This is how you ruin another character upon their introduction.

‘Why aren’t you in school, student?’ she asked coldly, glaring at Ciri.

‘Wait, Tissaia,’ said the other woman, younger, tall and blond, in a green dress with a considerable neckline. ‘I don’t recognize her. I don’t think she’s…’

‘She is.’ Cut the dark-haired one. ‘I’m certain that she’s one of your girls, Rita. You can’t possibly know them all. She must be one of those who sneaked out through Loxia during the chaos when the students changed quarters. And now we shall wait for her explanation. Well, student?’

...

The woman raised her hand and Ciri immediately understood the seriousness of her mistake. Yennefer had demonstrated to her paralysing spells only once, tired with her long whining. The feeling had been considerably unpleasant. It was the same now.

Fabio cried terrified and leaped towards her but the other woman, the blond one, caught him by the collar and forced him to stay in place. The boy jerked his arm but the woman had an iron grip. Ciri couldn’t move. The dark-haired one bent down and glared at her.

‘I am not in favour of corporal punishment,’ she drawled her words coldly, evening her cuffs yet again, ‘But I will ensure that you’re whipped, student. Not for misbehaviour, not for the theft or elopement. Not even for wearing illicit clothes, walking out with a boy and telling him about things you were forbidden from discussing. No, you will be whipped for being unable to recognize an Archmistress.’

Rita starts with stating she doesn’t recognize Ciri, meaning she's probably familiar enough with her students to be able to. It’s Tissaia, who grabs the girl, and Tissaia, who threatens her. She also paralyzes Ciri, when she believes her to be insolent. Rita catches Fabio- still with Ciri- and lets him speak once he starts to explain.

Compare to:

“Mistress Laux-Antille”: *catches running Ciri* “Another runaway. You've had your fun, novice. Back to the dorms.”

Ciri: “Get your hands off me!”

“Mistress Laux-Antille”: *hard slap* “You will address me as Mistress Laux-Antille. And you'll clean the toilets for your impertinence.”

...

“Mistress Laux-Antille”, between drunken laughter: “Here, girl! Novices these days are useless. Not like when we were girls. I told you to bring the wine. ... I wanted red! ... Damned Cintran princess. What's so special about her, anyway? ... Girl, the wine! Now.”

In books, it’s Ciri’s pride injured. Her main issue’s the sorceresses dealt with Yennefer- as her guardian- instead of treating her like an independent person. She wasn’t abused by some cruel, sadistic bitch only because she’s younger and “only a student”. Rita’s even kind to her!

‘Hey, girl,’ she nodded at Ciri, ‘be so good and pass me a towel. Come on, stop pouting.’

Ciri hissed quietly, still offended. When Fabio let out who Ciri was, the sorceresses dragged her through half of the city, exposing her to public mockery. In Giancardi's bank the whole incident was immediately explained. The Sorceresses apologized to Yennefer, explaining their behaviour. ... Alarmed by the activation of Ciri’s amulet, Margarita Laux-Antille and Tissaia de Vries mistook her for one [of the sudents].

The sorcerers’ apologized to Yennefer, but none of them thought of apologizing to Ciri. ...

Ciri gave the towel to the Sorceress. Margarita patted her gently on the cheek. Ciri snorted and jumped and splashed into the pool of scented rosemary water.

‘Floats like a little leaf’, smiled Margarita as she lay down next to Yennefer on a wooden couch. ‘And she is as well formed as a nymph. You’re giving her to me, Yenna?’

Margarita Laux-Antille is one of those teachers, whose job is truly their life’s mission. She knows her students, she cares about them, she risks her life for them. Even as a member of the Lodge, her focus is education, not power. She doesn’t beat random girls on the street, because they possess magical amulet.

Fuck you Netflix, for ruining another one of my favourite minor characters! On such a deep, fundamental. level!

‘Ciri, serve us. Damn this carafe is almost empty. Come on, be good and bring us another.’

