In the first question of the Medici Mediterranean Restaurant case study, it asks if
there are any other options that Alissa might consider solving this problem. There are
many other options that are not listed in the study that Alissa could exercise in this
scenario to make Guido focus more on his job. In this particular case, the head chef
Guido has not been through business school like the owner Alissa has. Guido lacks the
business skills that are imperative to keep a business well and running, leading to
recurring late payments of bills and invoices, deliveries of product that are not on time,
and a non qualified wait staff that is hurting the business. Guido’s focus is in the

The relationship between Guido and Alissa is obviously not working. In this
option, it says that she will try to figure out his future plans, meaning she would wait to
see if he is going to open a restaurant himself or not. This option is wasting valuable
time for Alissa, time that she can be putting toward training a new head chef and manager
for her business.
The second option would be to discipline or fire Guido. This option entails that
Guido has been repeating the same problems that have been addressed on previous
occasions. Alissa is worried that firing Guido would put her business in a competition
with Guido if he decided to open his own restaurant. With no guarantee that Guido
would open a business in the area of Medici, Alissa still thinks that disciplinary steps are
futile. This is the option that I would choose. The problems have been adding up for
Guido as an employee of Alissa. The business is losing money and it is at the point
where something needs to change. Alissa needs to cut ties with Guido, and hire a chef
that is responsible in making business decisions and skilled in cooking Mediterranean
cuisine. If Alissa does not fire Guido, Medici II will eventually fail as a business,
causing a major set back financially for Alissa. Alissa needs to take this risk of firing
Guido, and not worry if Guido will open a restaurant, for that will focus her on
everything but what actually needs

The organization of Giovanni and Lusanna falls into place and helps the reader to have an understanding of the case, Giovanni and Lusanna, Florentine social classes, government records, and judicial process. Structuring the topic of social class towards the beginning of the book would have been acceptable, by introducing the couple and their social rank. However, placing where he decided opens up the discussion of Giovanni’s Medici connections and ultimately his annulment with Lusanna as a fitting ending to the case. The book starts out with how he found this case out in the Florentine archives. He moves into how we got this information on the case of Giovanni and Lusanna through records, notaries,documents, and various legal sources, as well as church sources sent from and to the Archbishop.

	The tragedy is not Antonio's previous two years of unemployment- it is that he has no future in his new job, due to the theft of his bike. Antonio must face this tragedy with no public support other than his friend Baiocco. Baiocco's willingness to help with his friends and his optimistic response to Maria constitute another case of human optimism. This form of optimism pervades the film with Antonio's perseverance and determination to find the stolen bike. These events stimulate the viewer's mind to think of solutions related to Antonio's situation, perhaps to try to solve problems of post-war Italy such as crime, famine, health issues, living condition, etc.; ills that have affected society then and now around the globe.
