The
founder of Nutella died on February 14, 2015, in Monte Carlo (Monaco).
Michele Ferrero, 89, was the father of Nutella, Mon Chéri, Kinder, and
other Rocher products, all made by the Italian company started in Alba
in 1946, in the aftermath of World War II.
Michele
Ferrero, the richest man in Italy with a fortune estimated at $26.8
billion, was also a man of faith – a faith as strong as granite. As he
stated for the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of
the Ferrero Company in 1996, "We owe the success of Ferrero to Our Lady
of Lourdes. Without her, it would not have happened."

In
fact, there is a statue of the Virgin in each of the group's factories
worldwide. Every year, Michele Ferrero would make a pilgrimage to
Lourdes with the company’s senior executives. Visits of the famous
Marian shrine were also organized for employees.
Under
his leadership, Nutella has become one of the world's leading
confectionery, present in 53 countries with over 34,000 employees...
