Lonvita has acquired a 68% stake in Health Italia
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.

The entrepreneurial project, led by Giuliani and Pellegrino, is designed to further enhance the company’s assets and leverage the expertise of Health Italia’s management team, strengthening the distribution platform and expanding the offering through targeted investments in marketing and technology.
