just a note to those at work where they track your web activity: that link, while containing the story about Montezemolo, also has a lot of pictures that some uptight managers might consider, um, not work related... |

the photographer better crawl back into his hole since absolutely nothing will happen to luca. he is probably one of the top 5 most powerful men in italy, and that privilege comes with many friends..... |

sorry.....
Montezemolo assualts a photographer
Evidently the formula 1 victory was not enough to keep Luca Cordero di Montezemolo's soul at peace. Wednesday morning, the president of Ferrari landed with his helicopter at Massa Cinquale airport, where, besides photo-journalists, a small number of fans had massed.
The local photo-journalist, Claudio Cuffaro, collaborator with the paper "Il Tirreno" was taking photo's while Montezemolo was transferring from the helicopter to a car. All of the sudden Montezemolo, who is also the president of the Italian Federation of Editors, exited his car accusing the photo-journalist of opportunism and went quickly from a verbal argument to a physical one.....at the shock of everyone around and not noticing that another photographer was immortalizing the moment.
Cuffaro was taken to 'San Giacomo e Cristoforo' hospital in Massa where he preannounced he would be going to the authorities.
The episode was first mentioned on the site "dagospia" who pubblished a special communique. |

Apparently a photographer was taking pictures at the wrong time and a heated discussion turned into an aggression from Mr. Montezemollo. The story is below in Italian!!
Montezemolo aggredisce un fotografo
Evidentemente la vittoria nel mondiale di Formula 1 non � stata sufficiente a rasserenare l'animo di Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. Mercoled� mattina, il presidente della Ferrari � atterrato con il suo elicottero all'areoporto di
Massa Cinquale, dove, oltre ai fotogiornalisti, si era radunata una piccola folla di persone attratte dal noto personaggio.
Il fotogiornalista locale, Claudio Cuffaro, collaboratore del giornale "Il Tirreno", lo stava fotografando mentre trasbordava dall'elicottero a una macchina. All'improvviso Montezemolo, che � anche presidente della Federazione Italiana Editori Giornali, sarebbe sceso dall'auto aggredendo il fotografo accusandolo di "inopportunit�" e passando velocemente dalle parole alle mani, fra lo stupore dei presenti e senza accorgersi che un altro fotografo stava immortalando il tutto.
Cuffaro � stato medicato all'ospedale "San Giacomo e Cristoforo" di Massa dove gli hanno diagnosticato cinque giorni di prognosi e ha preannnunciato una denuncia all'autorit� giudiziaria.
L'episodio � stato reso noto dal sito "dagospia" che ha pubblicato un comunicato del presidente del Gruppo di specializzazione dei giornalisti dell'informazione visiva -Associazione lombarda dei giornalisti, Amedeo Vergani.
