Alessandro Pirotta, Managing Director South Europe passes the baton to Giovanni Battaglia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giovanni has an Economics Degree and has been working in the Sherwin-Williams organization since 1989. He comes well prepared for the role of South Europe Senior Commercial Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
