Attilio skips his 60th birthday party and gives 30 euros to all his employees.

A simple but effective gesture. The Lecce entrepreneur explained it this way: "The party passes, but inflation remains."

Attilio Scarlino

Dancing, singing, and, most importantly, a great dinner for all his friends. Perhaps finishing with fireworks. Turning 60 is a significant milestone, and Attilio Scarlino wanted to celebrate in style. With an unforgettable party.

Attilio skips his 60th birthday party and gives the money to his employees.

But Attilio, in a gesture of great responsibility rather than generosity, wanted to do things differently. So he canceled his party and distributed the money from its budget, 30 euros, to his 80 employees . A special bonus to combat inflation and high utility bills . Like other entrepreneurial colleagues , whom we're also featuring, Scarlino is aware of the problems facing workers. The company is doing well, the turnover of his salami factory in Taurisano, in the province of Lecce, continues to grow in double-digits every year, but salaries remain low compared to the rising cost of living. So Attilio made a simple yet powerful gesture. And he commented on it with a beautiful phrase: "The party passes, but inflation remains."
