Primary Evidence
"It's no wonder that when the Milanese bursts into the valley in the early sixties, with his energy and his four machines, the inhabitants of the area think of anything but working in a factory. His is the first "company" in the village, and at the beginning, it is viewed by the mountaineers with a certain distrust, he recounts."

"I have with me a bound draft containing much of the pages you have just read. I have no idea what the protagonist's reaction will be. I don't even know if I will have a real moment with him or if I will have to catch some time in a sort of ambush while he visits the brand-new showroom on the Milanese design street. He came back from the Caribbean just for this."
