00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:15.600
Working for 35 years in the same place
could lead you to feel stuck, but that is not the case.

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:18.440
At least it was not like that for me, with Canali.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.040
When I joined Canali, 35 years ago,

00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:29.720
I had the feeling that I had joined, let me say, a small chamber orchestra.

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:36.600
And during all these years, I've seen how it has turned
into a great international symphony orchestra

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:42.240
where the musicians, namely each one of us, must have a slightly cross-eyed look.

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:47.560
That means that they must have one eye on their own score,
in other words, on their own work

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:53.240
while the other eye is always focused on management and the company's mission, 

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:59.480
being aware that we are not just cutting stones, but we are building a cathedral.

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:07.800
In my first years working in Triuggio, I was also a cashier at the company store.

00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:14.280
Sometimes Dr. Eugenio Canali would come down to the shop,

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:22.080
wearing a tailor’s measuring tape around his neck
blending in with shop assistants to serve customers. 

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:30.720
And from my vantage point, I smile, thinking of these
unsuspecting customers who were being served

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.440
or getting their hem measured, by the owner of the company.

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.320
Every day Canali challenges you

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:43.320
and this challenge, this motivation, allows you to grow

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:46.800
from a human and professional point of view

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:52.280
You must have the ability to catch the beauty in the moment as you are experiencing it

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.040
and so I caught the beauty of when we only carried out work done by hand

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.840
and I think I can see the beauty even now, in the age of technology.

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:08.440
In my opinion, Canali is special because it has preserved that familiar aspect

00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:15.800
which characterizes the heritage of this area,
rich in values that are the basis of our work.
