In the furniture sector he collaborated with the Busnelli Industrial Group.

Vallicelli is the first in Italy to obtain a university chair in industrial design for the nautical sector. Full professor of I ndustrial Design at the Faculty of Architecture of Pescara , professor in the interior design thesis laboratory for sustainable living. He teaches at the Master in Yacht Design at the Polytechnic of Milan . He has oriented his scientific activity mainly towards the study of the relationship between technological innovation and design experimentation with specific reference to the thematic areas of industrial design. He was a member of the Group of Experts of the Technical Committee of RINA (Italian Ship Register) for the "Pleasure Boating" section.

Among Valicelli 's main racing boat projects :

Ziggurat 916 (1976) Andrea Vallicelli, Vittorio Mariani and Nicola Sironi, design Ziggurat, a Half Tonner (IOR tonnage), future icon of Italian boating, a beautiful, fast, habitable and maneuverable boat in all conditions. Built by the C.P.R. shipyards of Fiumicino, from 1976 to 1989, the Ziggurat 916 is the first of Vallicelli's projects, 9.16 meters long overall, 7.90 meters at the waterline and 3.10 meters wide at the maximum beam. Sloop-rigged at the masthead and equipped with a significant sail surface. She has a light displacement (3.1 t with 1.55 of ballast) which favors great acceleration and an easy initial speed, even with little to medium wind.

Filo da torcere (1980) Designed by Andrea Vallicelli, Filo da Torcere is a One Ton (IOR tonnage), built in molded plywood, and won the "One Ton Cup" World Championship in Naples in the same year, proving to be the most consistent boat in all tests, regardless of the conditions, with good placings throughout the championship (10/5/6/3/4).

Brava (1981) The progenitor of the "Brava" series is a 45-foot first class IOR. Designed in 1981 by the young Vallicelli, built in aluminum in the USA by Minneford. She took part in the Sardinia Cup in 1982 and in the Admiral's Cup in 1983, winning gold at the Fastnet.

Azzurra (1983) The union, representing the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, with the patronage of the Aga Khan and Gianni Agnelli, is the first Italian challenger for the America's Cup. The project entrusted to the Vallicelli studio was built at the Officine Meccaniche Ing. Marco Cobau shipyards in Pesaro. Launched in Pesaro on 19 July 1982. Skipper was Cino Ricci, helmsman Mauro Pelaschier, Olympian in the Finn class in 1972-76 and in the cockpit, Stefano Roberti winner of the 1980 One Ton Cup and Tiziano Nava multiple winner of the Mini Ton Cup. Azzurra reached the semi-finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup, finishing third.

Brava (1984) Vallicelli designs the second Brava, One Tonner (30.5 feet IOR rating), built in wood, in West system laminate, in the Morri and Para shipyard in Rimini. The boat took part in the first One Ton Cup held in France at Trinité sur Mèr and in the Admiral's Cup in 1985.

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.
