FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – Società a responsabilità limitata is the regional rail and bus operator for Calabria, Italy. It is entered in the Registro delle Imprese di Catanzaro under the registration number, codice fiscale and partita IVA 02355890795, carries REA number CZ-162464 at the Camera di Commercio di Catanzaro, and has its registered office at Via Milano 28, 88100 Catanzaro. Share capital is EUR 4,864,520, fully paid and held as quote rather than shares. The register’s own status wording could not be obtained free of charge, because Registro Imprese releases the visura and the deposited accounts only on payment; the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 state the company is not in liquidation, and the Regione Calabria’s statutory review of its holdings lists it among the Region’s active companies. An active registry entry evidences registration, not that services are being operated.

That regional review, approved on 27 December 2024, gives the constitution date of this legal person as 11 April 2000; the company’s own published history records that FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – Società a responsabilità limitata began operating on 1 January 2001, succeeding a Calabrian network descended from the Ferrovie Calabro Lucane concession. Its corporate object is the carriage of persons and goods by rail, bus, tramway, cableway and other vehicles. It runs narrow-gauge railway lines, among them Cosenza–Catanzaro and the Camigliatello Silano–San Giovanni in Fiore tourist line, and scheduled buses in every Calabrian province, from seven local units and no secondary registered seats.

Services run under contratti di servizio whose awarding body is the Regione Calabria: the rail contract directly, and the bus services through a direct award to Consorzio CO.ME.TRA. under Regulation (EC) 1370/2007, extended by regional decree no. 20372 of 29 December 2023 until 31 December 2026. Regional decree no. 20007 of 20 December 2025 also entrusted FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA with the Lorica cable-lift installations, committing EUR 1,289,642.86 for 2025. Rail operation was substantially reduced through 2025 while the Cosenza–Catanzaro line was rebuilt, the service programme being delivered by replacement buses as the contract provides. For the year ended 31 December 2025, entity-level revenue from sales and services was EUR 47,868,110, of which EUR 41,934,376 was service-contract consideration; total production value was EUR 67,622,889, the year closed with a profit of EUR 251,257 against EUR 144,406 in 2024, and the workforce stood at 706.

Shareholders

Shareholders of FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – SOCIETA A RESPONSABILITA LIMITATA

The company is a società a responsabilità limitata, so its capital is held as quote and its holder is a socio rather than a shareholder in the share sense. It has a single socio.

Socio Holding Basis As of Source
Regione Calabria (regional authority, seat Via Crispi 33, Catanzaro; entity codice fiscale 02205340793) Quota of EUR 4,864,520.00, being 100% of the share capital Nominal value of the quota as a proportion of subscribed share capital; the Regione was recorded as representing the entire share capital at the shareholders’ meeting 2 December 2022 (notarised minute); 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023 (regional review); 31 December 2025 (sole-socio declaration in the annual accounts) Verbale di assemblea of 2 December 2022 before the notary in Cosenza, repertorio 10.477, raccolta 8.240, filed in the official CCIAA archive 13 December 2022, ID 202146572; Regione Calabria, Ricognizione e revisione periodica delle partecipazioni societarie ai sensi dell’art. 20 del D.Lgs. 175/2016, Allegato 1 to DGR no. 757 of 27 December 2024, published in BURC no. 4 of 9 January 2025, section 5.2; Bilancio di esercizio al 31 December 2025, dati anagrafici (“società con socio unico: si”)

The regional review records the holding as 100.00% direct and states that the Regione acquired the company in December 2012 under its agreements with the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti; the admission of the holding to the Region’s portfolio is attributed to Deliberazione della Giunta Regionale no. 471 of 6 November 2012. Historically, the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti was the sole holder from 1 January 2001, when the company began operating, and the 2012 transfer followed an Accordo di Programma of 11 February 2000 between that Ministry and the Regione Calabria and a further Accordo di Programma concluded in November 2012. The Ministry is a former holder only; no primary source consulted records it as holding any quota now.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

The ownership chain terminates at the Regione Calabria, which holds the entire capital directly. A public authority has no beneficial owner in the KYB sense: there is no natural person behind the Regione Calabria to identify, and the correct answer is the authority itself rather than an absent record. No percentage was multiplied through, because the chain has a single link. Italian beneficial-ownership filings for companies of this form commonly record senior managing officials where no owning natural person exists; no such filing is reproduced here, and no individual is named as a beneficial owner of this company.

