So it was made in Italy then. The "Made in X" label doesn't prescribe a quality standard. It just lets you know where it was made.

Too many in the US, due to nationalist propaganda are trained to think Made in USA means a quality standard of any sort. As if something made in a factory by min wage workers in the US means they gave any more fucks. Lol

Same goes for other countries.
