Il Gioiellino (Andrea Molaioli, 2010)– A conglomerate food company operating on five continents, quoted in the stock exchange, and in continuous expansion in new markets: this is what is known as a 'jewel'. The founder, Amanzio Rastelli, placed his closest relatives--his son and his granddaughter--and trusted managers in key positions, despite their lack of formal training in business. Management is unfit to face the challenges of today's market and the company goes further and further into debt. It is not enough to falsify the financial statements, inflate sales, ask favors from politicians, nor pass the risk to investors through creative financing operations ever more daring. The abyss has become too large and will swallow everyone.