‘Bring two,’ smiled Margarita ‘As a reward you will get a sip and sit down with us, you will no longer have to strain your ears from a distance. Your education starts here, now, from me before you reach Arethusa.’

People love, love to bring up one-off moments of Yennefer at her worst. Yennefer who is mean, cold, haughty, angry, hurt, jealous, stand-offish.

It’s both funny and sad to me that people forget the rest. Yennefer, who ruins her expensive camlet dress without even realising it to save a woman having a miscarriage on the steps of Kaer Trolde. Yennefer, who gives the nervous young clerk Fabio Sachs the Younger such unexpected high praise that he blushes to the roots of his chestnut hair. Yennefer, who saves Giancardi’s family. Yennefer, who buys back Geralts swords without his knowledge - who has her own banker keep track of where he is looking for work, to make sure the region has a decent “Witcher fund”, even when they’re not together.

Yennefer, who on Skellige, earns the favour of Freyja, the patron goddess of motherhood; receives her grace, her diamond, her Brisingamen, because she is willing to endure more than the limits of human suffering for Ciri.

Yennefer has so many flaws: she’s a deeply broken, traumatised woman who’s prideful and knows how to play the ice queen. But if you don’t realise that Yennefer is also full of love for people around her, hidden kindness and compassion…you might want to read those stories again.

it really does matter so much that fringilla vigo is nilfgaardian, beauclairoise, for many reasons, but let's start here:

her entire role is that of an illusionist; one which she would not be were it not for her family lineage, rooted in beauclair:

There was a corridor in Beauclair Palace, and at the end a chamber, the existence of which no one knew about. (...) The corridor and the chamber, disguised by a powerful illusion, were known only to the palace’s original elven builders. And later–when the elves had gone, and Toussaint became a duchy–to the small number of sorcerers linked to the ducal house. Including Artorius Vigo, a master of magical arcana and great specialist in illusions. And his young niece, Fringilla, who had a special talent for illusions.

and since her talent in illusions is well-defined in the series, as it is her who grants geralt the very silver-mounted chrysoprase amulet which saves his life in the final fight against vilgefortz:

Geralt clenched Fringilla’s medallion in his fist. The bar fell with a clang, striking the floor a foot from the Witcher’s head. Geralt rolled away and quickly got up on one knee. Vilgefortz leaped forward and struck. The bar missed the target again by a few inches. The sorcerer shook his head in disbelief and hesitated for a second. (...) ‘I didn’t know …’ Yennefer said at last, scrambling out of a pile of rubble. She looked terrible. The blood trickling from her nose had poured all over her chin and cleavage. ‘I didn’t know you could cast illusory spells,’ she repeated, seeing Geralt’s uncomprehending gaze, ‘capable even of deceiving Vilgefortz.’ ‘It’s my medallion.’ ‘Aha.’ She looked suspicious. ‘A curious thing...’

that talent is something which cannot, by far, be separated from her character. and returning back to her lineage, it is again her familial relations which place her in beauclair.

she was positioned there, ready to intercept geralt, as early as the autumnal equinox in september, by which time geralt had barely just left the town of riedbrune:

The world over, the autumn Equinox was a night of spectres, nightmares and apparitions, a night of sudden, suffocating awakenings, fraught with menace, among sweat-soaked and rumpled sheets. Neither did the most illustrious escape the apparitions and awakenings; (...) In the huge castle of Montecalvo the sorceress Philippa Eilhart leaped from damask sheets, without waking the Comte de Noailles’ wife. The dwarf Yarpen Zigrin in Mahakam, the old witcher Vesemir in the mountain stronghold of Kaer Morhen, the bank clerk Fabio Sachs in the city of Gors Velen and Yarl Crach an Craite on board the longboat Ringhorn all awoke more or less abruptly. The sorceress Fringilla Vigo came awake in Beauclair Castle*, as did the priestess Sigrdrifa of the temple of the goddess Freyja on the island of Hindarsfjall.

