Life and Career
Moratti is the fourth son of Angelo Moratti, who was the President of Football Club Internazionale Milano during the team's "Golden Age" from 1955 to 1968. His brother's wife Letizia was the Mayor of Milan from 2006-2011.
Born in the family villa in the Bosco Chiesanuova, close to Verona, he graduated from Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli.
On his father's death, he inherited his shares in Saras, a group that is engaged in the refining of petroleum, where he is presently C.E.O. Moratti is also the owner of Sarlux, headquartered in Cagliari, which focuses on the production of electricity from the waste oil.
Married to the environmental activist Emilia Moratti (née Bossi), the couple have five children. On 10 September 2009, Sauro Gori announced that Moratti had been appointed a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.
In May 2011, Moratti supported Giuliano Pisapia's bid to become mayor of Milan against his sister-in-law Letizia. His call for 'change' was perceived as an extension of his rivalry with A.C. Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, from football to the political sphere.

My love for him was the truest thing in my life; but it was still important that I love him with proper effect, that I act loving him with great style, that I achieve the ultimate in wifedom.”
