Abstract: A ventilated facade system includes a support frame fixed to a surface of a wall to be covered; a plurality of covering panels, each having an outer face and an opposite rear face and being fixed to the support frame in a selected arrangement; a plurality of fixing units that fix the panels to the frame and include a first plate-shaped support element having a flat body, which is fixed to the frame and has an outwardly-projecting and shear-resistant first support bracket lip; a second plate-shaped support element having a plate body with one edge folded to form an acute angle to be inserted into a corresponding cavity formed in the rear face, the support element being resistant to tensile stress and having a portion designed to be fixed to the frame; and a third flat element guiding concurrent edges of contiguous panels, which is fixed to the frame.
