GRAND CELEBRATION FOR BENETTI’S 150 YEAR ANNIVERSARY THE HOUSE OF YACHTING THREE DAYS OF CELEBRATION AT THE VIAREGGIO AND LIVORNO SHIPYARDS WITH OWNERS, EMPLOYEES AND OFFICIALS
One hundred and fifty years of values, handed down from father to son, with a passion for excellence, design and technological innovation. A shipyard that over the years has been able to create real works of art, the only one that can boast an example kept at the same home with Leonardo da Vinci's drawings, at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan: the 'Brigantino San Giorgio', launched in 1921. In the 1960s, with Lorenzo Benetti, the shipyard revolutionized the yachting world by switching construction from wood to steel: thus the modern megayacht concept was born, with the Delfino, Gabbiano and Mediterraneo series which became iconic boats. They recalled legendary tales of the aristocracy and international jet set in the years of 'la dolce vita'. From Rainier of Monaco to David Bowie, who used to spend his holidays on his 'El Caran' with Mick Jagger, Robin Williams, and Michael Caine. The Beatles were often guests of their manager, the owner of a Delfino Benetti. |
