Goodbye to Roberto Rossetto, the Veronese entrepreneur who founded the supermarket chain

He died at the age of 80 years Roberto Rossetto, a Veronese entrepreneur who, together with his brothers, founded the supermarket chain bearing the family name.

It was in fact 1965 when, together with his brothers, he founded the family business. Over the following decades, the group progressively expanded, becoming one of the leading businesses in northern Italy, with almost 3.000 employees and a turnover of 900 million. Today it has 29 stores across Veneto, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna.

For decades, Roberto Rossetto guided the development of the family business, associating his name with a business model founded on attention to customers, employees and the areas in which the group chose to invest. In 2025 he was awarded the “Domus Mercatorum” award as Veronese entrepreneur of the year. The award was presented to him by the Verona Chamber of Commerce during the 45th edition of the ceremony dedicated to commitment to work, economic progress and Veronese work around the world. Roberto Rossetto’s final farewell will take place on Wednesday at 15.30 at the parish church of San Massimo in Verona.
