December 2025 — The investment vehicle Lonvita S.p.A. has acquired a 68% stake in Health Italia S.p.A. as part of an entrepreneurial project promoted by Giovanni Giuliani and Stefano Pellegrino in the supplementary healthcare sector. The deal includes the launch of a mandatory public offer for the remaining shares of Health Italia, with the objective of delisting the company.
