Aiazzone, the 6 million loft in Monte Carlo and the company in Panama. A former partner’s lawsuit against his daughter

Aiazzone’s motto from the 1980s – “Seeing is believing” – still applies today. The empire is now sold, liquidated, evaporated and with Marcella, one of the three daughters of the inventor of Furniture delivered to your home by Biella (“including islands”), before the Court of Imperia, challenged by a former business partner, Mario Falchi. At stake is half a million euros, which the woman – this is the demand in the summons – owes the man, protected by the lawyer Antonio Maio. And here we have to “prove” (the thesis) and who knows, “believe” (the words).

Hence the cause. It was only another half-secret when Falchi himself, a sculptor and entrepreneur with good connections in Monte Carlo, negotiated the deal for a luxury restaurant on the port of Ventimiglia, which had already fallen into the principality’s interests.
