The Simonelli Story – a conversation with Marco Feliziani
About this episode
In today’s episode, we catch up with Marco Feliziani, CEO of iconic Italian coffee equipment manufacturer, Simonelli Group.
Founded in 1936 by Orlando Simonelli, the company grew under the leadership of Marco’s father, who helped drive its early international expansion. Today, Simonelli Group operates in over 135 countries and encompasses three key brands – Nuova Simonelli, Victoria Arduino, and 3Temp.
In this deeply personal conversation, Marco reflects on the values and lessons passed down from his father, and how that legacy continues to shape the business today. He also shares how coffee technology is becoming more intuitive, amplifying barista craft and creativity, and why, in his words, “the future of coffee is being written now."
