The Group

A holding where solidity
and creativity coexist

Pernigo Group was born from an entrepreneurial journey started in Verona in 1993 by the Pernigo family. It represents today the evolution of over thirty years of activity and development: a diversified portfolio of operating companies, rooted in the territory and oriented towards sustainable growth.

It operates through direct investments and participations in the food, real estate, urban regeneration and hospitality sectors, with the objective of creating sustainable value over the long term.

The Group operates through subsidiary companies distributed across Italy, with particular roots in the Verona area. The holding structure allows capital to be allocated with discipline, organic growth of operating companies to be supported, and selected opportunities consistent with our founding values to be seized.

Doing things well and pursuing excellence: these are the principles that guide every investment decision and every project in the portfolio.

solid roots

To promote the development of solid, authentic and recognisable businesses, capable of generating sustainable value over time, placing people, the enhancement of places, the beauty of details and deep respect for ethics and culture at the centre.