* Slight correction - As explained in Chapter 3 of Lady of the Lake, Beauclair is not a castle, but a palace.

and she's only invited to beauclair in such a capacity because she is a relative of the duchess:

‘I’m in Beauclair because the largest, best-stocked library in the known world is here. Apart from university libraries, naturally. But universities are jealous of giving access to their shelves, and here I’m a relation and good friend of Anarietta and can do as I wish.’

(whom, you may note, she stands by and jointly receives geralt with at their first meeting, and participates in the festival of the vat with)

and therefore, she was in a perfectly strategic position to delay geralt, keep him captive:

‘(...) Please at least tell us … has the Witcher calmed down now? Are you capable of keeping him in Toussaint at least until May?’ (…) ‘No,’ she answered at last. ‘Probably not until May. But I’ll do everything in my power to keep him here as long as possible.’

because fringilla is not just an illusionist literally, as in the magic she is naturally gifted at, but 'illusionist' is her entire identity as a character.

and as her family hails from beauclair, this specific identity is compounded with the fact that beauclair itself is the center of illusions, a dreamland, a fairytale:

‘There’s something bewitched about this place, this fucking Toussaint. Some kind of charm hangs over the whole valley. Especially over the palace (...) no two ways about it, there’s something bewitched about this bloody Toussaint.’

fringilla is an illusionist because she is beauclairoise. she not only hails from a long line of illusionists, but hails from, is related to the ruler of, the very city of illusions and dreams.

she is the illusionist not just in a literal sense, but in the entire narrative role of casting an illusion over our hero, because it is the illusion of love which keeps her and geralt in beauclair. (the tricky trick is that geralt, taking a page out of yennefer's playbook of seduction, cleverness, patience, was able to cast an illusion upon the mistress of illusions herself, free himself from the witch's spell, awake from a pleasant dream to face the harsh reality).

(sighs) and even if you want to forget fringilla's beauclairoise identity and erase her entire positioning as the illusionist which poses a threat to our heroes, entices them to complacency, her role as nilfgaardian in the sense of her academic identity and imperial service also defines her.

because it is also fringilla, the illusionist who casts the wool over people's eyes... who blinded yennefer at sodden hill.

‘We’ve already met,’ Yennefer spoke again. ‘I don’t recall,’ Fringilla said without looking away. ‘I’m not surprised. But I have a good memory for faces and figures. I saw you from Sodden Hill.’ ‘In which case there can be no mistake,’ Fringilla Vigo said and raised her head proudly, sweeping her eyes over all those present. ‘I was at the Battle of Sodden.’ (...) ‘Occasionally one happens to see another person for only a split second, right before going blind, and one takes a dislike to them instantly.’ ‘Oh, enmity is considerably more complicated,’ Fringilla said, squinting. ‘Imagine someone you don’t know at all standing at the top of a hill, and ripping a friend of yours to shreds in front of your eyes. You neither saw them nor know them at all, but you still don’t like them.’ ‘So it goes,’ Yennefer said, shrugging. (...)

fringilla's (proud!) participation at the battle of sodden is a crux of the lodge, because she alongside her good friend, the scholarly assire, they are nilfgaardians who, owing to their nationality, find challenges meshing with the northern sorcereresses. the lodge brought together representatives of magic across nationalities in the midst of a raging, bloody war between them all.

and it's so integral to fringilla's character that she has imperial biases, that she approaches even the international lodge with an imperialist view.

with no factual basis, she initially exotifies and sexualizes the northern sorceresses, despite her own prior denial of these base stereotypes:

