:

 

We

 

stress

 

the

 

fact

 

that

 

all

 

the

 

boards

 

are

 

made

 

in

 

Italy

 

because

 

in

 

this

 

globalized

 

world,

 

where

 

getting

 

the

 

lowest

 

possible

 

price

 

for

 

products

 

sometimes

 

translates

 

into

 

poor

 

pay

 

and

 

working

 

conditions

 

for

 

the

 

people

 

who

 

make

 

them,

 

at

 

least

 

you

 

know

 

that

 

who

 

made

 

your

 

board

 

was

 

reasonably

 

paid

 

and

 

worked

 

in

 

a

 

safe

 

environment.

 

(this

 

obviously

 

applies

 

only

 

to

 

the

 

boards

 

marked

 

"Made

 

in

 

Italy",

 

we

 

cannot

 

attest

 

to

 

the

 

manufacturing

 

process

 

of
