In memory of Maria Luisa Pramaor

Thanks to Maria Luisa Pramaor, the Blackfin company was founded in 1971. As the eighteenth employee of Luxottica, when the leading multinational in the sector was still a small company in the mountains of Belluno, Maria Luisa had the intuition and ability to embark on a professional path that made her one of the first female entrepreneurs in the region and in the eyewear sector. Life presented her with many challenges, which she always met with her innate optimism. Maria Luisa was a guide for her employees and her family. "It's important to be a good role model," she used to say.

Nicola Del Din, CEO of Blackfin, offers touching words on the death of his mother and Blackfin founder Maria Luisa Pramaor: "We at Blackfin will remember her smile, her determination and her polite manner, from which emanated a gentle determination that knew that nothing is left to chance and that life, in whatever form, is beautiful. It fills me with deep sadness to announce the sudden death of my mother, Maria Luisa Pramaor, founder of our company. She was not only my extraordinary and warm mother; she was the epitome of positivity, energy and determination, in the best of health, optimistic beyond measure, deeply in love with life and always with a far-sighted view of the future. I know that these words can often be seen as empty phrases, but those who have been lucky enough to know her know that they describe her in her most authentic essence. We have lost our shining star, the light that illuminated our path. Her legacy lives on in us, and from now on we will be even more committed and put all our passion into everything we do to honor her memory and her invaluable example. I know she would expect us to respond with strength and determination, and we will. For you, Maria.
