Following today’s meeting of the Board of Directors, Ferruccio Ferragamo declared: “As I have already informed the shareholders, today I will be stepping down as Chairman of the Company after 15 years. I am deeply grateful to my family for having always actively supported me in this role. I am also thankful to the #people who have worked with me and poured their passion and dedication into achieving and consolidating important milestones. I would like to extend special thanks to all Ferragamo employees for the loyalty and sense of belonging to the Company that they have always shown, and to my mother, the true architect of Salvatore Ferragamo’s international success. The example she set and her teachings have been invaluable to me throughout this long journey.

I am passing the torch to my brother Leonardo with the knowledge that he will continue to guide the Company upholding the principles and values that have always defined our family.”

The new Chairman, #leonardoferragamo, added: “I would like to thank my family and the Boards of Directors of Ferragamo Finanziaria and #salvatoreferragamo for the trust they have placed in me. It is with immense honour and a deep sense of responsibility that I fill this position, which was first held by my father Salvatore until his death in 1960, then for many years by my mother, before becoming my brother Ferruccio’s for the past fifteen years.

With dedication and passion, I will strive to let their teachings and values be my guide, along with those that my family has conveyed to the Company and those that our so many wonderful employees in Italy and abroad have upheld, earning for our brand, over the years, with their tireless work, vision and enthusiasm, the respect it deserves around the world.

It is precisely this intensity that I know the entire company will be able to draw on for the passion, pride and clear-headed determination it needs to continue on this path and develop the immeasurable potential of our brand, even in these particularly challenging times. I will work alongside them and the new generations with all my energy.

I, along with everyone else, would like to express gratitude and appreciation to Ferruccio - now Chairman of Ferragamo Finanziaria - for his extraordinary reliability, integrity, humanity and resilience, and for his generous commitment to the family and the #business. His talents have permeated our culture and are the crucial foundation for our future development.

Last but certainly not least, special thanks to our many employees abroad who, through their work and dedication every day, together with those of other Italian brands, have helped establish the solid, unique values of our Bella Italia around the world, values that we hope to strengthen more and more.”