Data availability

Full. The identity of the socio, the nominal value of the quota, the percentage, the basis of the percentage and the reporting dates were all obtained: from a notarised shareholders’ minute held in the official Chamber of Commerce archive, from the Regione Calabria’s statutory review of its holdings published in the regional official bulletin, and from the company’s own deposited annual accounts. Ultimate beneficial ownership is resolved in substance rather than merely recorded, because the holder is a public authority.

Officers

Directors and officers of FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – SOCIETA A RESPONSABILITA LIMITATA

The company is administered by a sole director. The statuto permits the shareholders’ meeting to replace the sole director with a consiglio di amministrazione of three members, and requires any such resolution to be transmitted to the competent section of the Corte dei Conti; no filing consulted records that this has been done.

No person is described here as currently holding the office of amministratore unico. The company’s own art. 14 publication, as last updated on 4 August 2026, lists Aristide Vercillo Martino under both the current holders of administrative office and the ceased holders, and gives his mandate as ending on 6 July 2026; no successor and no renewal is published. The latest filing in which he acts in that office is dated 8 June 2026, within the published term. Nationality, country of residence and correspondence address are not established for either individual by any source consulted and are not inferred. The roles recorded are offices, not occupations. No corporate entity holds an office: the statutory audit is carried out by an individual revisore unico, not by an audit firm.

  • Aristide Vercillo Martino took the office of amministratore unico with effect from 15 July 2025, by resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. Source: the company’s art. 14 publication, section 2.2. The Relazione sulla Gestione for 2025 states in one passage that he assumed the office from July 2025 and in another that he has been on unpaid leave from his managerial employment with the company since 13 November 2025 as a consequence of the appointment; the two statements are not reconciled in that document.
  • The revisore unico’s appointment was confirmed by shareholders’ resolution of 14 July 2025, the original appointment dating from 5 August 2022. Source: Relazione unitaria del revisore unico of 23 June 2026.

Data availability

Current only, and incomplete at the latest date. Named office-holders, exact Italian role titles, appointment dates and termination dates are published by the company under art. 14 of D.Lgs. 33/2013 and corroborated by signed annual filings. What is not available is any filing covering the period after 6 July 2026, so the holder of the office of amministratore unico as at the date of this review is not established. Personal data that Italian records carry for office-holders, namely dates of birth and codici fiscali, are deliberately omitted.

Group Structure

Group structure of FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – SOCIETA A RESPONSABILITA LIMITATA

The annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 state, in the dati anagrafici, that the company does not belong to a group and is not subject to the direction and coordination of any other company, and the Relazione sulla Gestione repeats that it is not subject to direction or coordination for the purposes of art. 2497 of the Civil Code. The name element “Ferrovie” is shared with many Italian transport entities, including the national Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane group; no filing consulted places this company in that group, and the shared name is not evidence of a relationship.

Counterparty Relationship Measure As of Source
Regione Calabria Sole socio; immediate and ultimate parent, held directly Quota of EUR 4,864,520.00, 100% of share capital 2 December 2022; 31 December 2023; 31 December 2025 Verbale di assemblea of 2 December 2022, CCIAA archive copy ID 202146572; Allegato 1 to DGR no. 757 of 27 December 2024, BURC no. 4 of 9 January 2025; Bilancio di esercizio al 31 December 2025
Consorzio Meridionale Trasporti S.c.a.r.l. (CO.ME.TRA.) Direct participation held by this company; consortium member, not a subsidiary Quota of EUR 5,378.00 in a share capital of EUR 15,000.00; financial fixed assets carry participations of EUR 5,358 31 December 2025; the company’s art. 22 publication updated 28 May 2024 Relazione sulla Gestione al 31 December 2025; Bilancio di esercizio al 31 December 2025; Società Trasparente section 7, Enti Controllati
Fersav S.r.l. (in fallimento) Recorded by the Regione Calabria as an indirect participation of the Region held through this company; not corroborated by the company’s own publication No percentage published 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023 Allegato 1 to DGR no. 757 of 27 December 2024, BURC no. 4 of 9 January 2025, tables of indirect participations

