Emilio Riva, owner of Ilva, has died at the age of 88. The news came in the early afternoon of today. The historic owner of the ion steel mill, patriarch of the family at the helm of one of the largest steel groups in the world, had been ill for some time.
It was he himself who dealt with the acquisition of the Taranto plant from IRI. But his name is inevitably linked to the investigation that on June 19 will be examined by the judge of the preliminary hearing for the environmental disaster in Taranto.
