"Italia" — Flotte Riunite Cosulich-Lloyd Sabaudo-Navigazione Generale Italiana
"Italia" Societa per Azioni di Navigazione
(Italian)
Formed in January 1932 by the consolidation of Cosulich, Lloyd Sabaudo, and Navigazione Generale Italiana Lines.
The company was founded in 1932 through a merger of the Genoa-based Navigazione Generale Italiana (NGI), the Turin-based Lloyd Sabaudo, and the Trieste-based Cosulich STN lines, encouraged by the Italian government. The new company acquired the Cosulich-owned ships Saturnia and Vulcania, the Lloyd Sabaudo-owned Conte Rosso, Conte Biancamano, and Conte Grande, and the NGI-owned Giulio Cesare, Duilio, Roma, and Augustus. The same year, two previously ordered ocean liners were delivered to the company: Rex, which won the Blue Riband in 1933, and Conte di Savoia.
