Claudio Marzocco (born 21 February 1959) is an Italian engineer and businessman. He is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Marzocco Group, one of the leading real estate development companies in Monaco.
In 1983, Marzocco graduated from the University of Padova with a civil engineering diploma and started working as an engineer in the construction sector in Italy. In 1988, he was kidnapped for two weeks by the Calabria-based mafia N'drangheta. The kidnappers demanded a ransom from the Marzocco family, but Claudio Marzocco managed to escape after 15 days of abduction. “A week later, my whole family moved to Monaco where we found security for both ourselves and our business”, he said during an interview with French magazine L’Express.
The Marzocco Group was founded in the 1960s by Domenico Marzocco, father of Claudio Marzocco. The same year Claudio Marzocco was kidnapped, after moving to Monaco, he established the Marzocco Group in Monaco, which was soon oriented as a real estate development company specializing in luxury buildings. The Marzocco group, which is fully owned and managed by members of the Marzocco family, is now considered one of Monaco's leading real-estate development companies. Claudio Marzocco is the current company's Chief Executive Officer. His brothers Paolo and Luca Marzocco, as well as Claudio’s sons Daniele and Niccolò, are also board members.
The Tour Odéon (Odeon Tower) is the tallest building in Monaco and one of the tallest ever built in Europe. It is a 170-meter high double skyscraper located in the neighborhood of La Rousse-Saint-Roman in Monte Carlo. It includes private apartments, business quarters and offices of the Principality public services.
The Tour Odéon project, a 49-storey building, was launched in 2009 and will be inaugurated by the end of 2014. It has been conceived as a full-service luxury building.
The 3,300 square meters (25,521 square feet) penthouse apartment, with its large outdoor swimming-pool, located at the top of the building is the most expensive apartment to ever be put on the market for an asking price of 300 million euros.
