The Italian Ambassador to Croatia, Paolo Trichilo, visited the Calzedonia Group and Ducati factories in the Varazdin district, north of Zagreb. The Calzedonia Group has been present in Croatia since 1995 with four production plants and around 50 points of sale. To date, the group has invested over 200 million euros in the country, employing over 3,000 people. Active since 2003 in Croatia in the production of electrical components for motors, the Ducati company has invested around 20 mln euro to date, employing over 200 people. In 2017 it launched new production lines, one of which is dedicated to components for electric motors.
During the mission, Ambassador Trichilo also opened the Italian Design and Brand Exhibition at the Varazdin City Library. The exhibition presents a selection of furniture from leading Italian brands, which highlight the ability to combine the elegance of 'Made in Italy' with sustainable production.
Panels from the Italian Brand Museum in Naples dedicated to the evolution of well-known Italian brands are also on display. Finally, the mission was an opportunity to visit the Mayor of Varazdin and the director of the Baroque Music Festival, with whom it was agreed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation. On Wednesday, the performance of Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda with the Aterballetto company will be staged at the Festival.
