Finding yourself at an auction to change the world even slightly and have fun, to improve the quality of life for many and relaunch by winning a Maremma horse, a lunch in a superfine restaurant, challenge yourself to the last euro for a weekend in a dream hotel or to take home a 1977 Fulvia coupe. Without forgetting the possibility of spending two nights inside a snowcat transformed into a love nest on the slopes, or finding a precious ring on your finger.
