"Vertigini' tells the story of the Acrobatica company, a leader in the rope construction industry
"There are days that are worth a lifetime, like the one Riccardo is living under the Boccadasse sun and that will mark his and thousands of people's destiny forever"
The book by Deborah Dirani tells the story of the Acrobatic feat by talking about love, pain, crazy but also successful choices, which characterised the lives of the protagonists, a man and a woman capable of building something unique and revolutionary together.
It all starts by chance, on a summer's evening more than thirty years ago, when a young skipper climbs down from a roof with a rope to help a friend. He has no idea how to repair a gutter: he knows how to use ropes, sure, but his element is water, not air. Yet he decides to give it a try, because he likes getting involved, throwing himself into it with enthusiasm is what he does best. He is a determined boy, full of dreams, for some inconstant, now we would say visionary.
Because it was precisely from this crazy, improvised attempt that a vision was born: construction on ropes, the construction of Acrobatica, a company founded by Riccardo Iovino and now led by Anna Marras, his partner in life and business.
In this book, which traces the company's thirty-one-year history, there is much more than the story of a group that today employs over three thousand people on two continents: there is above all the story of a great love, of a man and a woman who together decided to build something great, unique and revolutionary. Something capable of surviving everything: trouble, ambushes, betrayals and even death.
From small garage to leading company in the industry, to listing on the stock exchange and international success.
