Italian pride

For our series 'Italy is much more than Berlusconi', I was chuffed to bits to spot a magnificent piece of interior design in the latest episode of Glee.

In the Glee episode another chair of his was displayed, the barstool:

If you want to read more about Bertoia's amazing life there is always good old wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bertoia
I would like to drag your attention to his hometown, because I am proud to say *LAle* and I share the same one as this wonderful ambassador of Italian goodness :-)
