Overview

• Maison Armani confirmed the acquisition of La Capannina di Franceschi, the nearly century-old Forte dei Marmi venue.
• The deal ends almost 48 years of Guidi family stewardship following the October 2024 death of Gherardo Guidi.
• Operational control is slated for the summer 2026 season, with a stated intent to preserve the venue’s identity while renewing its appeal.
• No sale price was disclosed, and some outlets report unconfirmed estimates of about €12 million.
• The club recently faced temporary closures in 2023–24 for public-order incidents, adding context to the transition at a site long regarded as a cultural touchstone.
