Studio Fusero

What Studio Fusero does

Studio Fusero is an Italian professional advisory firm founded in 1992 and headquartered at Corso Moncalieri 17, Torino, providing strategic consulting, M&A advisory, and generational handover (passaggio generazionale) services to family-owned small and medium enterprises (PMI familiari) primarily in Piedmont and Northwest Italy. Its service portfolio is organized into five core offerings: M&A Advisor (sales, acquisitions, partnerships, and extraordinary operations), Passaggio Generazionale (succession planning, holding structures, family pacts, and trusts), Consulenza Strategica Aziendale (multidisciplinary strategic consulting for startups and established businesses), Business Plan and Controllo di Gestione (economic-financial programming and management control), and Monitoraggio Crisi Impresa (mandatory crisis monitoring under Italian D.Lgs 83/22). The firm operates from Torino, Milano, and Genova and serves entrepreneurs facing succession, exit, sale, or aggregation decisions.

The business is led by founder Giovanni Fusero, a chartered accountant (commercialista), registered auditor, and ADR mediator with over 30 years of experience in family-business succession and SME M&A. Delivery is materially enabled by a 'of counsel' network of 12+ external professionals covering contract law, notary/trust practice, energy-sector legal counsel, family accounting, crisis management, international taxation, and cross-border advisory (Italy, UAE, Switzerland), which the firm assembles into tailored mandates rather than relying solely on in-house staff. No proprietary software, platform, or technology stack is disclosed; revenue is generated through bespoke consulting fees, project-based mandates, and retainer arrangements for ongoing advisory, with pricing quoted per engagement.

The go-to-market is consultative and referral-driven: clients are reached through banking partners (Banca Intesa, Banca Fideuram, Banca Mediolanum), professional network referrals, content marketing via the firm blog, and SEO targeting of regional succession-related keywords. Studio Fusero is privately held with no external investors, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no public funding events.
