Giuseppe has contributed significantly to the development of the family business. After graduating in Contemporary History from the Sorbonne in Paris in 1986, with a thesis on the political and economic situation in Alto Adige published by Franco Angeli, Giuseppe embarked on a career in the retail sector.
