1842. Lake d’Iseo. A sudden storm wreaks what appears to be irreparable havoc: damaged boats, disheartened fishermen with no means with which to work. But a skilled young carpenter, newly arrived in the area from Laglio on Lake Como, accomplishes a miracle, managing to repair most of the boats, earning himself the esteem and admiration of the people of the town.
This is how the Riva story began – from a man who became the master of his own destiny. The skilled carpenter who had just arrived in Sarnico was Pietro Riva.
