Leonardo Del Vecchio

  1. “Del Vecchio sends Francavilla and another collaborator on a scouting mission. In ten days they travel the world, from Ireland to Texas, up to Hong Kong. "When I got back, I realized that there was nothing to save. They worked very poorly, the factories were in bad shape, poorly organized, not managed," Francavilla tells me. "We returned and prepared a quick analysis for Del Vecchio," he explains. "When I met him, I told him clearly: no glasses are being made here."”

  2. “"The production had been relocated, and this is where their decline began. When you move the factory, you have to move the people, the managers. A factory isn't made of numbers, it's made of people," says Del Vecchio.”
