Entrepreneurial activity

In 2014 he became CEO: his father, Carlo, is a decisive figure for Orsini. The different visions of the company’s future led him to resign, only to be called back by his father, who entrusted him with the company.

Listening, dialogue, territory, are the key words and values ​​that he also translated into practice in the national vice-presidency for Credit, Finance and Taxation, held in the four years of the Bonomi presidency. A commitment that Orsini carried out across the board, in the difficult phase of the pandemic, concentrated on the need to provide liquidity to companies, in that difficult economic circumstance: companies were able to take advantage of 300 billion euros in financing, with 2.8 million euros of operations and 140 billion in moratoriums. Without forgetting a long-term vision of industrial policy, which in any case requires resources to make investments.
