Roofs and structuresThree generations, since 1945
The Vezzosi family’s history.
1945
The forests and the sawmill
The first generation worked in the Casentino forests. The Vezzosi brothers opened their first sawmill in Pratovecchio, beginning the family’s experience in timber.
Early 1980s
The timber trade
Andrea Vezzosi developed the import and trade of timber, mainly from Africa and South America, alongside Italian and European species. The business became established in Porrena.
Early 2000s
The structures division
The third generation began producing and installing timber structures. Dedicated software and CNC machines supported the move into bespoke projects.

The photovoltaic systems were sized to cover the business’s stated energy requirements on an annual basis. Some diesel forklifts have been replaced with electric vehicles.
This equipment is not an environmental certification and does not establish environmental characteristics of individual products.
Construction and investment
Our experience includes seventeen residential buildings in the Municipality of Poppi and a new company warehouse with a timber roof.
Vela also participated in the acquisition, refurbishment and letting of the former ALA Legnami site in Arezzo, covering around 30,000 m², through a company in which it holds a 50% interest. The remaining 50% is held by another member of the Vezzosi family. Vela also contributed to some of the timber roofs on the new buildings.