Fringilla Vigo was putting on a brave face, but she was anxious and stressed. She herself had often reprimanded young Nilfgaardian mages for uncritically yielding to stereotypical opinions and notions. She herself had regularly ridiculed the crude image painted by gossip and propaganda of the typical sorceress from the North: artificially beautiful, arrogant, vain and spoiled to the limits of perversion, and often beyond them. (...) Her untrammelled imagination offered up images of impossibly gorgeous women with diamond necklaces resting on naked breasts with rouged nipples, women with moist lips and eyes glistening from the effects of alcohol and narcotics. In her mind’s eye Fringilla could already see the gathering becoming a wild and depraved orgy accompanied by frenzied music, aphrodisiacs, and slaves of both sexes using exotic accessories.

she even has a difficult time understanding why the northern sorceresses are upset about the nilfgaardian invasion, believing it to be a boon to their society. only through their discussion does she just barely begin to grasp the meaning of "invasion" and why she wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it:

Some were clearly anxious about the close proximity of Nilfgaard. Fringilla had mixed feelings. She had assumed that such educated people would understand that the Empire was bringing culture, prosperity, order and political stability to the North. On the other hand, though, she didn’t know how she would have reacted herself, were foreign armies approaching her home.

all of this indoctrination into imperial beliefs, at the same time that she is an educated woman, and herself, as an imperial sorceress, known for being rebellious and an upstart within her own culture:

‘Stop staring,’ Assire said, touching her bouffant and glistening curls. ‘I decided to make a few changes. Why, I just took your lead.’ ‘I was always taken as an oddball and a rebel,’ Fringilla Vigo chuckled. ‘But when they see you in the academy or at court…’

this is such a chaotic rambling post, but all i want to say is that fringilla's character, like most of the minor characters in the witcher series, was not invented through random generation, a roll of the dice, a spin of the wheel. her specific traits - such as her nationality, lineage, talents - all relate back thematically. everything is relevant, specifically chosen to create a specific character.

if once changes her backstory (e.g., to place her at aretuza... though i don't know who would do such a thing for no reason) they would change her entire character, the series' commentary on imperialism, and because of her role she takes later on, even the entire ending of the story.

#fringilla vigo #c: fringilla #the witcher books #book: lady of the lake #listen i don't enjoy her character as in i don't think about her 24/7 but i am begging my fellow fans to not just throw her #entire character out because they don't like her or what she does or they think it's just a matter of preference if she goes to aretuza #because these specificities define her entire character which define the entire stay in beauclair which define the assault on stygga castle #which define the entire ENDING of the saga which define the MEANING of the saga #these little guys (fictional characters) are like dominos or jenga blocks. if you move one little thing it changes everything #like there's so much meaning and symbolism to the wintering in beauclair it kills me to see people throw it out the window #bro they were caught in a dream a pleasant dream #and you also know what. the way we see beauclair. is FROM a dream. from condwiramurs' intentional oneiromancy #it's literally a dream about dreams #AUGH i lose my shit over the fakedeepness of lady of the lake #also her name is the latin for chaffinch. she's a little bird: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringilla #which i am... guessing... relates to the wintering theme... perhaps...#analysis

Why I'm excited and not worried about the Witcher season 3

season 3 will be awesome and much closer to the books than season 2, don't believe me? I have proof

We are now about 3 weeks out from the season 3 premier, comparatively 3 weeks out from season 2 there where already reports about a lot of the stuff that wasn't in the books.

-Eskel`s death,

-2 big fight scenes at Kaer Morhen,

-Voleth Meir,an all powerful evil magical being that tricks those who want their deepest desires,

-the scenes together with Yen and Fringilla

-and expanded roles for Istredd and Fringilla( I actually liked these editions finding them much more interesting than in the books where they are just involved in love triangle stuff with Geralt and Yen)

but we know that many beloved scenes from Time of Contempt are making it in as well as a few crucial skipped moments from blood of elves

based on the trailer we are getting alot more family bonding, fluff, laughter Yen teaching Ciri magic, Geralt and Yen rekindling there relationship , Geralt and Jaskier actually being friends now ( apparently the writers have learned that you can have slow moments of characters just talking, laughing and getting along, they don't have to just bicker, fight monsters , and encounter evil all the time ) (( that's the last of the salt in this post I promise))

first of all, Stephen Surjik director of the A Grain of Truth episode is returning

based on the trailer/stills, casting reports, as well as set scouting pictures from Redanian Intelligence, we have these scenes confirmed :

