Lots of interesting stuff in that intervista, such as Ernesto saying how Gianni Motta was like a son to him. And the birth of the "asso di fiori" logo, which the narrator translates as the "ace of clubs". Wasn't there some debate as to whether Ernesto considered it a club or not? Someone felt, if I remember correctly, that fiore should be translated as "flower"? This translator has an Italian accent, but I suppose that doesn't make him the end-all authority. But it is further support to the "club" camp I would say. What do the Colnagocisti have to say?
Apologies if this has all been decided by now...
