Milan, Aug 4 (LaPresse) – "Balocco SpA, along with all its employees and collaborators, announces with immense sorrow the passing of Alessandra Balocco, President and CEO of the company, which occurred today." This was stated in a note by the Piedmontese confectionery group. "Alessandra, 61 years old, had led the company since 2022. She had been part of the company since the 1990s, working alongside her father Aldo and brother Alberto, and was a guiding figure for the entire group. She contributed with total dedication, determination, and expertise to the growth and consolidation of the company in Italy and international markets," the company recalls.
The Board of Directors, made up of Ruggero Costamagna, Marco Costamagna, Diletta Balocco, Assunta Pinto, and Gianfranco Bessone, will continue to develop the company "faithfully following the example and guidelines set by Alessandra." The company "expresses its closeness to the family during this time of great sorrow and joins the mourning of the Fossano community and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with her. The funeral will take place privately."
