The race
In the family (four brothers, in addition to him Antonella, Maria Paola and Aristide, the same name as the founding grandfather of the company) Andrea had been one of the most convinced supporters of the idea of keeping the Italian group: he was sold in October from 2014 to the American group Whirlpool. Vittorio Merloni passed away in 2016 after a long illness that had long removed him from the management of the company.
