"Emilia is that piece of land God wanted to allow men to build the Ferrari. Emilians are like that. Do they have to make a car? They make you a Ferrari, a Maserati and a Lamborghini. Do they have to make a motorcycle? They make a Ducati. Do they have to make a cheese? They come up with Parmigiano Reggiano. Do they have to make two spaghetti noodles? They set up Barilla. Do they have to make you a coffee? They make the Saeco. Do they have to find someone to write and sing songs? They give birth to people like Pavarotti, Dalla, Morandi, Vasco, Liga. Do they have to give you a syringe? They raise a biomedical company. Do they have to make four tiles? They come out with some majolica. They are like the Japanese, they don't stop, they don't get tired, and if they have to do something, they like to do it well and beautiful, and useful to everyone... Will there be stones to collect after an earthquake? They, in the end, will make cathedrals. - ("il Resto del Carlino, Italian newspaper)
