Perini Navi’s is a story that has been thrilling the nautical world and beyond for over a year and a half. It was December 2019 when strong rumors began to spread about the serious financial crisis that saw the Viareggio shipyard as a protagonist. Rumors unfortunately confirmed by the facts that, between a twist and the other, led to the sad ending of the bankruptcy, decreed by the Court of Lucca and confirmed just over a month ago by the Court of Appeal of the Court of Florence, to which he had made appeal Fenix, holding company of the Tabacchi family which held the majority of the Viareggio shipyard, and Lamberto Tacoli, who was CEO and president.
