"Del Vecchio is looking for his way in a sector where German manufacturers focus on high technical quality and robustness, while the French aim for captivating style. There is room for Italians, just combine design and quality and the job is done. Leonardo aims for excellence. At the center of his value chain, there is always and only the product. The engine of sales is the glasses, not what revolves around it."
