History
The company was founded on June 30, 2011. At founding, Intesa Sanpaolo was a minority shareholder of Metroweb Italia for 12.5% stake, but sold the shares to F2i for €20 million.[10] After the transaction, FSI formally subscribed the capital increase of Metroweb Italia, to become the new minority shareholders.
In October 2012, Metroweb Italia acquired the controlling interests (85%) in Genoese company Saster Net, which was renamed to Metroweb Genova.
In April 2015 a takeover bid from Telecom Italia was rejected.[11]
In June 2016, Enel entered into negotiations with CDP Equity and F2i, aiming at a future integration between Enel Open Fiber and Metroweb. The first step was the subscription of Open Fiber's capital increase, which led to the creation of a 50/50 joint venture between Enel and CDP Equity. Subsequently, on December 20, 2016, Enel Open Fiber acquired the entire capital of Metroweb,[12][13] followed by the merger by incorporation of Metroweb into Open Fiber, approved by the Board of Directors on January 13, 2017 and completed in the first quarter of 2017.[14][15]
