Despar Nord–Aspiag Service S.r.l. has opened a new store in Piazza Cavana, in the historic center of Trieste, Italy, as part of an urban regeneration project. Arneg, an Italian commercial refrigeration company, supplied the refrigeration technology for the project, ensuring integration with the architectural and cultural features of the site.
The new store revives the building’s original commercial purpose, respecting its historical character while offering a modern retail experience. The project aims to foster community engagement by positioning the store as a local social hub.
Arneg provided customized solutions tailored to the constraints and complexity of the historic location. The company focused on energy efficiency, high performance, and aesthetic integration of refrigeration systems to preserve the building’s character while supporting contemporary retail needs.
“We have designed solutions that combine design and technology, in full respect of the historical context,” said Marco Foralosso, Key Account Manager of Arneg S.p.A. “This project represents a perfect balance between tradition and innovation: we are proud to have contributed to giving new life to a symbolic place in the city, sharing with Despar Nord values such as sustainability, quality and a link with the territory.”
According to the companies, the project serves as a replicable model of urban regeneration that aligns modern retail with cultural preservation.
