Luna Rossa has announced that Unipol has renewed its trust in the team and will accompany it as an official sponsor for the duration of the 38th America’s Cup.

United by a highly innovative approach, the challenger and the insurance-financial group are two Italian excellences that face challenges by focusing on high performance, leadership, technology, and sustainability. In light of the renewed partnership, Unipol will also make its technical and innovative know-how available to the team, in its role as insurance partner.

With a strong focus on developing future generations, both Luna Rossa and Unipol have built winning teams by valuing individuals in an inclusive environment and supporting their growth through choices based on teamwork and merit. Luna Rossa and Unipol also share a belief in the educational value of sport and its fundamental importance for the individual and social development of young people.

Always sensitive to environmental issues, they are also committed to the protection of the oceans and actively support the ecological transition in favor of the planet.

"We are happy to have Unipol by our side once again for the 38th America’s Cup. The renewal of this partnership is strategic for our challenge," said Max Sirena, Skipper and Team Director of Luna Rossa. "Unipol is a historic Italian company that has established its leadership by promoting a culture of innovation through sustainable and efficient business management. The renewed collaboration is part of an important shared journey aimed at clear and ambitious goals for the future."
