Lorenzo Rovagnati, chief executive of his family's company, was killed in the accident, said Mayor Luciano Casiraghi of Biassono, where Rovagnati is based.
In a social media post, Casiraghi said the accident occurred in Castelguelfo di Noceto, near Parma.
Rovagnati's best-known brand is the Gran Biscotto cooked prosciutto, though it also makes salamis, mortadellas and other types of processed meats.
