This is the fourth edition of a detailed survey that rewards the excellences of the Italian economy that, despite a very difficult macroeconomic framework, are recording remarkable development.

LEVANTE RACE OF CHAMPIONS: AUTOARGENTIERO SPA RACING WITH F1 DRIVER GIOVINAZZI
A kart endurance race was held on 22 December in which F1 driver Giovinazzi took part. It was an occasion for the Binetto Circuit to celebrate its 30th anniversary and for us a truly unmissable event in which we participated as premium sponsor.
To embellish the 30th anniversary of the Levante Circuit, now managed by the driver and event organiser Ivan Pezzolla, Giovinazzi, Michele Pirro, Alex De Angelis, Antonio Fuoco, Emiliano Perucca, Edoardo Vercellesi, Matteo Bobbi, Ettore Bassi and many other exponents of motorsport, sports journalism and show business.
It was really exciting to see amateur and professional drivers competing against each other at the same time and on the same circuit, racing on 400 cc single-gear karts with the Auto Argentiero name in evidence in the 4-hour endurance karting race.
In between the hectic and frenetic sessions, there was no shortage of autographs and fan photos with Giovinazzi, the event's real guest star, and with all the other F1 and Moto GP drivers.
We are very proud to have taken part in the event in such a prominent context for the world of racing and with such prestigious partners. Events like this bring Puglia to be recognised as an area of excellence at national level, thanks also and above all to the remarkable and concrete commitment of all partners and institutions.
For us, it was an opportunity to breathe in the true passion of sport and the adrenaline of competition.

AUTO ARGENTIERO SPA, THE STORY OF A GREAT FAMILY
This is the story of a great family, born from the vision and stubbornness of Pietro Argentiero and the determination of his sons Donato, Domenico and Flavio, who, with their passion, today continue to write important pages of the family business with renewed enthusiasm and unconditional dedication. It all started in 1978 in a small village in the province of Brindisi, Ceglie Messapica, in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, from a used car dealership. "We were faced with an opportunity but at the same time with a challenge," the three partners recount, "but above all with the privilege of being able to play with large numbers and with a name growing out of a rib of a historic car dealership that was well-known in the 1980s throughout Apulia."
The three-year period 2015-2018 was a harbinger of important results in terms of turnover growth, which seems to have been followed by an even more generous year. What is your assessment?
"We strongly believe that the growth that has seen us as protagonists is not the result of a magic formula, but the sum of a process, a strategy, and the strength of the family union that distinguishes us. A true mindset that has driven us to make decisions based on data, to experiment continuously. Over the last five years of great crisis in the car market (and beyond), in our organisation we have invested heavily in innovation in internal processes and customer relations.
What were the key milestones that marked the year 2019? "The opening of a new location in 2019 contributed to the development of the business in the used car sector and allowed the company to stand out in the whole of southern Italy. If with the first location we invested in what for us is a true 'temple' of the car, as the architecture best celebrates our car fleet in an unusual location, with the opening of the second location we wanted to firmly demonstrate our desire to continue investing in the territory that gave birth to our Company. The opening represented a way to diversify and stratify the model offer and to meet the needs of the local public with a wider and more targeted offer".
Auto Argentiero S.p.A. shareholders
2019 also opened with another really important step for your Company, which saw its transformation into a joint stock company. "The birth of the S.p.A. marks an important milestone with which to celebrate goals and achievements in economic and financial terms. Once again, the transformation was an obligatory path to respond firmly to the profound changes that the evolution of the business has imposed on us over the years.

The recognition came from the German Institute of Quality and Finance ITQF and La Repubblica-Affari e Finanza , which presented the 'Champions of Growth 2020' study in Italy: a detailed survey that rewards the 300 companies in the country that have achieved the highest rate of expansion and increase in turnover over the three-year period.
Auto Argentiero Spa, a leader in the automotive sector, was selected from an initial list of over 10,000 of the most competitive 'virtuous' companies based on the average annual growth recorded.
The research was published in the insert of 'La Repubblica' - 'Affari e Finanza' on 30 September 2019
Donato Argentiero, Vice President of Auto Argentiero SpA, commented: "Being included in this prestigious ranking for us is a great recognition of the work done over the years. We are proud to represent a cross-section of Italy that is growing, creating wealth and new jobs. We have been operating in the automotive sector in Italy for almost 40 years and are recognised by the national market for being among the most dynamic and social multi-brand dealers".
"The 'Champions of Growth' seal," Argentiero continues, "is further proof of our commitment and an incentive to always do better. We are very optimistic about the future of the automotive sector in Italy at a time of enormous evolution that sees the world of electrics and hybrids as the protagonists of another exciting challenge that still poses too many questions and unresolved issues. On the other hand, it offers opportunities that are impossible to ignore. In this field, too, we want to secure a leading position and have started to introduce both hybrid and electric cars in our fleet. It is the same for every sector: it is difficult to say now which technology will be the winner in the future. However, we think that conventional cars still have a long way to go.