- Jaskier singing to the dryads in Brokilon

- the scenes in Shaerrawedd

-Geralt visiting Codringher and Fenn

-Ciri and Fabio Sachs, the circus and the Wyvern

- The Thanedd Ball

- Ciri in the Korath Desert, with Ihuarraquax

- Geralt fight with Vilgefortz

comparatively I don't think we had any confirmed in the book scenes in the speculation before season 2

the only changes I that I have found are:

Jaskiers bisexuality and romance with Radovid and Vespula

Id like to clear up some rumors here, they are not “ aging up a character who is later a tyrant” this Radovid is King Vizimir`s Brother, not his son, a completely different character, and there are multiple characters named Radovid in the Redanian royal line in the books so its not impossible for the two characters to happen to have the same name in this instance

for the people who are upset about this change, they already changed Jaskier from the books, there he’s the archetypical pervy, womanizer bard archetype, in the show he still sleeps around with wives alot but he`s more of a golden Retriever “ falls in love with everyone” type than a skirt chasing pervert. So if most people were positive about this change, why should what gender his lovers are matter homophobia that's why

Frankly im just glad we are getting a bisexual male character that will be involved romantically with a man a and a woman on screen as two different relationships I cant even think of any examples on tv of that

the possible premature fate of Rience

honestly this one is just set scouting speculation that he dies here, but I really don't think people are going to be as upset at a chaotic evil character dying as they were Eskel,

The original character of Gallatin

he seems to be somewhat inspired by Isengrim and Iorweth, a scarred elf that is the leader of the Scoia’tael guerrillas, based on the fact that they felt they had to make an original character rather than use one of those two,( they likely wont be killing any book characters off prematurely who are not a villains after whole Eskel debacle) as well as reports the actor wrapped filming quickly, seem to indicate he wont survive the season ( could this be part of what leads Cahir into joining the hanza next season)

to conclude im super excited, this season is packed with scenes I ( and alot of others) have been really wanting to see I cant wait

Episode 3

SPOILER

Pfff Jaskier, you don't believe it yourself that your relationship with Geralt is only platonic. Stop fooling yourself.

Nice abs btw. Joey Batey you are amazing!

Poor fake Ciri…

Visenna is death? Geralt is crying? His childhood story made me cry 😭

Also, Giancardi and Fabio Sachs. Another scene straight from the books!

Good boy Jaskier, telling Geralt that Redania wants Ciri. And he knows something about Radovid is fishy…

If I was Ciri I would have fled as well. Gods those mages are snobbish and arrogant.

So… Istredd is working for Nilfgaard? Why a, I not surprised?

Remember r last post when I was saying I ship Cahir and Gallatin? Well it sunk before it even started… rip.

Redania is madness but I like it…

Woah the Wild Hunt!!!

I repeat: Henry Cavill deserves an oscar. Liam ah s worth will never master Geralt as he did.

Tomorrow last two episode of volume 1!

Feminine Ciri or tomboy Ciri?

..... Im going to lean on tomboy Ciri. Let's seeeeee.......

Loves to be one of the boys (most of her playmates in her childhood in Skellige are boys). She's more comfortable practicing her swordsmanship than doing the chores with the young priestesses/apprentices in Ellander, and has a whole keep of male influence teaching her how to fight. Triss and Yennefer may have instilled a few feminine traits (make-up application and flirting for Triss, sex-ed from Yennefer), but it only blunted her rough and tumble attitude.

This doesn't mean she can't be feminine. Ciri does turn on the female charm to her advantage when someone shows attraction to her (Jarre and Skjall... maybe even Fabio Sachs)

... very much like something out of the Witcher Bestiary XD.

