You are an idiot. Luza Zaia has an Univeristy degree in Science of Animal Production. And an high school diploma in enology at Enology School “Giovanni Battista Cerletti” in Conegliano. He had no business with agriculture, ah? At least get your facts straight before spreading bullshit in the Internet.

@Edwin thanks for reading and the comment. In the 1920s, the fascists levied a tax on shopkeepers who used foreign words in their advertising.

The so-called “linguistic purists” published a poster that read: Italiani boicottate le parole straniere… Italians, boycott foreign words!

Little did they know that “boycott” was itself a foreign word!

Sound familiar?

Yup it’s sad. He even had a field of chinese vegetables ploughed up around the corner. Wonder if he knows that 95% of italian ingredients originally come from far flung places……
