The aim of this work is to bring the study of facility management, that is the management of the services connected with the maintenance and valorisation of real estate, to a higher and more complete level. We have sought to overcome the – albeit inevitable – engineering/efficientist approach, to arrive at an all-round promotion and analysis of the discipline, hinging on the concept of service. This means, first and foremost, rediscovering the relational aspect apropos the clientele and, starting from this, moving towards a restructuring of the service where the aim is to meet personal requirements rather than purely technical standards. The aspiration, underscored in the title, is in fact that of arriving at a "global care" of the person.
