A couple of weeks ago Pininfarina went on strike to protest the 120 workers that were fired as a result of the closure of many of its fabrication plants. Luca and I went down with Mark the morning of the strike to check out the action. There wasn't much of it, instead it looked like the only thing that was missing was a coffee bar. Despite the peaceful atmosphere they managed to block the main road for 30 minutes and of course the media was all over it and Luca got his 5 seconds of fame. You'll see the whole Coletti family in the first 30 seconds, click on link below:

kung fu kick!
Halloween was hopping in Pecetto this year. Little by little we're seeing this american holiday take it's hold here. But rather than knock on strangers doors for candy (unheard of in Italy), all of the shops are stocked with hard candy, candy pacifiers, and sour strips. This year Luca was a Kung Fu fighter inspired by Uncle E's gift from China. We rehearsed and re-rehearsed his kung fu kick much to the delight of many skype viewers. However, when the night came, our fighter was a little sullen. He was happy to chomp down on handfuls of candy instead.
