Diego Della Valle, the chairman and CEO of Tod’s, is said to finance the restoration of Rome’s Coliseum. Tod’s Group will be financing 25 million euros to renovate the symbolic monument, a project which is to start at end of 2011 and which will take more than two years to be completed.
"A monument that represents Italy in the world must be restored, and a company that represents Made in Italy stepped forward to say, 'If you need us, we are here,'" Della Valle said at a press conference in Italy.
