Over the past 15 years, Michele Ravizza has become an essential figure in the pool export sector, working with the I.M.C. for the development and promotion of our EuroSpaPoolNews magazine. This article provides the opportunity to salute him and to thank him for his contribution over all these years.

It all began at the Barcelona show in 2007, where Michele discovered EuroSpaPoolNews. A few weeks later, from his home in Prague, he contacted Loïc Biagini, the founder of the magazine, who came to visit him to study together the possibilities of his collaboration. The epic began the following year! Since then he has never ceased to develop our presence, first in his native Italy, and then in the Czech Republic and the neighbouring countries, as well as in Spain.

Thanks to his expertise and deep knowledge of the markets, Michele developed the influence of EuroSpaPoolNews beyond Europe, including the United States, the Mid-East and China. His vision and analyses of export markets were very highly appreciated by our customers, who knew they could count on his well-informed perspective.

The evolutions of communication methods and digitalisation have led us, by mutual agreement, to conclude our collaboration at the end of 2024. Even though our professional paths are diverging, we will continue to exchange ideas with him.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for his contribution and for the moments we have shared over the years.
