In its strategy of enhancing the excellence of Made in Italy, the Italian strategic fund of Cassa depositi e prestiti is thinking of acquiring an important stake in Eataly, the chain of national specialty food restaurants which was founded by Oscar Farinetti and now has a turnover of about 300 million a year. "Il Sole 24 Ore" writes it in its financial pages.
Farinetti, who could be tempted by a political adventure together with his friend Matteo Renzi, has been saying for some time that on his XNUMXth birthday next September, he could leave Eataly to his children. And it is precisely in view of this appointment that Farinetti is also thinking about the shareholding reorganization of his company: in this logic, the entry of the Strategic Fund would fit everything.
Especially if the arrival of such a partner – who in recent months has entered into an agreement with Qatar Holding to invest up to 2 billion euros in the key sectors of Made in Italy – serves to accompany Eataly on the stock exchange.
