He did the exterior design for Azzam, the 180 m yacht owned by a member of the UAE royal family that is currently the largest privately owned yacht in the world. Mario Pedol has brought Italian competence, entrepreneurship and Italian style to the most beautiful yachts in the world and we are happy to welcome him as an Honorary Member to the Fondazione Altagamma.
