...And That's Not A Small Thing
...And That's Not A Small Thing is the memoir of Vittorio Musso, born in Turin in 1955 into a family whose world was literally built on flour and espresso. From his foundations in Torino through school years and growing independence, the book traces Vittorio's coming-of-age against the backdrop of Italy's turbulent Years of Lead, his early days in radio, and his gradual entry into business. The story widens into the great themes of adult life — taking entrepreneurial leaps, falling in love, becoming a father, building a future — before arriving at the harder chapters: marriage, divorce, and the commitment to keeping family together regardless. Running alongside everything, like a constant current, is rugby — a sport Vittorio returned to after years away, finding in it not just competition but community, identity, and renewal. The final chapters bring full circle a life that moved from the Italian Rugby Federation to business evolution and ultimately to a reckoning with what has mattered most. Closing with a tribute section spanning 1955 to 2025, this is a memoir that insists, with quiet conviction, that a life of love, sport, family, and honest work is not a small thing at all.
