History
emilia
It was designed by Attilio Costaguta as a 12-Metre International Rule yacht, a gift from Senator Giovanni Agnelli to his son-in-law Nasi. His sudden departure for South America led to the sale of the hull to the Bruzzone family and to the conversion of the rig into a Marconi schooner. Christened Emilia in honor of Attilio Bruzzone’s mother, she took part in the cruising regattas of that era for about ten years, achieving good results.
In 1940, she was sold to banker Alfredo Coppola, who kept her in perfect condition. Upon his death (in the 1970s), she became the property of Giorgio Trani, and in 1988 the yacht underwent a complete restoration at the Beconcini shipyard, based on a design by Ugo Faggioni.
Then, ten years later, she underwent another restoration on the French Riviera, until in 2005 she was returned to her original rig and fitted with a complete set of Zaoli sails.

La voce dell’armatore
“Love at first sight for a historic racing yacht doesn’t always happen— but with Emilia, it did. Bringing her back to the top of the leaderboard with Beppe Zaoli’s guidance and his sails was truly exhilarating.”
“Valter Pizzoli“
