S P E C I A L A C K N O W L E D G M E N TEnrico Gasperini – who will always be in our hearts.

I nnovation and entrepreneurship

aren’t easy, but I’ve always believed

that only people who manage to

transform their passion into a job can really

succeed; because every minute of their work

brings them happiness.
