The Italian Sea Group announces with heartfelt sorrow the demise of the Vice President Giuseppe Taranto, due to an illness which lasted less than a year.

Giuseppe Taranto fought with immense courage and dignity this tremendous disease that brought him away from his beloved ones.

The CEO Giovanni Costantino, after being by their side during these months, warmly hugs his wife Lucia, his children Ludovica and Valentino and the whole family with the same deep fondness he felt for Giuseppe.

He expresses his heartfelt condolences to all the people who had the opportunity to know him, recalling the Vice President Giuseppe Taranto.

“None of us were prepared to face such a great heartache. Giuseppe, an elegant man, a trusted counselor and a longtime friend, left us prematurely. I am deeply grieved remembering the human and professional path that saw us all standing closely together during the last 30 years, a relationship that goes far back in time, a relationship of true brotherhood, mutual and deep professional esteem which allowed us to face so many challenges together. The best way to honor his memory is to remember and treasure every day those values of humanity, responsibility and dedication of which he was the most convinced supporter”.

The Board will convene in the near future to define the next decisions.
