Intesa Sanpaolo leads €38 million pooled financing for Acque Bresciane

8 October 2025

The IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division of Intesa Sanpaolo has taken part – alongside a pool of banks – in a €38 million financing for Acque Bresciane, the sole manager of the Brescia water service.

The new three-year credit line will allow Acque Bresciane to anticipate contributions from Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), granted to companies playing a strategic role in the ecological transition. It will also finance infrastructure upgrades focused on sustainability across the Brescia area.

The main projects supported by this financing include:

• the construction of the Alta e Media Valle Trompia inter-municipal aqueduct
• the expansion and upgrading of wastewater treatment plants in Calcinato-Calcinatello, Leno, Poncarale and Mairano
• the modernisation and efficiency improvements of water infrastructure, digitalisation and network monitoring.

This new facility follows the €202 million financing agreed in 2021 and the €55 million signed in 2024.

The transaction confirms the IMI CIB Division’s commitment to supporting strategic infrastructure projects that contribute to regional development and the ecological transition.
