Broletto Corporate Advisory

What Broletto Corporate Advisory does

Broletto Corporate Advisory S.r.l. is an independent Italian boutique corporate finance advisory firm headquartered in Milan (Via del Lauro 14, 20121) with a secondary office in Bologna. Founded in 2021 by Andrea Scarsi together with co-founder Lorenzo Minoli and equity partners Rosario Sciacca and Federico Cappa, the firm is built around four Managing Partners whose prior careers span UBS, Oaklins, Equita SIM's mid-cap advisory practice, Tamburi Investment Partners, and Asia-based M&A boutiques. The firm employs approximately 15-20 professionals across senior director, manager, associate, and analyst levels and operates two legal entities: Broletto Corporate Advisory S.r.l. (core advisory) and Broletto Sustainable Finance S.r.l. (created via the October 2022 acquisition of 91% of Bologna-based Finlab Srl).

The firm's revenue model is professional services, monetized through advisory retainers and transaction success fees across six service modules: M&A Advisory, Debt & Grant Advisory (with subsidized finance instruments), IPO Advisory, LBO Advisory, Internationalization, and Business Strategy & Planning. Customer segments are primarily Italian family-owned businesses and entrepreneurs in the mid-market, with secondary service to international investors, financial sponsors, and industrial groups seeking Italian deal flow. Distribution is exclusively direct, partner-led advisory engagements, supported by referral pipelines from the firm's exclusive Italian membership in REACH Cross-Border M&A (a network of 24 advisory firms across 30 countries with 1,800+ completed transactions and €60B+ in cumulative deal value), ELITE/Euronext Group membership (joined 2025), and AssoNEXT affiliation.

Broletto is developing a proprietary IT platform intended to deliver market analysis, competitor mapping, opportunity scouting, real-time dossier monitoring, secure document library access, and periodic automated valuation reporting to clients. The firm communicates via LinkedIn, press coverage in Il Sole 24 Ore, Milano Finanza, Mergermarket, and Corriere della Sera, a monthly/bimonthly 'Broletto Meteo' newsletter, and the annual REACH M&A conference hosted in Milan. Notable 2024-2026 engagements include the Otofarma IPO on Euronext Growth Milan (Best IPO 2025, AssoNext Awards), Caffo 1915's acquisition of Cinzano/Frattina from Campari, the UBV/ISL Nardi €260M logistics combination, Padoan's 65% sale to Interpump, and sell-side mandates for Myes, Bilingual British School, Trafilerie San Paolo, and Bolaffi.
