Primary Evidence

"It is the enterprising Leonardo who proposes the legal form of a simple limited partnership, advised by that Milanese lawyer he ran into by chance while strolling on Via Dante, the elegant shopping street a few dozen meters from the city's largest optical shop, Viganò, which will become his years later. Leonardo responds with all his assets, but he also has the right to manage the company, to define its strategic directions and development. The two Belluno-based partners are the financiers; they hold the majority of the shares but cannot meddle in the ordinary management of the small Luxottica."
