    "As long as there is one woman threatened as a woman, we will have no peace". [Lidia Ravera]. 25 November is the world day against violence to women. We in Mechanical Scylla feel that we are in the front line in the fight against human stupidity and delinquency. Not all men, of course, only some. Those few that take to extremes, with tragic violent events, visions and cultures of gender supremacy deeply rooted in worlds, usually organised by males, that have origins dating far back in history. However, they are worlds that are monstrously still part of the common male's retro-thinking and devious habits. That male, apparently gentle in the circle of trust, who does not commit explicit violence: the father, the husband, the son, the boyfriend, the partner, the lover, the friend, the brother, the uncle, the cousin, the boss, the colleague, the partner, the acquaintance, the traitor. The modernity of the male dissolves in his ambiguity of thought: protector of his own mother and his own woman, sacrificing himself on the altar of sacred principles, but immediately kidnapped by the raging fire of prejudice and disparaging judgement towards the woman who expresses herself freely, critically and autonomously.  Even more so, the modernity of the male is destroyed in his silence in the face of the daily repetition of announcements of violence to women: In 2021, 89 women in Italy will be victims of gender-based crimes every day. In 62% of the cases, it is family abuse. Femicides occur at the rate of one every 72 hours. As long as men continue to measure their relationship with women and the organised system of society by the greedy and childish principle of the right of ownership over the female and positions of leadership, regardless of merit, there can never be peace. There can never be that healthy competition, not between genders, not between ethnicities, not between cultures, not between religions and not between economies, but between intellects.  The enhancement and stimulation of the vertical and transversal skills and aptitudes of all human beings, which could bring the very existence of humanity and the globe towards better prospects than those that are emerging today. Mechanics is a traditionally male-dominated world. In this environment you can breathe in the prejudice of men towards women every day: from corporate roles to calendars hanging on the walls. This also applies to the aesthetics of trade fair exhibitions, which unfortunately are still often linked to the absurd combination of "women and motors", the most banal and obsolete expression of which is the Moto GP "Race Queen" or the "Veline" of TV programmes. Scilla Meccanica wants to stand out in this respect. Many strategic corporate roles are occupied by women. Not because of their being women, but because of the absolute merit of being thinking, organised and capable individuals. As many roles are occupied by men, not by right of nationality, not by cunning, not by malice, not by arrogance, not by spirit, not by privilege but, as is the case with our extraordinary women, by solid behavioural values, acquired skills, ability to involve, communicate, drag and teamwork. Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi Montalcini said: "It's easy to be a female, all you need is a pair of stilettos and skimpy clothes... but to be a woman you have to dress your brain with character, personality and courage." Following the concept, we could add that it is easy to be male where the display of muscles and prevarication is enough. To be a man, on the other hand, it would be enough to begin to understand and internalise the concept of respect. Respect for ideas, respect for difference, respect for rules... respect for women.             Glauco Pigoli architetto - project managerer
    Scilla Meccanica saves energy with E-Power

    Scilla Meccanica is an EN ISO 50001:2018 certified company.With reference to the "Energy Management System Policy", the first of the commitments made by Scilla Meccanica is:   to assume and reinforce the awareness of the importance of efficient and correct use of the energy resource. The fundamental question that arose during the meetings of the company's Energy Team was whether the process optimisation effort underlying the above-mentioned energy policy statement could be undermined by the use of inefficient energy at source.On the basis of this argument, the Energy Manager of Scilla Meccanica, Gabriella Albani, promoted a specific survey on the subject, which resulted, after a number of meetings for analysis, evaluation and in-depth study during the year 2021, in the mandate that Scilla Meccanica gave to the company Energia Europa Spa for the supply and installation of the E-Power system.With the operational support of Elettrogamma Srl, the system was installed in the electrical transformation cabin of Scilla Meccanica on 08/10/2021 and tested on 21/10/2021.   The E-Power system: what does it consist of? Il team Elettrogamma: Michele, Nicola, Roberto E-Power is an Energia Europa patented system for energy efficiency in production sites, producing energy and cost savings for the same amount of work performed. The key principle is that electrical energy can also be filtered and therefore made more efficient. The inspiration for the development of the E-Power system comes from audio and acoustic technology: distortions are unwanted background noise in the acoustic sector that can be attenuated with appropriate filter technologies. Due to new types of stabilised power users now widely prevalent in modern electrical systems, there are more and more disturbances in the electrical transmission that impoverish the quality of the power, as happens in the world of high-fidelity audio. The filtering results obtained in the field of professional audio and the new conditions in the electricity grid were the basis for Energia Europa's research and development, with the aim of optimising energy transmission and reducing losses in the grid. Until the 1980s, all industrial and commercial sites were dominated by linear loads, i.e. electrical loads that were not regulated or managed by electronic devices. In the late 1980s, electronic components became smaller and more efficient. New, more efficient technologies are starting to come to the fore, linked to electronic frequency control, which have a positive impact on consumption but a negative impact on power quality. Since the 2000s, world electricity consumption has grown exponentially and production from renewable sources has increased significantly, which has a negative impact on power quality. Non-linear loads, i.e. loads managed by power electronics, are prevalent at production sites. It is essential to save energy by making installations more efficient and optimising power quality. The innovative filtering technology of E-Power systems works by modifying the current waveform, reducing disturbances and losses on the line and improving power quality and efficiency.

    “Courage, the best has passed,” goesone of the great Ennio Flaiano's most famous aphorisms. Perhaps we should resign ourselves too and admit that our dolce vita is now dead, irrecoverable. Perhaps Pier Paolo Pasolini was right when he said in the second half of the 1950s: “We are at the origins of what will probably be the worst era in human history, the era of industrial alienation.” If we think back to the last year our life, it is difficult to remain indifferent to Pasolini's prophecy and anxiety rises inside us. By isolating us, making us sick, killing our loved ones, the pandemic has tested our psyche and our economy. Is this really our historic moment? Are we, seventy years later, creatures condemned to live the worst era in human history? Is the era of industrial alienation really our era? My answer is that it depends on us. I am deeply convinced that in life there is always the possibility to choose. What is often lacking is the courage to make choices. The courage to change Because some choices are tough, they involve sacrifices that we are not willing to bear. This is our era: the era of choice. It is time to decide what we want to do with our lives and the shred of the world we have left.
