John Elkann omaggia Marchionne: "Un amico, mi hai insegnato a non avere paura"

John Elkann pays homage to Marchionne: "A friend, you taught me not to be afraid" "He said he was a metalworker, he taught us to think differently" (Turin). "I learned, being close to you, Sergio, over many years, that life has no end point, beyond which there is nothing. The tenacity with which you pursued a path that only you saw and opened, pulling yourself along with your enthusiastic companions. You said: "I am a metalworker", aware that alone you would not have reached the goals you cut. What struck me about you, Sergio, from the beginning, were your human qualities, your generosity and your way of understanding others. For me, you were a person with whom I could compare myself, someone I could trust. Above all, a friend. Sergio, you taught all of us to think differently, to have the courage to change and to do. To not be afraid. Dear friend, go in peace". With these words John Elkann remembered Sergio Marchionne during the commemoration for the death of the former CEO of FCA, Friday morning in the Cathedral of Turin. (Andrea Eusebio/alanews)
