Not with a bomb but a jumper
Article Abstract:
Luciano Benetton, the oldest of the four brothers and sisters who constructed the giant clothing company is standing as a candidate in the Italian elections on April 5, 1992. When he was 15 he bought a knitting machine for his sister to make colourful jumpers and later met the Tagliacozzos, a family of retailers who began selling his jumpers far and wide. By the 80's Benetton was opening its own shops almost daily and there are more than 300 in the UK. His bid to enter politics is probably caused by boredom with being an industrial success story.
