Le ossa dei Caprotti presentation, Chiari (BS) 8/11/2025

This video documents the presentation of my book Le ossa dei Caprotti, held on Saturday 8 November 2025 in Chiari (BS), as part of the Italian Micro-Publishing Exhibition. In conversation with Claudio Baroni, I talk about the origins of the book, my research into the sources and the reasons that led me to reconstruct a family history marked by myths, conflicts and generational transitions.

From the 7/9/2025 episode of PresaDiretta

Esselunga is an 8 billion euro turnover colossus that Giuseppe Caprotti led as CEO, but where he can no longer set foot. In a story that weaves together family business, 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.

Giuseppe Caprotti: The war for Esselunga – “Succession” Italian-style – PDR

Giuseppe Caprotti was the protagonist of a bitter clash with his father Bernardo Caprotti over the succession at the head of the Esselunga group. He recounted this long conflict full of twists and turns (a sort of Italian-style “Succession”) in his book “Le Ossa dei Caprotti” (Feltrinelli). We talked about how Esselunga was born, the father-son relationship within one of Italy’s leading entrepreneurial dynasties, family capitalism, supermarkets, stalking, the CIA, the Rockefellers and artificial intelligence.

Guido Venosta

Guido Venosta, my grandfather, was a pioneer of the non-profit sector. While still an executive at Pirelli, in 1966 he was charged with getting the Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC) off the ground. He worked for the association with dedication and enthusiasm, eventually turning it into the largest private funding body in Italy for research in the fight against cancer. Thanks to his commitment and brilliant mind, initiatives that have made the history of non-profit fundraising such as ‘Health Oranges’ and ‘Research Azaleas’ were born. Every two years a deserving researcher receives the ‘Guido Venosta’ award from the President of the Republic. https://www. fondazioneguidovenosta.org[/vc_column_text]
