encouragement to be proud of the person you are very dear to me

RAVASINI ROBERTO
Global Outlet Merchandiser - Versace Italy
When I was asked to share my thoughts on the theme of Diversity &
Inclusion, I immediately thought to retrace my personal history of growth
and work, within our company. From the small outlet store located in my
native land, Emilia, I had the precious opportunity to move to Milan and
work in the headquarters. This change of life, that I strongly desired, allowed
me to become part of the big LGBTQ community in Milan. Little by little,
the stories told in the pages of Pier Vittorio Tondelli's books have become
reality, lived first-hand or simply seen with my own eyes. Being myself,
expressing my ideas openly and being supported in doing so, has become a privilege. I currently play a
role in a global context within our organization and for this I am grateful to Capri Holding. Working in an
international environment allows me to meet people with origins and cultural backgrounds different from
mine. I have the ability to open my mind to diversity and embrace ideas and points of view that I had never
considered. In this working context, I am proud that Capri Holding helps to build a common awareness on
the issue of Inclusion and Diversity.
