I have been working at this company for 21 years.
Since November 28, 1999.
My first day here was confusing
because I was saying “Help! I cannot figure out who to relate to."
Then I met two wonderful colleagues who also taught me how to work
so everything was easier.
In fact, I have been here for 21 years.
The aspect of my work that I definitely like, that I am passionate about
is the relationship with the customer that translates precisely into being helpful, listening, finding solutions.
Building a serious relationship really means laying the foundations for a long-standing one.
I love that the clients trust me
because they know that they can count on me.
Some clients, because of age limits, are no longer in the business, but we are still in touch.
They speak to me as “Alessandra from Canali,”
a part of this world and of this reality.
When we talk to each other the question is always
"How is Dr. Canali? How is the Canali family?"
Maybe this is a lesson.
It is a lesson because the family loves their work in the first place
and loves what they do and that is inevitably passed on to us.
I hope this company keeps on being the company that it is today.
I hope it does not lose its DNA, and continues to believe in people,
continues to believe in Made in Italy
continues to be a serious business.
I have been here for so many years that maybe I feel this greater sense of belonging.
I am convinced that I have given a lot, but I have received more.
