History

The company was founded in 1929 by Sante Astaldi, and a member of the Astaldi family remains on the company's board. Astaldi was involved in many major European civil works projects pre-World War II, including the Rome-Naples railroad. After the war, the company extended its activities to Africa, where it focused on road construction. Between the 1950s and the 70s, Astaldi's presence was introduced to the Middle East, Central and South America, and the Far East. The company split into Impresa Astaldi Estero SpA and Impresa Astaldi Estero SpA in 1950, but merged to form the present-day Astaldi SpA in the 1980s. Astaldi continued to diversify its projects, entering new markets in the United States, Turkey and Indonesia throughout the 80s and 90s.
The Canadian portion of the company attempted to build a power station a Muskrat Falls on the island of Newfoundland, Canada in 2016 without having a structural engineering permit to work on such a project. The company was deemed "professionally incompetent".
