The historic building on St Mark's Square in Venice now houses the headquarters of Generali Versicherungen. It was originally built in the 16th century as the seat of the Venetian procurators. Following extensive restoration work by star architect David Chipperfield, the listed building has now been opened to the public for the first time, almost 500 years after its construction. A FOGTEC water mist system protects all rooms with a total area of approx. 8,000 m2. The high-pressure water mist technology was chosen as the firefighting system for this historically outstanding building primarily due to the inconspicuous installation of the system using filigree pipework. Other factors were the compact pumps and water tanks and the low water consumption in the event of system activation.
