Family is hands on.
The Vardaro family runs Group Artitalia, which makes display fixtures and cabinets that stores use to showcase products. It's often not easy for brothers to work together in a family business, unless they apply lessons learned early in life. Equally important, during the company's formative years, the four brothers agreed that each would have a clearly defined role in the company. Such an approach lessens the chances for the kind of messy disputes that often overtake family businesses, leading to imbroglios and court battles. His widow, Assunta, remains an equal shareholder, but she takes no active part in the business.
