Italy’s most recognizable companies

Italy is home to some of the most recognizable brands in the world. One of the largest companies on the Milan Stock Exchange is the luxury carmaker Ferrari – although high share price is perhaps based more on their brand identity than their underlying sales, given Ferrari’s global revenue is many times lower than the revenue of the world’s largest car manufacturers. Also among Italy’s largest companies is drinks manufacturer Campari. Aside from their titular liqueur, Campari’s brands also include well-known alcoholic drinks like Frangelico, Grand Marnier and Wild Turkey.
