Amici di Maria De Filippi

Beyond the justifiable criticisms, I imagine that Amici is one of the very few Italian companies that, in the last two years, has managed to quintuple its profits. Of course, this has nothing to do with art, music, and creativity, but it seems to me there isn't much to discuss on that front. We're still talking about unworthy market regurgitations and about four pigs raking in money by the handful.
