I like entrepreneurs, and Italy sure needs more of them like this 55-year old man, who starting form his family's shoe business has been an empire worth almost $1 billion collectively; the most known of which is Tod's shoes. He has branches in several countries including the US (with a store on Rodeo Drive). He once designed a moccasin type shoe for Ferrari. He is on the Ferrari board of directors. He's working with Luca on a high speed train. He is a man with vision and dynamic qualities. Oh, and as one would expect, he owns several Ferraris. I don't know which models, I suspect always the latest one. He says he likes to park one in his driveway and look out from the house and see their latest achievement. If Italy had more guys like this they wouldn't be in such a financial pickle....
