Arno Leopard (Cantiere Navale Arno)
Pisa-area builder of fast planing motor yachts under the Leopard name, run by the Picchiotti family, which went into crisis and stopped building around 2012. The Tombolo site was bought by Seven Stars Marina & Shipyard in 2019, and Seven Stars relaunched the Leopard brand in 2021 with a 36 m model; the original company no longer builds.
