Ambrogio:
born to give you back your time
A true story that began with a lawn.
It was just an ordinary Sunday, in a small Tuscan town. One of those bright days, perfect for spending time outdoors. But Fabrizio — entrepreneur, father, dreamer — was in his garden, mowing the lawn. A weekly ritual, repetitive, an hour stolen from his free time.
That’s when a simple yet revolutionary idea came to him: “What if a robot could do it for me?”
The thought didn’t remain just a thought. He went down to the basement, found the wheels of an old stroller, an electrician’s box, the frame of a bicycle.
He put the pieces together, added a motor and a recycled mower blade. He tested it on his lawn.
It worked.
That small collection of gears, wires, and vision came to life. It needed a name — something that inspired trust, familiarity, and care. He called it Ambrogio, like the butler from a famous TV ad: precise, reliable, silent, always there.
From that moment, everything changed. Fabrizio Bernini was the founder of Zucchetti Centro Sistemi, until then a company focused on software and automation. But that Sunday, on that lawn, a new path was born: robotics designed to give people back their time.
From the first cut to a green revolution.
Ambrogio quickly became more than just an experiment. Once brought into the company, it was engineered, refined, and enhanced with Italian technology and design.
The first model, UFO, looked like something from outer space — and in many ways it was. A robot that could mow the lawn on its own, in a world where no one had ever imagined it.
From the very first perimeter wire to the introduction of lithium batteries, from the first wire-free robot to intelligent sensors, from mowing on the steepest slopes to RTK satellite navigation — Ambrogio has led the way, year after year. A.
Always one step ahead.
lways true to its mission: giving back time while taking care of green spaces. Today, Ambrogio works in more than 30 countries, moving freely across private gardens, sports fields, resorts, and large public areas.
It cuts with precision, nourishes the soil, and operates in silence. It doesn’t impose technology — it adapts. After all, it’s the lawn that sets the rules
Ambrogio was born from an intuition, but grew with a vision.
Giving value to people’s time, with technology that works in harmony with nature. And today, 25 years after that dream was born in a Tuscan garden, it keeps on cutting, growing, innovating. Ambrogio.
The robot that cares for your lawn. And for your time.
