AI-generated summary
Francesco Bruni participated in the 2024 America's Cup in Barcelona with Luna Rossa before moving to the technical sector.
A coup in prospect of the America's Cup for the Swiss Tudor Team Alinghi who have closed an agreement with Luna Rossa for the passage of helmsman Francesco Bruni. The Italian association announced the news in a short press note in which it wished the seven-time world champion "the best for this new adventure". With Luna Rossa a chapter therefore ends for Bruni which saw him among the protagonists in Barcelona in the 2024 edition of the America's Cup before taking on a new role within the team becoming part of the technical sector.
With Alinghi, however, Bruni will once again be at the center of the project because, as stated in a social post published by the Swiss team, he will play the role of helmsman and skipper. "I am really excited to join one of the most iconic teams in the America's Cup and eager to return to the helm to contribute to the team's performances" are the first words of Bruni who thanks Luna Rossa "for giving me the opportunity to make this move".
"Many of my new teammates - adds the helmsman - I know them very well and respect them: I'm excited to start working with them".
Great satisfaction also from Ernesto Bertarelli, owner of Alinghi who comments: "I am grateful to Luna Rossa for agreeing to Francesco's transfer. He is an exceptionally talented helmsman, with an energy and enthusiasm that will lift everyone around him. I am happy to welcome him to the team". Bruni will therefore move to Naples, where Alinghi will begin sailing with its AC75 in the waters of the Gulf starting from December.
