| Ivan Pellacini | | Ivan Pellacini in 30 words | 62 years of age, electronics technician. It was in Gattatico (Reggio Emilia) that I started off repairing the first valve amplifiers, and this was the first step on my fascinating journey through the world of electronics for audio systems, marked by direct cooperation with prestigious Italian firms such as Davoli and Cabotron. Today I’m honoured to head an outstanding team that creates hi-end audio projects (the latest include the public address systems of the La Fenice theatre in Venice and Malpensa airport in Milan), with the same enthusiasm that characterised the early days of my career in the province of Reggio Emilia. | | Main character traits | I see myself as diplomatic, determined and coherent | | My hobbies | Listening to music, cooking and travelling | | Cult movie | Gran Torino, directed and performed by Clint Eastwood at his very best | | Best club I’ve ever been to | Fuori Orario, in Taneto (Reggio Emilia): the last word in live music in Emilia | | Favourite singer/band of the last few years | Vasco Rossi | | Favourite singer/band of all time | Lucio Dalla and Nomadi | All-time favourite Sound Corporation product
| Peecker Sound Mixer, mod. JA16 and XTE mod. EC 1000 | | If I hadn’t chosen this job… | I’d have been the chef of my own Italian restaurant in New York | | My motto | “Leading my business towards success”. |

Francy Romoli
| | Francy Romoli in 30 words | I'm the lynchpin of the business, the trouble-shooter, a cox in a rowboat, the girl Friday beavering away in the back shop no-one could do without! | | Main character traits | I'd say I get easily irritated, but I know how to keep the lid on it; I'm a diplomatic person, although smiling's not my strong point | | My hobbies | Football is my life: from an amateur kickabout to the World Cup | | Cult movie | Shaolin Soccer, by Stephen Chow: pure genius | | Best club I've ever been to | Jam, in Baggiovara (Modena): the ‘80s evenings take me back to my youth! | | Favourite singer/band of the last few years | Elio e le Storie Tese | | Favourite singer/band of all time | Adriano Pappalardo | All-time favourite Sound Corporation product

Andrea Croce | | Andrea Croce in 30 words | 37 years of age. I have a Degree in "Economics of Tourism" from the University of Perugia and a Master's Degree in "Science and Economics of Tourism", but my passion for music led me to work for several different local radio stations, and then as a Sound/Lighting/Video technician for a series of leading Italian tour operators, where I was put in charge of the technical management of the entertainments laid on at the resorts. After that, I worked with various companies in the entertainment sector, where I gained a good grounding in sound, lighting and video services for music events. But the "great leap forward" in my career was the training I received at Sound Corporation. | | Main character traits | I'm relaxed and easy going, but as they say about all good Scorpios, still waters run deep... | | My hobbies | Music, Cinema and IT | | Cult movie | The Usual Suspects (Kevin Spacey is just great!) and The Elephant Man, directed so disquietingly by David Lynch | | Best club I've ever been to | Ministry of Sound in London: if you've been there, you know what I mean! | | Favourite singer/band of the last few years | All the bands you hear on the radio | | Favourite singer/band of all time | I've always listened to a bit of pretty much everything. I can't say I've ever had any particular favourites. | | All-time favourite Sound Corporation product | Until 2001, AS120 Crossfire, then I fell in love with the X-Treme Arrays | | If I hadn't chosen this job... | If I hadn't followed up my boundless enthusiasm for audio systems, I'd probably have become an account manager for a major tour operator | | My motto | "If you're stranded on a desert island and you're the only one that can catch fish, don't use your catches to feed the other survivors - use your skills to teach them to catch their own!" |

Gianni Boccia | | Gianni Boccia in 30 words | I'm as normal a person as they come. I try to improve a little every day, making good use of everything life's taught me. I'm extremely determined: if I set myself a target, I put my all into achieving it. I've had a great deal of satisfaction from both my professional and personal life, but I've also had to face a lot of hard times, which have strengthened my character. | | Main character traits | Determination.

| | Maurizio Landi in 30 words | I've been an audio designer for over 30 years (not that I feel that old!). I was one of the first to use and develop Computer Aided Design 2 and 3D systems in Italy. I don't, however, see myself as the guru of Sound Reinforcement design you'd think I was to listen to some of my colleagues, especially those young (not that I feel that old!) engineering hopefuls on my team. | | Main character traits | Modesty and manners, coupled with the conviction that there's no problem that can't be solved | | My hobbies | Going cycling with some crazy people | | Cult movie | Saturday Night Fever, with John Travolta: that's where it all began! | | Best club I've ever been to | Picchio Rosso, in Formigine (Modena): the best club in Italy during the decade'75 to '85 - Tina Turner and Donna Summer can vouch for that! | | Favourite singer/band of the last few years | Coldplay, Michael Bublè, Alicia Keys | | Favourite singer/band of all time | My friend (and from my own town), Vasco Rossi | All-time favourite Sound Corporation product
| The upcoming line of Peecker sound loudspeaker systems (set for launch in March 2010) | | If I hadn't chosen this job... | I'd have done the Tour de France as a professional cyclist | | My motto | "POKA YOKE!" (i.e. designing "fool-proof" systems) |

| | Paolo Martignon in 30 words | Born in Brescia in 1973, Conservatoire diploma in piano and guitar studies, Degree in Physics, with a thesis in Acoustics, and a PhD in Acoustics. Today at Sound Corporation I deal with research, measurement and analysis of loudspeaker systems. That just about sums up my career. What else can I mention? A good result in the Triathlon Sprint Città di Levanto (the swimming part is always the toughest), skiing down Mont Blanc and sailing across Mediterraneo from Bocca di Magra to Minorca with more than 5-metres height waves: it was an epic "West Passage" faced with my friends of Ocean Team and with the same team spirit that I found in Sound Corporation. | | Main character traits | Intellectual honesty | | My hobbies | The guitar (which is more than a hobby - it's a part of my life!) | | Cult movie | Bianco, rosso e Verdone | | Best club I've ever been to | B.O.H.

Giuseppe Pe' | | Giuseppe Pe' in 30 words | "Tamer" of a roaring pride of "young lions", I realise I've become the kind of person I couldn't stand when I was younger: a pretentious, inflexible Head of Production, always ready to reign in the undisciplined. However, even in my current role, and even at my age (now that hair is but a distant memory...), I can understand where they're coming from, how difficult it is for them to listen, etc... This is why, day in day out, I try to do everything I can to do justice to my role of Tutor, constantly in search of dynamic, innovative teaching methods. | | Main character traits | I'm decisive and scrupulous - or to put it more bluntly, I'm a pain in the neck! | | My hobbies | All kinds of sports (although I'm no use at some of them!) | | Cult movie | Blade Runner by Ridley Scott | | Best club I've ever been to | Cabaret Parisién, in Havana, Cuba | | Favourite singer/band of the last few years | The best Italian artists - Elisa, Giorgia, Laura Pausini | | Favourite singer/band of all time | Incognito | All-time favourite Sound Corporation product | The most recent (I always get a kick out of the first test listening) | | If I hadn't chosen this job... | it would've chosen me! | | My motto | "You can't land a jumbo on an aircraft carrier". But I'm working on it... |

Matilde Giacobazzi | | Matilde Giacobazzi in 30 words | High School diploma in Foreign Languages. I've always loved working. I'm a simple, easy-going kind of girl, so much so that I can be exasperating (so I'm told). But I can't help it, it's just me! In Sound Corporation, I love the people I work with (some of whom are a bit ... nuts!) and the job I do.
