Floor tile (100) comprising a plurality of piezoelectric stacks (1), each of the stacks being made by overlapping a plurality of piezoelectric elements (2) and a first plurality of elastic insulating spacers (3) interposed between each pair of adjacent piezoelectric elements (2); a plurality of plastic containers (6) each one of them being designed to house a corresponding piezoelectric stack (2); at least one box (8) designed to house at least two plastic containers (6). The tile (100) further comprises a body (11) configured to accommodate the at least one box (8) and formed by: an upper surface (12) designed to support a flooring; a pressure transfer element (13), designed to transform the pressure exerted on the upper surface of the body (11) in a uniform compression of all piezoelectric stacks (1) contained therein; a retaining element (14) of the at least one box (8) designed to fix the box (8) inside the body (11); elastic elements designed to promote the release from a compressed configuration to a rest configuration when the pressure exerted on the upper surface of the body (11) is removed and a lower element (15) closing the body (11).
