I am an entrepreneur, a sportsman and a lover of art in all its forms. Creating value for society. The constant search for discontinuity drives my business and communication activities.In 1992, at the age of 28, I founded 21 Invest, a company operating in the Italian investment fund market. In 2022 I took over the role of Chairman in Edizione, holding company of the Benetton family. In 2023, I became Honorary Chairman of Dufry Group and Vice Chairman of Mundys.My connection to the world of sports led me to be President of Benetton F1 Racing Team, the team in which Michael Schumacher won his first world title. I was also nominated president of the Cortina Foundation which organized the 2021 World Alpine Ski Championships.I believe that life is about challenging ourselves through continuously questioning our choices and ideas in order to enrich who we are: being open to constructive criticism and willing to dialogue with others are just some of the tools I rely on to reach my goals and pursue my dreams. I am taking part in the conversation here on LinkedIn to learn about new views and perspectives.
