Discover the rich history of our vintage sailing yacht, a masterpiece originally crafted by Attilio Costaguta in adherence to the International Rule of the 12 meters. This vessel, initially a gift from Senator Giovanni Agnelli to his son-in-law Carlo Nasi, underwent a fascinating journey that continues to unfold.
Originally named ‘Emilia’ as a tribute to Attilio Bruzzone’s mother, this sailing icon transitioned through various ownerships and transformations. The Bruzzone family, during their ownership, converted the yacht into a Marconi schooner rigging. Emilia actively participated in numerous cruising regattas, showcasing commendable performance over a decade. In 1940, the stewardship of banker Alfredo Coppola began, ensuring the yacht’s impeccable condition for several decades. Following Coppola’s passing in the 1970s, ownership transferred to Giorgio Trani.
A significant milestone occurred in 1988 when Emilia underwent a comprehensive restoration at the Beconcini shipyard, directed by Ugo Faggioni. A decade later, on the French Riviera, another restoration unfolded, culminating in a nostalgic return to its original rigging in 2005. This transformation was accompanied by the addition of a full set of Zaoli sails, enhancing Emilia’s allure and performance.
Explore the legacy of Emilia, a timeless sailing yacht with a captivating history that spans generations. Each restoration and modification reflects a commitment to preserving its authenticity and ensuring it continues to grace the seas with elegance and prowess.
