MILAN (ITALPRESS) – «My greatest dream is to see my independent company, which can live without Paolo Barletta. The real victory for parent entrepreneurs is to give their children the freedom to enter the company or not, but the company must survive anyway. In Italy, on the other hand, it is necessary for the second generation to enter the family business, because there are no managers. What I’m trying to do is create an independent group from me ». The entrepreneur Paolo Barletta, who in the last 10 years has launched several companies, diversifying investments in the sectors of technology, fashion, hospitality and cinema, tells the Sole 24 Ore. «Alchimia, born in 2018, is the company in which I have merged my investments. Today it counts on a team of 30 people and does not limit itself to investing capital, it supports start-ups, creates synergies, looks at the market and makes them seize opportunities. On the other hand, there is no shortage of capital on the market today and therefore it is necessary to give added value “, explains the entrepreneur talking about the holding company, of which Nicola Bulgari became a partner in 2019. It all started with the first investments in denim. in 2010, when he met Chiara Ferragni, in whose company he invested with a 40 percent stake. “The future of Chiara’s company could be listing on the stock exchange or it could continue its path within a large international group, as has already happened for other Italian brands,” he explains. In 2020 Paolo Barletta with Nicola Bulgari founded Arsenale, a company focused on Made in Italy tourism, which merged the Soho House Roma and Rosewood Venezia projects. «The world of hospitality is the oil of our country. The supply chain must be complete: from how you take people there, how they eat, what tours they do – underlines the entrepreneur -. With Arsenale we want to accompany large hotel chains in their entry into Italy with 10-15 projects over the next 10 years in iconic sites with different managers “, explains Barletta, adding:” In Italy we have settled on the natural beauties we have, but if not we evolve from the point of view of services sooner or later we risk losing foreign tourism. Arsenale is investing 800 million with more than 1,200 people hired through the related industries. The State should facilitate the birth of similar groups in order to multiply the investments that can arrive on the market ”. «Arsenale and Alchimia do not bear my name, although I consider my surname a value. The Barletta Group must finish before Paolo Barletta. My children, if they want to, will decide to join a company that does not bear their name “, he underlines.
