Arco Felice and the Prysmian Model on Rai1

Naples — An invisible bridge beneath the world's seas, starting from the heart of the Gulf of Naples. On Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 17:10 PM, Rai 1 cameras will enter the Prysmian plant in Arco Felice (Pozzuoli) as part of the program Navigando Lungocosta (Navigating Along the Coast). An exclusive journey inside one of the world's most advanced industrial facilities for the design and manufacture of submarine cables for energy and data transmission.

The television program will highlight how Southern Italy has become a hub for the energy transition and continental digital connectivity. The Phlegraean Field plant represents the pinnacle of an integrated industrial ecosystem that includes a fleet of cutting-edge cable-laying vessels and the EOSS (Engineering, Operations, Service & Solutions) strategic engineering center in Palermo.

Technological excellence that crosses the oceans

From European power grids to intercontinental connections, technology developed in the Naples area plays a key role in security of supply and decarbonization.

"Every day, our technologies contribute to the transport of electricity and data across countries, continents, and oceans," explains Alessandro Panico, SVP Transmission Chief Commercial Officer at Prysmian. "Arco Felice represents a fundamental element of this mission, combining world-class manufacturing with highly specialized expertise. Together with our fleet of cable-laying vessels, we create integrated solutions that strengthen energy security and enable global connectivity."

Global know-how and Phlegraean roots

Beyond its infrastructural impact, the Rai documentary highlights the human and social aspects of an industry that continues to invest and grow in its home territory.

"Arco Felice has deep roots: approximately 80% of our people live in the surrounding area," emphasizes Mario Gallo, Plant Director of the Arco Felice facility. "This connection with the community is one of the pillars of our success and demonstrates how a highly specialized industrial site can thrive alongside its surroundings. Knowing that the daily work of our technicians supports the energy transition is a source of great pride for all of us."
