Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni was an outstanding business leader, a Count by birth, the Ambassador for the Order of Malta at its embassy in Kenya, and an aviator who gave of his time freely. He used to ski competitively before moving to South Africa, where he found new passions – flying, hunting and scuba diving. As head of Ursus Telecom he said “Where there is a monopoly, there is opportunity”. His career spanned international banking, marketing Benetton’s Formula One team and farming. He descended from an Italian noble family. When he was 10, his father died and he inherited the title of Count.
