I started to take an interest in him as a journalist when he was filling institutional posts, to be precise from the time he became president of Film Commission and later took up the same post for ITP (Investment in Turin and Pied- mont), the Agency devoted at the time to attracting foreign investors to Piedmont. When I met him I liked him immediately. Moreover it was clear that he had decided to offer his experience as an entrepreneur to a public body for a set period without seeking any profit whatsoever, profit being the purpose of any entrepreneurial venture. In spring 2008 I fancied a chat with him again so I set up a meeting. I did not have to interview him for my newspaper or gather information on his group, BasicNet, owner of the famous Kappa, Robe di Kappa, Jesus Jeans, Superga, K-Way brands. The last time I had seen him it had been at a jazz evening I had organized: he attended with his “wife” Stella (I’ll explain the meaning of the in- verted commas later). I told him I loved pizza and he invited me to that extraordinary pizzeria known as Fratelli La Cozza, behind BasicNet’s headquarters in Torino, under the very roof that saw the dawn of local industrial activity in 1916, when Abramo Vitale – a second name that will play a fundamental part in Marco Boglione’s existence – established Società Anonima Calzificio Torinese.

  • BENETTON S.P.A
    Harvard Business School 9-389-074 January 19, 1989 BENETTON S.p.A. I should say the new strategy relates to our intention of structuring Benetton as a proper multinational company. That means we plan to create a complex global manufacturing system to advance our mission to reach the two-thirds of the world where we do not have a presence. It is in this light that our recent choice to diversify into the field of financial services must be interpreted.
