for one month of work?
Yes.
Why?
Your regular pay
is to pay the monthly bills.
What money do you have left over
to go on vacation?
That's the way
the Italians see it.
What good's a vacation
if you can't afford to go on it?
If you don't use
all those days,
the following year, you still have
the vacation of the previous year.
- Wait a minute.
- So you don't lose that.
- No, no, that's not true.
- It's true.
No, that's not true.
Tell him, tell him
how many days you have.
- 80 days.
- You have 80 days in the bank?
In the holiday bank.
He would like
to do more, of course.
Of course.
But how do companies
make any money
if they pay all this
to their employees?
I approached the owner
of a multimillion-dollar
clothing manufacturer,
the Lardini Company,
who makes men's fashions
for brands like Dolce & Gabbana,
Burberry, and Versace.
Do you mind
paying your employees
for all this time off?
And stress causes a lot of sickness.
So, do you get sick very often?
No.
Italians have one of the highest
life expectancies in the world.
They live four years longer
than the average American.
Yes, it's lunchtime at Lardini.
But they're not getting in their cars
to drive to the vending machine
or the takeout window.
They're going home,
like they do every day,
for a nice, relaxing two-hour lunch.
Do you come home
every day for lunch?
I continued my invasion of Italy
by going to the Ducati
motorcycle company.
Agreeing to meet with me
for a possible surrender
was the C.E.O. of Ducati,
Claudio Domenicali.
There is the very end
of the assembly line.
You call this an assembly line?
The line is hardly moving.
- It's moving very, very slow.
- Very slow.
The C.E.O. explained to me
that his workers
have numerous weeks
of paid vacation,
including other benefits,
as well as a strong union.
He saw no problem
with any of this.
We really feel that we are
being rewarded by this,
because the people
are very committed.
There is no clash
between the profit of the company
and the well-being of the people.
"There is no clash
between the profit of the company
and the well-being of the people."
Yes.
He explained that by paying
a good wage with good benefits,
a healthy profit.
Here we go again.
You know what that means.
It's lunchtime, I-talian style.
Grown men eating vegetables
and smiling?
What kind of factory was this?
All the fine benefits
these workers have--
vacation, a wonderful lunch--
how did this come about?
Is it still a struggle?
It's the system
that's part of the welfare, no?
- Yeah, the social welfare.
- Yeah, of course--
Welfare's a bad word
in the United States...
