Franco Gussalli Beretta is ready to assume the 36th presidency in the long history of Confindustria Brescia. Today, at 16,30, the private part of the ordinary assembly of the organization in via Cefalonia is scheduled: on the agenda also the election of the leader - for the next four years - and his team, made up of eight vice presidents. The leader of the historic Fabbrica d'Armi di Gardone Valtrompia will be the third member of the family to hold the position of president of the entrepreneurial organization: before him, his great-uncle Pier Giuseppe Beretta, from 1954 to 1963 and the father Ugo Gussalli Beretta, in office from 1997 to 2001.
The association now in via Cefalonia was established on 18 December 1892, with the first proposal for a Statute for the establishment of a Commercial "Interpreter of the vital interests of Brescia's trade and industry", which was approved in January of the following year, with 417 initial members.
