The historic building next to Milan Central Station will once again host the negotiations. Thus in its rooms, and along its corridors, a myth was born
The place, in this case, is history. Hotel Gallia, Milan, just outside the Central Station. Here, authentic adventures worthy of a grotesque novel have been consumed, and will soon be consumed again. Here players have been bought in exchange for herds of cows, they have signed cigarette packets as if they were checks to the bearer, they have combined real ambushes so that the so-and-so does not move to that team, but at the last moment he chooses another one. And, to surround this plot which in itself would be an excellent basis for a film in the style of Italian comedy, perhaps with some slightly spicy jokes, there were the stories that accompanied it and, inevitably, magnified it.
