On the occasion of the Italian challenge LUNA ROSSA CHALLENGE 2007 at 32nd America's Cup, Persico Nautical Division has participated in a basic manner to the production of equipments necessary for the construction of two vessels (ITA 86 and ITA 94) so as to the
construction of the two boats themselves, supporting the team in all technical and productive needs.

The carrying out of the two boats participating in racing is totally occurred within the space of Nautical Division in Nembro (BG), spaces that have been made available to the Luna Rossa Challenge 2007 team for a period of about 2 years and a half.

This construction has used the know-how, design and materials, as well as large CNC milling machines of Nautical Division, in this way it was possible to deal with an innovative technique of achieving the moulds in a direct way (without the need to build any male model) with technologically advanced materials.

This made possible to obtain moulds and boats almost fitting, as regards water lines, together with what was designed and verified by the design team of Luna Rossa.

Inside the establishments of Persico Nautical Division, in early 2008, with the collaboration of Father Verzè, was made a statue of 8.1 m high in fibreglass with an internal structure in steel tubular which was subsequently placed on the dome of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan at 56 m in height.
It was performed a structural finite elements calculation as regards the efforts due to weather conditions (mainly for the wind power reaching 250 km/h).
It 'a statue equipped with sensors for the movements detection; its maximum weight had to be of 3500 kg for problems caused by the equipments for the positioning on the dome, is also equipped with systems to prevent frost in parts more exposed and critical

Persico was the first company to CNC mill bulbs (of lead) and keels (of steel) for boats which subsequently participated in the America's Cup.

Persico is among the companies that could work together in implementing the Bucintoro of the new millennium.
(The Bucentaur – Bucintoro in Venetian - was the state galley of the doges of Venice. It was used every year on Ascension Day up to 1798 to take the doge out to the Adriatic Sea to perform the ceremony of wedding of Venice to the sea.)
