March 21, 2022
On Saturday, 83-year-old Michele D' Amato, the owner of Torre del Greco, founder of the family company Brothers D' Amato and then creator in 1990 of his D' Amato di Navigation with his wife Rita and his children, Maddalena, Gianfranca and Umberto, died. "I am in mourning for the loss of a great lord of Italian shipping," said Italian President Mario Mattioli, president of the Italian Confederation of Shipships. With Michele D' Amato, he disappears an armor and a dear friend, an exponent of the history of our industry who has played an important role in the Italian armour. " "We Will Miss all of us," he added, "his gentle ways and his elegance permeated with that humorous spirit all departing that accompanied his skills as a great entrepreneur and acquaintance of the maritime world."
Michele D' Amatè was an adviser to Confitarma and Chairman of the Navi Technical Committee, chairman of the Rine Advisory Technical Committee and a member of the technical committees of American Bureau of Shipping and the Bureau Veritas. For the particular technical preparation and capacity in the field of armament, he was given an honorary degree from the Parthenope University of Naples.
