Two years of global pandemic and associated supply chain crises have thrown Europe's transport industry under the spotlight - and the industry is set for major growth. This is especially true in Italy, where the freight and logistics market is forecast to grow by 4% annually between 2022 and 2027, as global demand for top-quality European products rises, while a renewed emphasis on secure supply chains funnels more traffic through Europe. Italsempione, a leading freight and logistics provider with a deep history in the country, will continue to keep pace.

Pietro Vavassori

CEO

Founded in 1955 and originally starting as customs broker specialized in foodstuff, Italsempione is today one of the leaders in the forwarding sector in Italy offering the full range of shipping services along with tailored solutions to meet every specific need of cargo transport. The company launched its roadfreight groupage activities in Europe in the 70s and went global in 1992 with the implementation of Air& Sea services. With a network which now reaches every corner of the world - according to CEO Pietro Vavassori Italsempione is a giant among small companies, and a small company among giants, meaning it occupies a unique position in the market.

One of the reasons we could become bigger is that we can offer all types of services to our customers. In addition to general cargo shipments by truck, train, air and sea, we also have a strong experience in some niches; we do perishables, we do fashion, we do wine, we do cargo project which is business normally done by the big international companies, but we compete with them thanks to our flexibility and attention to customers he explained.

Jesse Williams

FOR HOTEL COSTIERA, JESSE WILLIAMS WAS DRAWN TO MAKING “SOME- thing that’s global.” The new Prime Video series stars Williams as Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who returns home to Italy to work at a hotel, only to find himself tasked with finding the missing daughter of the hotel’s owner. While he has “no complaints” filming in Positano paradise, “I tried to stay rela- tively disciplined, but I ate a lot of pasta and bread.” Of the character, he related to his duality. “I don’t really say I’m half anything,” he notes. “That has to have found itself stewing in something Daniel De Luca is dealing with.” The series represents a new phase for Williams, taking creative control as a producer. “It certainly feels good...to bet on you in the same way you're trying to bet on your- self.” After leaving his role on Grey’s Anatomy, his first move was a deliberate challenge, Broadway, and now this, raising the stakes by creating an original show. “Like, it’s really trying to forge something new in a space.” But ultimately, it’s all about the process. “I love the collaboration that exists in our business.”
