MEMORY OF MARIO BIANCHI

Mario Bianchi: “The Man and the Sea”.

 

Mario Bianchi was universally known in the fishing and fish trade circles in the city of Sanremo and in Liguria. His was the career of a "self-made man", from shipboy to sailor, from fisherman to merchant and entrepreneur.

He began after the war as a hub on the yachts of the port of Genoa, and then returned to Sanremo and dedicated himself to professional fishing on small boats and to transporting vacationers to the sea. His innate entrepreneurial skills and profound knowledge of the sector pushed him towards the trade of fish products, first in the San Martino fish market and then in Piazza Bresca, a place that also thanks to him became the center of the city's fish trade.

In the seventies he founded "Sanremo Pesca SpA" which, in a short time, established itself as a point of reference in the national and international fishing sector and, in the headquarters of Corso Marconi, dozens of people find work who still remember him for his gruff character, the absolute inflexibility on the work which he dedicates himself day and night and which he applies to himself before others, but also to humanity and generosity.

After a period of rest due to poor health, he resumed his activity by founding another company, "Sanremo Mare srl", not disdaining to take care of his beloved sea even as a simple sailor on his boat, pleasure craft for fun. and deep sea sport fishing, continues to follow the events of the national and international fishing sector until the end.

Mario Bianchi died on Thursday 5 August 2010. He leaves behind his wife, two children and four grandchildren, whom he loved in return. His life has always been closely linked to the city of Sanremo, but above all his life was lived in function and in symbiosis with the sea.
