OUR GROUP: WORKING TOGETHER LIKE AN EXTENDED FAMILY
Walter Cruciani, Commissioning Machinery Superintendent Having had the opportunity to work on the Habshan 5 project makes me particularly happy and proud of the result achieved by the Group. But the most moving moment of the entire experience was definitely the baptism of my baby son, Ettore. My family was with me while I worked on the Habshan 5 site in Abu Dhabi, so we decided to have our son christened there, in the United Arab Emirates. Thanks to the efforts of Antonino Corti, Logistics & Administration Manager, and Fausto Chiaruttini, Site Manager, we were able to celebrate Holy Mass in the small yet lovely site church, in the presence of the Bishop of Abu Dhabi and a great many colleagues and worshippers who flocked to this extraordinary event. My wife and I were touched to the core by the way everybody jumped in to help us organize the service. And seeing the entire community there, a harmonious mingling of Christians, Muslims and Buddhists, struck a chord deep in our hearts. A Christian baptism in the desert of a Muslim country is a rare sight indeed, and the whole atmosphere is even more special, when you live in a community where friendship transcends the boundaries of religion and ethnicity. This intensely emotional memory will certainly remain imprinted on the hearts and minds of both me and my wife, thanks to the amazing people who wanted to share such an important and joyous family moment with us. Little Ettore is named after his grandfather, Walter’s dad and a retired employee of the Group.
