The splendid, richly decorated galley, the Bucintoro, represented the power on the seas of the Serenissima Republic of Venice.
In the 20th century, the F100-with its essential outline of an ocean-going tugboat-was the model of the luxurious yachts for sporty sailing, reserved for great capitalists and men of power. The F100 was the favourite boat of Gianni Agnelli - the lawyer - whose myth is unquenchable.
A gentleman of four wheels, he loved the sea intensely; on his many famous boats (Agneta, Extra Beat, Tomahawak, Capricia, Stealth, G.A., Cinquanta, Adagio, Azzurra) he had hosted the entire jet set of the world, from Heads of State to great politicians, to beautiful and famous women, including Jacqueline Kennedy.

The F100 was built in 1983 by Cantieri CRN in Ancona, to a design by Gerhard Gilgenast. 
She is 32,80 mt. long, the hull is constructed in steel, the superstructures in aluminium, and the deck in teak wood; she offers a high standard of safety and maximum comfort inside.
On the surface it can accommodate a speedboat and on the deck it can land a helicopter.
The Avvocato used to reach the F100 on the open sea with this craft.
He loved the Portofino roadstead, where he would anchor his jewel of a boat, sheltered from the action of the winds and the violence of the swells.
