Tanzi, from successes to the biggest crash in Italian entrepreneurial history

Eighteen years ago, on New Year’s Eve 2004, the eyes of the world – business and beyond – were all turned to a small town in the province of Parma: Collecchio. Epicenter of the biggest, thunderous, devastating Italian financial scandal, the crash of Parmalat. A hole worth 14 billion euros, a national record still unsurpassed.

The main protagonist, Calisto Tanzi, passed away yesterday at the age of 83.
