From these visionary ideas, Michele Autuori managed to expand his activities in the Mediterranean thanks to his experience of mercantile cabotage between ports in Sicily and throughout the southern bourbon, and the advent of the first steamships.

The company was founded in 1871 by Michele Autuori, born in Cetara, a small village in the province of Salerno. Michele Autuori Shipping & Forwarding Agency, among the oldest in Italy, always has been managed by the Autuori family in Salerno; and works with their services in the maritime transport sector for the army, trade and industry. Maritime transport competence combined with great attention to necessary investments for the development of port infrastructures, provide the solid background on which the company is founded and on which it based its growth.

Since World War II the company combined commitment and Michele Autuori, he was born in 1900, with the Salerno port expansion thanks to tireless partnerships among politics, journalism and essay writing.

Today’s port structure expansion, completed at the beginning of the 1980’s, resulted in availability of new areas. These provide basis for current great trade development, consolidating the importance of the port in shipping business, and development in maritime transport, as well as providing international and local companies, as advocated in many essays and by Michele Autuori.

The port of Salerno development still is followed with same passion and commitment from fifth generation Autuori family members. The family remains aware of the enormous importance of an adequate strategic and functional infrastructure for current port business that also contains solid foundation for future prospects.

“Our strengths remain the vision of sea as an unequalled resource for social, cultural and economic development.” - Michele Autuori