The company’s own publication under art. 22 of D.Lgs. 33/2013 states that it exercises no powers of control over bodies governed by private law and records CO.ME.TRA. as its only participation. Two points in the evidence do not agree and are reported rather than resolved. First, the Relazione sulla Gestione for 2025 describes the CO.ME.TRA. quota as “non maggioritaria” in one passage and describes this company as the “socio di maggioranza” of CO.ME.TRA. in another; the quota of EUR 5,378 in a capital of EUR 15,000 is reproduced above so the reader can see what is stated. Second, the Regione’s statutory review lists Fersav S.r.l., in bankruptcy, as an indirect participation held through this company, which the company’s own transparency publication does not record. The other members of CO.ME.TRA. named in the 2025 report are A.M.A.CO. S.p.A. of Cosenza (in judicial liquidation), A.M.C. S.p.A. of Catanzaro, FERLOC S.r.l. Unipersonale of Cosenza, Multiservizi Lamezia S.p.A., Brosio Nicola & Fratelli S.n.c. and G.B.V. S.r.l.; they are fellow members of that consortium and no filing consulted makes any of them a sister company of this company. The 2025 balance sheet carries an equity reserve designated “SCISSIONE FERLOC”, which evidences a past demerger connected with FERLOC S.r.l.; no filing consulted sets out that transaction’s terms.

Recent structural changes

  • The holding moved from the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti to the Regione Calabria in December 2012, following the agreements between those two bodies; the Region attributes the acquisition to Deliberazione della Giunta Regionale no. 471 of 6 November 2012. Source: Allegato 1 to DGR no. 757 of 27 December 2024, section 5.2, BURC no. 4 of 9 January 2025.
  • The statuto was amended by resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting of 5 August 2022 and 2 December 2022 to insert the in-house provisions of art. 16(3) and (3-bis) of D.Lgs. 175/2016, including the requirement that more than 80% of activity be performed for the controlling authority and that the company operate only within the territory of the Regione Calabria. The Region classifies the company as in-house from those amendments; the Relazione sulla Gestione for 2025 records that the Regione has applied to ANAC for recognition of in-house status, which indicates the recognition was still pending when that report was signed on 3 June 2026. Sources: Verbale di assemblea of 2 December 2022, CCIAA archive copy ID 202146572; Allegato 1 to DGR no. 757 of 27 December 2024, item 11; Relazione sulla Gestione al 31 December 2025.
  • A demerger of the infrastructure management and maintenance branch, contemplated by regional law no. 35/2015, has not taken effect, and the two official sources disagree on its state. The Region’s review of 27 December 2024 states that the Region abandoned the demerger project and chose instead to strengthen the company’s role; the company’s Relazione sulla Gestione signed 3 June 2026 states that the demerger project is still being assessed by regional departments for feasibility. Sources: Allegato 1 to DGR no. 757 of 27 December 2024, section 5.2; Relazione sulla Gestione al 31 December 2025.

Data availability

Partial. The parent relationship is fully established, with a percentage, a basis and dates. Downward, the company’s participation in CO.ME.TRA. is published as a euro amount against that consortium’s capital, but the 2025 report contradicts itself on whether the holding is a majority one, and the Regione’s review asserts an indirect participation in Fersav S.r.l. that the company’s own art. 22 publication does not record. No percentage is published for Fersav S.r.l., and none is inferred.

Can I access FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – SOCIETA A RESPONSABILITA LIMITATA's data through an API?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including Italy, so records like FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA – SOCIETA A RESPONSABILITA LIMITATA's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.
