    Sergio Marchionne, the former chairman of Ferrari and CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, has died in a hospital in Switzerland at age 66 after complications from shoulder surgery.

    Marchionne, who was born in Chieti, Italy and raised in Toronto, Ontario, was set to retire next year. He attended the University of Toronto, the University of Windsor and York Univeristy.

    He became an auto legend credited for saving Fiat and Chrysler from bankruptcy and making them into profitable companies. Marchionne, known for his trademark navy blue sweaters, was respected for his confident decision-making and incredible work ethic.

    President of Italy Sergio Mattarella said that Marchionne “wrote an important page in the history of Italian industry."

    Blitz I don't know what kind of point you are trying to make but it most certainly comes off as tasteless and lacking in any class.

    Nick thank you for taking the time to make your post. Sergio Marchionne was a very important part of saving both Fiat and Chrysler and brought a great deal of pride to Canada in the international motoring industry. People like this do not come around often and it was a privilege to observe what he achieved.
