We were sitting in the boardroom above the factory in Vicenza. For several weeks, I’d tried to convince the press office to let me have a tour of the factory. For several weeks, they’d refused.
- Role: setting
- In the book: Penn interviews Campagnolo’s marketing director Lorenzo Taxis in the boardroom above the factory after weeks of being refused a tour. The company guards its know-how, so the boardroom is as far as he gets, and founder Tullio Campagnolo’s story is told from there.
- Why it matters: Frames the Campagnolo section; the refusal to show the factory is the point of the scene.
