the ettore mule emblem, in honor of magis
because it’s humble,
it’s not conceited,
it doesn’t show off,
because it’s a tireless worker,
because it never gives up,
when it falls it picks itself up,
because it doesn’t look for the easy way out,
because it loves a challenge,
because it’s innately, intensely curious and therefore continuously
explores new paths
