Anemos acquires Terre di Puglia and is setting up its Italia savoury snacks hub
Anemos Private Investments is entering the food market and has chosen taralli as its starting point for building a new Italian hub for savoury snacks. The holding company has acquired a majority stake in Terre di Puglia, a company founded in Andria in 2003 by Nicola Visaggio. The entrepreneur will retain a significant stake and will continue to lead the company.
The aim of the operation is not merely to increase production; Anemos and Visaggio want to transform Terre di Puglia into a platform capable of bringing together other producers, particularly businesses linked to the Apulian food tradition. The project focuses on organic growth and acquisitions.
Anemos’s debut
This is the holding company’s first private equity investment since its foundation in early 2024. Anemos is self-funded and forms part of Samhita, Paolo Basilico’s family office; it invests in small and medium-sized Italian businesses with the aim of supporting them over the long term, without the stricter timeframes of traditional funds.
“We are deeply proud to announce our investment in Terre di Puglia, as this transaction embodies our vision and investment philosophy,” says Martina Di Gioia, managing director of Anemos. The holding company, she continues, believes “strongly in the resilience and future growth of the Italian food sector, as well as in the global recognition of ‘Made in Italy’.”
