Maria Cristina Piovesana, chairwoman and CEO of ALF Group, Deputy
Chair of Confindustria and Member of the Order of Merit for Labour, has been
awarded the Marisa Bellisario Award dedicated to “women who make a
difference”, now in its 33rd edition. The award was announced on 1 July and
the ceremony is to be broadcast on Rai 1 on 17 July.
Maria Cristina Piovesana received the Mela d’Oro for Entrepreneurship
alongside other women – managers, doctors, scientists and journalists – who,
like her, have reached important positions in their respective fields.
Today more than ever, the Mela d’Oro, a symbol of female excellence, has
a special significance linked to the economic relaunch of which women will be
the key protagonists.
For Maria Cristina Piovesana, it is recognition of her warmth, her
entrepreneurial drive and the far-sighted vision with which she has always
conducted business.
