Five of the eight heirs to the Del Vecchio fortune are pressing the board of their family’s holding firm to advance a plan to sell or distribute its financial holdings, Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported Saturday.

A decision depends on the board and doesn’t require a unanimous vote by the shareholders, the newspaper said, citing the lawyers of the parties. The heirs are equal shareholders in the holding firm.
