It's not easy to work like this. We had already discussed that money, it's money that was expected. |

One of our most famous songs is 'O Sole Mio.' It's not about the mountains; it's about the sun, the sky. Our mountains are near the borders up north, and those are the areas where winter sports are big. Really, only about a quarter of the country is into those sports. |
