Del Vecchio and Agnelli-Elkann, here are similarities and differences
The post by Fulvio Coltorti, former director of Mediobanca's studies and research area, which takes its cue from an article in the French newspaper Les Echos on Del Vecchio
On Les Echos.
Del Vecchio considered the last patriarch of Italian capitalism: a single man in charge.
An article of admiration (with gritted teeth…) for those who managed to impose their man at the top of EssilorLuxottica.
It is certainly a different type of pasta from that of the Agnelli who, in order to collect dividends, joyfully handed over to the French (given their impotence) the control room of Stellantis.
But glasses are a different commodity from cars.
This is no consolation for us Italians: Del Vecchio also commands from tax havens. Unfortunately, our "old" private entrepreneurs have disappeared.
It is only to be hoped that among the new ones (of the fourth capitalism) the real difference will grow, that is the attention to the community without limiting itself to their own pockets.
