionary women who paved the way for future generations.
