Fund founder Marco Capello and directors Emilio Di Spiezio Sardo and Marco Anatriello joined Olicar’s board. Control of the company, as well as strategic and operational management, remained in the hands of the Bertello family and the already-existing management, represented on the board by Corrado and Stefano Bertello and Paolo Fusaro.
