The usual cliche about Italians. I would like to remember HN's audience that Italy is the 2nd manifacturing nation in EU and that a big share of our GDP depends on engineering products and services: https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/ita/. Package medicaments, pumps, iron based products, cars, trucks, chemicals are not products that can be improvised without any organization. And in general Italian engineers are good.

P.S: I am both Italian and an engineer.
