Primary Evidence

"Leonardo Del Vecchio, already their supplier of anodized aluminum temples, meets Da Cortà and Vittorio Toscani, who propose him to open a plant together in Agordo."

"Relations with his brother and with Da Cortà deteriorate shortly thereafter. Checchi somehow feels betrayed by Del Vecchio's enterprising spirit, realizing that he has created a competitor in his own home, that continuing together means giving Leonardo the chance to learn all about Metalflex's commercial network and customers. They simply wanted a trusted subcontractor and a new production facility."

"Del Vecchio has started making complete glasses, but that is not enough for him. He wants to put the Luxottica stamp on his frames. He talks to Da Cortà about it once, and the partner asks him to wait a year. The following year, he comes back stronger, for him it is essential to start selling his own glasses."
