More detailed information about the elected leaders of ANFAO and MIDO

A brief overview of the new ANFAO Executive Committee and MIDO Board of Directors We said that renewal, involvement and transparency are the key words at the basis of the new program prepared by reappointed President Cirillo Marcolin and new Vice president Giovanni Vitaloni.   The term renewal encompasses the concept of enhancing the good that has been done to date by the Association and by MIDO, but primarily it means bringing innovative ideas. This is precisely what we hope will happen with the entry of new ANFAO and MIDO leaders who represent companies that had not directly participated in association life, until now.   ANFAO COUNCIL   Helping Cirillo Marcolin and Giovanni Vitaloni in their work are the four reelected Vice presidents of the previous two-year term, whose expertise and experience of the sector will be at the service of ANFAO and MIDO. Maurizio Dessolis, Vice president of De Rigo Vision, a company that has made continual research, high standards of quality and operating and distribution efficiency its guidelines since 1978; Callisto Fedon, President of Fedon Giorgio e Figli S.p.A., the world leader for the manufacture and sale of eyewear cases and accessories for the optical sector in Italy and abroad; Paolo Pettazzoni, Managing Director of Optovista, one of the major Italian companies specializing in the creation, manufacture and sale of ophthalmic lenses; Renato Sopracolle, President of Occhialeria Sopracolle, a company that has achieved an important position in technology and contract manufacturing.   ANFAO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Elena Berton, Managing Director of Arlecchino, Carlo Costan Dorigon, Managing Director of Gatto Astucci, Antonio De Silvestro, Product Manager at Di Esse, Andrea Valmassoi  (Trevi Coliseum) and Gianni Vetrini, President of Barberini, who are now veterans of the Anfao Executive Committee, have been joined by the replacements for resigning members.
