It is now 10 years since Hadidi has started and owns "Omh - Soluzioni Tecnologiche" in the town of Cavallerleone, a company with which he put himself at the service of the mechanical production companies in the provinces of Cuneo and Turin.

"I wish all the students present to find their way to work as I did," he concluded. "I thank the Salesians of Bra again for what they have
