On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Moto Guzzi on 20 May, the President of the Republic of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, was presented with two new Moto Guzzi V85TT vehicles for the Corazzieri Regiment at the Palazzo del Quirinale.

On 22 July Immsi S.p.A. announced that Pietra S.r.l. (77.78% owned by Immsi and 22.22% by Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.) had signed an preliminary agreement with Polifin S.p.A. (a holding company owned by the Bosatelli family) for sale of all its shares in Pietra Ligure S.r.l. for a total of 30 million euro.

In the Industrial Sector, the Piaggio Group will continue with completion of the launch of 11 two-wheeled models planned for 2021, and everything necessary for the more significant investments announced at the start of the year, such as the new E-mobility department, the new plant in Indonesia and complete renovation of the Moto Guzzi production site and museum. In the Naval Sector, despite continuing uncertainty, advances in production work on contracts will continue as well as commercial operations in all the company's areas of business. Intermarine is also involved in a number of negotiations, in the Defence sector in particular, to win new orders that would enable it to expand its order book and consequently guarantee conditions allowing it to optimise its production capacity over the coming years. The company will also pursue every opportunity to contain direct and indirect costs. In the Real Estate and Tourism-Hospitality Sector a gradual return to normality is expected, and the Is Molas S.p.A. subsidiary is therefore moving ahead with commercial operations to identify possible domestic and international buyers.
