Alessandro Marinella – fourth generation of the Marinella Family – accompanies his father Maurizio to New York. “Like my father, I feel very proud to represent my family and my city where we always chose to stay. I carry a strong sense of responsibility in continuing the work of the three previous generations. Events like this are important milestones and encourage to continue our work. We look forward to the future with enthusiasm and spirit of innovation, but let us not forget our roots, which have solidly led us so far.”
