Written about

  • Leonardo Del VecchioCompany founder; preface contributor
    The actual cover reads Luxottica: 50 anni di eccellenza. Rommel’s original photo of the opening spread shows Del Vecchio’s signed text. This is one company work; the English title used in a thesis is not a second addition. Bill Emmott text is corroborated by the holding archive and institutional thesis; no full colophon was found.
