Esselunga is an 8 billion euro turnover colossus that Giuseppe Caprotti led as CEO, but where he can no longer set foot. In a tale that weaves together family affairs, unresolved grudges and legal battles, Caprotti retraces three centuries of family history, which is intertwined with that of Italy.
Everything was already written in the will: Giuseppe and his sister Violetta, children of the first marriage, are not universal heirs but legatees, with a heavy tax burden on them. A family and entrepreneurial story narrated in the book Le Ossa dei Caprotti (Feltrinelli, 2023), which tells the story of a great enterprise between economic successes and personal entanglements.
