NERO Lifestyle Partners with Nuovo Rinascimento: The Future of Italian Business Between Tradition and Innovation in Florence
Florence, a city synonymous with the Renaissance and Italian excellence, provided the setting for Nuovo Rinascimento, an event organized by Forbes Italia and Kon Group that brought together entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Italian business.
Hosted in the evocative Sala della Musica at the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, the event offered a valuable opportunity for discussion on strategic topics such as generational transitions in family businesses, the evolution of corporate governance models, technological innovation, and the role of philanthropy in building a sustainable future.
The discussions were led by Alessandro Mauro Rossi, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Italia, who moderated the presentations and roundtables, giving a voice to leading figures from Italy's economic and business landscape.
At the heart of the conversation was the concept of continuity: the ability of businesses to preserve their heritage of values and expertise while embracing new generations, perspectives, and tools. This is a particularly relevant topic for Italy, where family-owned businesses represent a cornerstone of the national economy and generational succession remains one of the key challenges for the years ahead.
Among the prominent speakers were Francesco Ferragina, President of Kon Group, Giovanna Gregori, General Manager of AIDAF, Stefano Aversa, President of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, and several leading representatives of the business community, including Fabiana Scavolini, Simone Bettini, President of Federmeccanica, and Katia Da Ros, CEO of Irinox.
Special attention was also given to the impact of artificial intelligence and the need to develop new leadership models capable of combining technological progress, a people-centered approach, and a long-term vision.
As an event partner, NERO Lifestyle supported this significant gathering within the Italian business landscape, contributing to an opportunity for dialogue among organizations united by their pursuit of excellence and their ambition to create new opportunities for growth. The gift bags distributed to all attendees also included informational materials and a €200 gift card, redeemable for stays at the luxury properties within the NERO Lifestyle collection.
