S. but not only, also the know-how, Italian skills. Here we are, to present to us the great company stories that tell the best of Italy on their own ".
They tell us how the local and identity roots of a company (and after all, the workshop headquarters, the Downtown Association, one of the oldest club houses in the United States that represents the roots of New York) can make new and different and above all global fruits sprout.
