Change at the top of Comelit Group: Silvia Brasi is the new President.
On Thursday 23 July 2020, an important change in the top management of Comelit Group S.p.A. was made official. The shareholders’ meeting in fact appointed Silvia Brasi as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Edoardo Barzasi as Vice-Chairman and Managing Director and Fabio Brasi, Head of Logistics Working Capital, Demetrio Trussardi, Sales Director for Italy, and from this year also Alberto Lazzari, Comelit’s Purchasing Director, as managing directors.
This is how Silvia Brasi, former Vice-President of Comelit, comments, not without emotion, on the decision taken by the shareholders’ meeting to appoint her as Chairman of the Board of Directors while retaining her functions as head of the company’s human resources.

Silvia Brasi was born, grew up and still lives in Clusone, she is married and has 2 children, Martina aged 25 and Matteo aged 22. After graduating in Economics and Commerce in Bergamo, she joined Comelit in 1996, first in the foreign office and then in the fledgling marketing office, up to human resources, an activity she is still responsible for today.
“I am very flattered by the choice made by the shareholders. I am the first member of the second generation of Comelit’s founders to take on the presidency of the company.
It is a great responsibility for me, especially at a difficult time for the world economy, due to the crisis brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has particularly affected our province. But I take it on with great enthusiasm and passion. First of all because I can count on an extremely cohesive Board of Directors and a management team and numerous collaborators full of passion and enthusiasm, Comelit’s intrinsic strength. And then because I am convinced that our company has the resources to react, as it is already doing, and to return to the trend of growth and continuous expansion that has distinguished us in recent years. People are the most important resource we can and want to count on to return to looking positively and courageously to tomorrow.
For me, Comelit has been a sort of second home, in which my father has always invested his energy. On Saturday mornings, when we were little, he would take my sister and me to the company. And while he did his work, my sister and I would play in the warehouse”.

Outgoing President Gianni Lazzari, one of Comelit’s founders, was instead appointed Past President.
“On behalf of all shareholders and the entire Board of Directors,” Silvia Brasi concludes, “I would like to thank with great affection, esteem and gratitude for the great contribution that Gianni Lazzari, one of the founding fathers, has made to Comelit’s development.”
