From Riccardo and Alessandra Cavanna:

It is with deep sorrow in our hearts that we have to announce the death of our founder, Mario Cavanna, this morning, July 8, at 8.00 am.

He left us serenely after a long illness he always fought with his courage and, until he could, he supported us in the factory with his advice and his view to the future.
In this sad moment, following his example will give us the strength to look ahead.

Our family keeps together, the company strong and consistent and we will face the future even with great strength and resolution. According to our father’s will, the company will not close. We will have time on Saturday to remember him and give way to the emotions.

A prayer and thank you to all the people close to us.

 

Services:

The funeral service will take place on Saturday 11th July at 15.00 in the church in Prato Sesia (NO). The rosary will take place on Friday at 20.30 in the church in Prato Sesia.
