The Moratti and Gavio families have acquired stakes in Italian private equity firm Nextalia through their family offices, reinforcing the firm’s position as a leading independent private markets platform in Italy, according to Reuters.

The investment was accompanied by the appointment of Angelomario Moratti and Francesco Vercesi to Nextalia’s board of directors. The Moratti family, known for their historical ties to energy group Saras and Serie A football club Inter Milan, recently sold a 35% stake in Saras to Vitol. The Gavio family controls ASTM, a key operator in Italy’s toll road infrastructure sector.

Nextalia, founded by former Mediobanca and Barclays banker Francesco Canzonieri, continues to gain momentum. Its flagship Nextalia Flexible Capital fund has raised €370m in just three months, surpassing initial targets, with further commitments expected.

The firm is also fundraising for its new credit strategy, Nextalia Credit Solutions, which targets €200m from institutional and professional investors. Leonardo Adessi has been appointed Chief Investment Officer for the credit platform, following a similar structure to Nextalia’s equity operations, where a single CIO oversees fund management activities.

The investment by the Moratti and Gavio families highlights growing confidence in Nextalia’s strategy and its ability to shape Italy’s private equity landscape.
