Corrado Ferlaino

Corrado Ferlaino (born 18 May 1931) is an Italian engineer and building contractor, known for being the former owner of Napoli for 32 non-continuous years.

[2] In 1942, Ferlaino moved to Fermo with his mother to escape the bombing taking place in Napoli during World War II.

[4] After completing his degree in civil engineering at the University of Bari, Ferlaino establishes his own construction company, starting to build houses in the Vomero and Arenella districts, before gradually expanding his business on other Italian residential areas.

[8] In 1969, he expanded his financial involvement by spending ₤70 million to buy 33% of the club from Antonio Corcione, who had recently died.

[1] Under his management, the club experienced one of the most successful spells of its history in the 1980s, when – also thanks to the performances of Diego Maradona on the pitch – Napoli won two Serie A titles (1986–87 and 1989–90), the 1986–87 Coppa Italia, the 1988–89 UEFA Cup, and the 1990 Supercoppa Italiana.
