CANTIERE DELLE MARCHE
ANCONA (AN)
2021
In collaboration with
Barbara Ermeti
This book marks an important milestone for Cantiere delle Marche. It celebrates the tenth anniversary through a volume that stands as a testament to the company’s history and offers a snapshot of the shipyard’s intense activity. The book aims to trace the passionate involvement of many clients, the creativity of the designers who worked on the numerous projects, and the commitment of all employees and suppliers.
The book brings together a miscellany of data and perspectives, a collection of stories about boats and people, organised into ten chapters — ten, like the years since the founding of CdM — that articulate the shipyard’s vision and its approach to building Explorer yachts.
DECALOGUE
The monograph is structured into ten chapters, conceived to help the shipyard better define its own perimeter. Each chapter brings together a specific type of content, united by a theme selected on the basis of the company’s core values.
