They might as well make some of the Zanussi appliances in Italy for the EU market but most Italians hardly know the brand Zanussi! I can already imagine the dialogue between a potential winner and some of the local folks:
TICKET WINNER: you know... thanks to Zanussi, I'm here in your country! LOCAL: oh... that's nice! Well, I must say... they come up with all kind of funny names nowadays holiday makers! Ciao! Maybe is just a matter of pronunciation anyway... they can fob the Italians off just by pronouncing 'Zanussi' something like 'Rex' or 'Zoppas'... easier still: 'Electrolux' ;-) Anyway... beside the joke, I don't see this as being anything like what happened to Hoover... as this offer stands for a limited period only. |

That's it... you said it... they don't sell them and I might add they don't advertise them either. In my comment above I was referring to Joe public rather than to the few scattered centres in major Italian cities.
I'll tell a lie, I've actually seen an online store selling Zanussi washing machines in Italy... this is from San Marino... and they deliver to you door ;-) Laterz |