That's how I see it, thank you for asking!

WIP WThursday

I was tagged by @poeti-kat, and I have no one left to tag here, so have further spoilers from the Olgierd fic (still untitled).

Earlier today, when he demanded to have the duel, he imagined that he would simply kill Sachs* after parrying a couple of his jabs, lazily: so outraged he was, so eager to teach the man a lesson — a very short-lived lesson, admittedly. By the time he arrives with his company at the beach, he’s changed his mind. He didn’t come to the city to kill, after all, not to mention killing anyone in anger wouldn’t make his job any easier. He’ll make enough enemies when he gets to it: for now, he needs other reasons to be known.

Sachs is already there, with five witnesses: all well-dressed men with sheathed swords. They’ve prepared the beach, so it’s well lit with torches, the sand is beaten and even.

Olgierd motions to his company to form a semicircle behind him, with Sachs’ witnesses closing it on his side. Sachs is visibly trembling as he stares at Olgierd — or rather at his scars, which are showing how experienced a fighter Olgierd is.

A/N: Not Fabio Sachs. The name might change.

Smart Gardening Gärtnern im digitalen Zeitalter 12.05.2022, 08:20 Uhr Vernetzte Smart-Home-Träume sind längst Realität, inzwischen hält der Trend auch in den Gärten Einzug. Egal ob Beleuchten, Bewässern, Mähen - so wird man selbst zum smarten, digitalen Gärtner. An kabellose Vernetzung in den eigenen vier Wänden haben sich viele Menschen inzwischen gewöhnt. Von der per App geregelten Lichtsteuerung über die Zimmertemperatur bis zum Fernseher - einige bedienen all das sogar einfach mit ihrer Stimme. Logisch, dass solche Systeme den einen oder die andere auch im Garten reizen: kabellos und ressourcenschonend, auch was den Faktor Zeit betrifft. So könnte die Zukunft intelligenter Gärten aussehen. Keine Kabel im Salat In einer Sache sind sich smarte Gärtner und solche, die es werden wollen, einig - die Vernetzung im Garten soll möglichst kabellos sein. Das sagt auch Fabio Banin vom Gartengeräte-Hersteller Stiga: "Wir sehen schon heute eine starke Nachfrage bei akkubetriebenen Geräten, die sparsam im Verbrauch sind. Gerade bei autonomen Mährobotern wünschen sich Kunden Lösungen, die ohne den Mähbereich begrenzende Kabel auskommen." Denn in vielen Fällen funktionieren Mähroboter derzeit noch mit Begrenzungskabeln, innerhalb derer sie operieren dürfen. In einigen Fällen wird außerdem ein Leitkabel verlegt, das die automatisierten Rasenschneider durch einzelne Mähbereiche führt. Mittelfristig wird sich das ändern, glaubt Gartentechnik-Experte Banin: "Im Bereich des intelligenten Mähens tut sich einiges. Es gibt bereits einen Rasenroboter, der mithilfe von eigens entwickelten Algorithmen ohne begrenzendes Kabel funktioniert." Mähen, gießen, Wasserspiele - am liebsten per App gesteuert Wer es dagegen genießt, auf dem Mähtraktor sitzend selbst auf der Grasnabe für Ordnung zu sorgen, kann das mit einem elektrischen Antrieb ganz in Ruhe tun. "Im Gegensatz zu Benzinmähern sind Akku-Mäher vor allem eines: leise", weiß auch Fabio Banin. Dass Akku-Mäher kabellos fahren und schneiden, ist ein weiterer Vorteil - auch in puncto Sicherheit: Die Elektro-Mäher, die noch auf ein Kabel angewiesen sind, sorgen durch Überfahren immer noch für durchtrennte Stromkabel oder blockierte Messerbalken. Um den Komfort im smarten Grün zusätzlich zu erhöhen, integrieren neben Stiga auch immer mehr Hersteller die Funktion, die Gartengeräte per App zu bedienen. Dazu gehören Mähroboter, aber auch die automatisierte Bewässerung des Gartens findet immer mehr Anklang. Hersteller wie Gardena oder Rain Bird bieten unterschiedliche Systeme an: Von Micro-Sprühregnern, die bestimmte Areale mit feinen Wassertröpfchen bestäuben, über Tropfbewässerung im Gemüsebeet bis zu sogenannten Versenkregnern, die wie im Fußballstadion per Knopfdruck aus dem Boden fahren und den Rasen großzügig wässern. Sie alle lassen sich ebenso per App steuern, wie Wasserspiele im Gartenteich oder einem Brunnen. Es werde Licht - und Schatten Mehr zum Thema Einen besonderen Reiz übt im Innen- wie im Außenraum außerdem eine gelungene Beleuchtung aus. Diese kommt im Freien in der Regel zwar nicht ohne Kabel aus, allerdings gibt es clevere Systeme von Herstellern wie GardenLights oder LightPro, die darauf ausgelegt sind, möglichst wenig Kabel im Garten verlegen zu müssen. Alternativ lässt sich auch die bereits im Smart Home installierte Beleuchtung, etwa das Hue-System von Philips, nach Belieben in Richtung Garten erweitern. Darüber hinaus gibt es eine Vielzahl an Sensoren für den Außen- und Gartenbereich, die sich nach Belieben kombinieren lassen. So ist etwa die smarte Außenbeschattung auf dem Vormarsch, die durch den Einsatz von Regen-, Wind-, Temperatur- und Sonnensensoren Markisen steuern können. Auf Wunsch kann ein sogenannter Windwächter dem smarten System aber auch mitteilen, dass bei einer bestimmten Windstärke der Garten nicht gesprenkelt werden soll. Um das individuell geeignete System zu finden und einzurichten, sollten Verbraucher Fachhändler vor Ort aufsuchen und mit ihnen die passende Lösung planen.

