Primary Evidence
""Form a limited partnership, you be the general partner, they are the majority," was the lawyer's advice, as Leonardo tells Ferruccio de Bortoli."

"At Johnson, Del Vecchio studies how to make molds for medals. He is the last arrival of eight workers, the young apprentice who can be asked anything. His colleagues send him to buy lunch every day. "But not for me," he recalls in an interview with Ferruccio de Bortoli in Corriere della Sera. "At that time I could not afford bread with mortadella and every morning my mother would prepare a 'schiscetta' with boiled cabbage: it was my lunch for years." The smell was unmistakable. There were no refrigerators, and the cabbage would ferment in the schiscetta until lunchtime."
