Presentation of the book «Capitalisti silenziosi» by Roberto Mania

Which are the new families of tricolour capitalism after the Agnellis, the Pirellis, the Pesentis? And also after the Berlusconi, the De Benedetti, the Benetton, the Ferruzzi? In his new essay, journalist Roberto Mania takes us on a journey of discovery of the companies that have changed the productive fabric of Italy and compete in an increasingly globalised world.

Family businesses are the protagonists of the Italian production system. It is from here that almost half of the national industrial production comes. More than 80% of Italian companies are family-owned, a higher share than in other European countries. These companies are the backbone of Made in Italy with more than 2.5 million employees.