Andrea Guerra takes role at Italian food seller Eataly

Andrea Guerra, former president of the Italian international behind sunglasses brand Ray-Ban and for the past year senior consultant to Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi, has actually been selected executive chairman of food seller Eataly. Mr Guerra, who has actually concerned embody a generational turmoil in Italian industrialism, told the Financial Times that he would use up his new role from October 1. Eataly, which published profits of EUR350m last year, is a worldwide Italian food cycle that has its best-performing shop on New York's Fifth Avenue. Mr Guerra, in an interview, described Eataly as "a melting pot" that is halfway between an open-air grocery store and an outlet store, and a location where "education and culture meet". In addition to Italian technology business Yoox and start-up incubator H-Farm, Eataly "is one of those business that represent the new wave of this nation", Mr Guerra said. "We can make things, we can develop brand-new services. We can do it." Mr Guerra was defenestrated from Luxottica, the biggest eyeglasses group by incomes, where he had actually been chief executive for a years, last year, when the octogenarian founder Leonardo del Vecchio seized back executive powers for himself. The relocation restored fears about Italy's gerontocratic business culture and its 21st entrepreneurial malaise, as numerous of best-known groups were founded during the country's postwar boom. Mr Guerra swiped EUR40m in money and shares from Luxottica, whose share rate had doubled throughout his period. After leaving Luxottica, he became an adviser on organisation, market and financing to Italy's reformist prime minister Mr Renzi, who has vowed to demolish Italy's old elites. His most noteworthy contribution has been to introduce other private sector business individuals to Mr Renzi, including Claudio Costamagna, previous Goldman Sachs investment banker, and Fabio Gallia, head of BNP Paribas's Italy service. The prime minister consequently put the pair in charge of Italy's EUR400bn sovereign wealth fund, hoping they would use their private sector experience to more actively promote growth and task development.
