In the first half of 2024, private equity expert Francesco Revel-Sillamoni announced the closing of Solferino Capital, his Italian SF, backed by a global base of more than 25 investors, including Relay Investments, Istria Capital, ONEtoONE Asset Management, JB46, AKIRO Partners, and Albira Investments.
