"Until the last moment, even in these days of physical suffering, he dedicated every single moment to working for the company and the family. Today," says CEO Pietro Sella, also on behalf of his family, the boards of directors and colleagues of all group companies, "he leaves us someone to whom we owe the success of the Group in which we work and a great example of dedication, wisdom, far-sightedness and entrepreneurship. In practice, he had every aspect of his succession in place long ago'. "But what he leaves us most of all is a great moral legacy, made up of teachings and unwavering confidence, determination and work for the future. His strength, his example, his integrity and his belief in the future are and will always be our hallmark,' the CEO emphasises.
