History
The corporation was founded in spring 1951 by brothers Josephus Verrucosus and Valens Verrucosus, with financial backing from Marius Claudius, after being awarded a contract by the Latin government for rebuilding areas of the country following the end of the Social War. The company was initially named Verrucosa Building and Infrastructure, and was later renamed when it began to absorb other industries, including LTC. Initially the company relied upon the Latin monarchy for its primary investment. From 1950 until 1958, the Duchy of Adrianople controlled as much as 88% of the company, of which a 5% non-voting ownership is retained by the Latin Imperial Family. Valens Verrucosus served as the company's first CEO and President until he was replaced by his older brother Josephus Verrucosus in 1977.
In the early 1970s, Verrucosa Tenura began to shift towards media and entertainment after the acquisition of major domestic movie studio and broadcaster Delpha, which also owned and operated LTC. Delpha Verrco continued to expand into telecommunications and the media market of the years both in Latium and abroad. Delpha Verrco is a publicly traded company in Latium, but the Verrucosa family holding company owns or controls just over 25% of all shares, and a non-dilutable 49% voting power over the company.
