00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:14.440
I am the Plant Manager who manages the three production units
that Canali has in the Marche region.

00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:16.720
It is a 360 degree role.

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:23.000
I am the person who pulls the irons out of the fire
for the section leaders,

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.240
ensuring that their work is free of worries of any kind.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.080
I joined the Canali cutting department in 1993.

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:37.960
I had been hired to run a small section,
one where there were automatic cutting machines

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.000
and so, I was just coordinating the activities of that little department.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.280
Until, before Christmas 2017, I was asked to change.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.680
I saw the proposal to come here to Marche as another challenge.

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:59.760
And feeling the confidence of the Canali family
gives you that energy to want to do more and more.

00:01:03.080 --> 00:01:05.360
I want people to take responsibility.

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.120
That is to grow professionally and to acquire more confidence,

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:15.520
and to make everything much faster, leaner, quicker
and easier to achieve our goals.

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.200
To be able to have autonomy and goals
and also to be accountable for our decisions.

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:21.840
I think it gives that energy

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.560
to me first, and certainly, to those who will have to work
with me to achieve these results.

00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:35.640
We make a piece of anatomy as some would say.

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:42.920
Creating a suit or a jacket is a bit like turning
pieces of fabric into something that has volume.

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.040
It takes a lot of skill, that is why our most important resource is people.

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.440
The time Canali spends training a seamstress or presser

00:01:52.440 --> 00:01:57.080
may vary from a few weeks to over a year
depending on the operation.

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.360
The other valuable asset is our customers.

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:03.800
When our customer receives a Canali garment, it must be perfect,

00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:07.320
the result of careful, precise and meticulous work.

00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:09.160
Our people understand this.

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:14.600
Each one of us, even many of the workers, feels that the company is theirs, too.

00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:19.840
“We do…” “We are able to do…”
“We have reached...” Not “Canali,” but “We.”

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.880
Because we are a part of this family.

00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:31.640
You still hear people say, "Oh, I went there yesterday, there was a store
there selling our clothes." "They looked good!" Not " Canali’s clothes," "Our clothes."

00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:32.640
This is beautiful.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.720
I hope Canali never loses this ability to see what is important.

00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:44.160
to always aim for a product of excellence because
I am convinced that the market will be more and more restricted,

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:47.960
but people who love good taste and good clothing
will always be there.
