First, Gildo will walk through our results at high level, provide the business updates and discuss strategy and guidance and recent ambition.

Yeah. Maybe want to chase also in the Northwest [inaudible] In Italy, where we had our recent Board. I must say that after the dynamic and a war in 2021, a year, which was a milestone for our company and the year where we performed quite well and we continue to show the strength of our strategy confirmed by the results of the first half of this year and this despite the complex macroeconomic and geopolitical context. And I think that we are satisfied with results, both in terms of revenue and in terms of margin.
