Antonio De Matteis, the CEO of Kiton, has taken over as the new president of Pitti Immagine, replacing Claudio Marenzi, the owner of Herno, who had held the position since 2017. Meanwhile, Antonella Mansi has been reappointed as vice president, and Raffaello Napoleone and Niccolò Ricci will continue to serve on the board, alongside seven new directors.
In expressing gratitude to Marenzi for his leadership during challenging times, Mansi highlighted his success in positioning the company as a global leader in physical and digital fairs, as well as expanding Pitti Immagine's product range.
Over the next three years, the company will focus on acquiring new skills and implementing innovative organizational models to meet future challenges. Additionally, the restoration and modernization of Fortezza da Basso, a critical venue for the company, will require collaboration between Pitti Immagine, CFMI, the City of Florence, and Firenze Fiera to ensure smooth operations during the construction process.
