Alberto Amico, Chairman of Amico & Co, explains “Over the last three years, The Italian Job has grown constantly, thanks to the event formula which allows guests made to measure relaxation time and a chance to socialise with each other and with the main players of the industry in an easy-going and never too business-oriented atmosphere. The enthusiasm of the participants and glowing word of mouth generated by the previous editions have contributed to another fully booked event this year. For months after the event our social media channels are full of thanks and messages of arrivederci”.

He continues “The Italian Job is a successful example of territorial marketing promoting not just the professional nautical production chain but the entire system of tourism in Liguria and promoting the excellence of Italian workmanship and lifestyle in the world. It’s a blend of industry, services and territory where the Liguria region can really compete and excel on the world stage.”
