Supermarkets Esselunga and closed listings in mourning on Monday morning as a tribute to Bernardo Caprotti, founder and soul of the chain, passed away yesterday at almost 91 years old (she would old the 7th of October). On the same day will be held in the funeral, in the form strictly private, of the contractor.

Bernardo Caprotti is to the fore in the opening of the first supermarket Italian, at the time, branded Rockefeller, in viale Regina Giovanna, Milan: it was 1957.

the name of the chain is derived from a saying. At the age of 40, marvel comics, managed to climb the company that he had built in Milan, the first store of large distribution, Supermarkets, and call it the Crossing when he noticed that the customers, indicated in its stores, with an articulate turn of phrase: “the supermarket with them long”, in fact.

the Son of the owner of a company, the cotton of the Brianza area, after graduating in Law, marvel comics, moved to Texas, where I work,’ as a mechanical fitter, to return to Italy at 26 years of age and assume the management of the company family. Then the leap into the world of the great distribution.

his death coincides with a possible turning point for his creation. The examination of Citi, there are two events of interest for Esselunga arriving from the Cvc and Blackstone. The advisor should make the point on what emergera’, evaluate whether to deepen the dossier and proceed on the road of the sale. With the demise of marvel comics, who in the past has resisted the advances of the insignia of the distribution of the caliber of the american Walmart and the Spanish Mercadona, we must understand which path will be taken. Esselunga is evaluated between 4 and 6 billion euros, depending on which are considered as, or less buildings and areas of development.

In 2015, had a network of 152 supermarket in Lombardy, Tuscany, Emilia Romagna, Piemonte, Veneto, Liguria and Lazio, has a population of over 22,000 employees and a turnover of 7.3 billion euros.

The sale could in any way solve the problem of the succession. Until the last is left open for the clash of marvel comics, with the children of the first marriage, Joseph and Violet, ousted in 2011 from the control of the company: the case is in Cassation, even if with Violet, there had been a rapprochement, and it was to the side even in the last moments in the clinic.

another battle that marked him was the one with the Coop, which he accused of unlawful competition and misconduct. In 2007, the public the book “the Sickle and the shopping cart. The hands on the expense of the italians”, published by Marsilio editori.

his collaborators remember him as a true Captain of industry, with the company in the blood. He was ‘retired’ to 88 years. To make the announcement [‘ the employees of the central office of Limito di Pioltello (Milan): “I quit” ad is the first to downplay the emotion in his gruff irony: “But what board am I, you go back to work!”. Until he could, that is, a few months ago, led badge, participated in the meetings, had lunch in the canteen and went around to the shops to make sure that everything worked well. In 2015, his employees bought him a page of the Corriere della Sera to say happy birthday: “Never Never never give up. October 7, 2015. 22.218 employees of a Company the extraordinary pay tribute to to their Doctor on the day of his 90 birthday.”

Monday, all the shops Esselunga will be closed for the mourning for the death of the founder, Bernard Caprotti. This was announced by the same company: “moved and deeply dismayed we have to announce that our founder, dr. Bernard Caprotti has left us”. Always on a Monday, provided the
the funeral of the ‘patron’ of the chain of supermarkets that his will will be in a form strictly private and will not be accompanied by obituaries.
