Francesco Casoli

Executive Chairman at Elica

His professional career as entrepreneur began at a very young age when he joined the family business following the loss of his father Ermanno.

He started to hold the position of CEO in Elica in 1990 and has been Chairman since 2006.

Between 2005 and 2006, he also held the position of Chairman at Assindustria in the province of Ancona.

From 2006 to 2013 was also Senator of the Italian Republic.

He was awarded the title of ‘Cavaliere del Lavoro’ (Order of Merit for Labour) by the president of the Italian Republic in 2017.

A fond cultivator of art, he promoted the International Prize for Contemporary Art ‘Ermanno Casoli’ in 1998, dedicated to the memory of his late father, which gave rise to the homonymous foundation in 2007 that promotes contemporary art and other cultural activities of artistic, musical and literary nature.
