Assomac mourns Mario Pucci
Italian leather and footwear machinery manufacturers’ association Assomac has announced the death of Mario Pucci, the organisation’s head of communications and international activities. His funeral took place in Florence on June 4.

In a statement, Assomac offered its condolences to Mr Pucci’s wife, Antonella, their daughter, Chiara, and their grandson, Andrea.

Mario Pucci settled in Vigevano in the 1970s and worked on a local paper before bringing his communications professionalism to Assomac in the 1980s, soon after the association’s launch.

He travelled widely and said India, in particular, always held a special place in his heart.

Current Assomac president, Mauro Bergozza, said Mr Pucci had a passion for building relationships with industry contacts across the world and had approached every aspect of work with skill and seriousness.
